8 Quick and Easy Ways to Make Your Home Cozy This Fall

If you're anything like me, you're ready to bust out the sweaters and boots and indulge in your first pumpkin spice latte at the first signs of Fall. But if it's still a little too early (and warm) for that, adding some little touches to your decor is a great way to start beckoning the season and turning your home into the ultimate Fall retreat. With gorgeous soft fabrics, gentle lighting, and autumnal scents, you'll soon be able to turn your home into a cozy space you and your family, and guests won't want to leave.

Incorporate a Chunky Throw

Knits are the consummate warm-weather staple — and this goes beyond our closets. If you want a quick and easy way to add some Fall style to your living room or bedroom, drape a chunky knitted throw over the end of your bed, the arm of your chair, or across the back of your couch. This won't just make your space look cozy — it'll give you something to wrap yourself up in during those cold nights.

Add a Textured Pillow

Add a Textured Pillow

In addition to your chunky throw, why not add a textured pillow to your armchair or sofa? Look for knits, faux fur, flannel, velvet, and pillows with fringe like this one to add depth and comfort to your space. Combine two or three different textured pillows on your couch for the ultimate setting for some Fall relaxation.

If you want to get literal with your cozy Fall decor, here's a cute idea: write a cozy phrase on a chalkboard with some sophisticated handwriting. Place it near your front door or in the kitchen to encourage family and guests to make themselves at home!

Turn Fruits and Vegetables Into Decor

Turn Fruits and Vegetables Into Decor

Make your groceries double as Fall decor! Turn seasonal fruits and vegetables like apples, pears, pumpkins, pomegranates, and cranberries into beautiful centerpieces by arranging them on a pretty dish or in a wooden bowl for an easy, instant touch of Autumn — which you can turn into delicious dishes as they reach the end of their shelf life.

Fill the Air With Festive Scents

When it comes to creating an ambiance in your home, one of the most crucial aspects of that is getting the scents and smells just right. Bake a quick loaf of pumpkin bread when it starts getting cool enough to use the oven again. Light some seasonally scented candles like cinnamon apple or orange and ginger for some instant Fall fragrance. Or boil up some of your favorite seasonal fruits and spices for a natural way to perfume your home.
