Feeling a little sad about the end of summer? While it’s natural to lament those sweltering July days, there’s plenty to be pleased about when it comes to autumn. After all, fall is synonymous with crisp breezes, changing leaves, and of course the delicious concoction that is the pumpkin spice latte. The trick is to ensure the inside of your home reflects the mood and weather happening outdoors. At Latest Bedding, we specialize in helping customers create bedroom designs that reflect their inner character and taste while celebrating everything that’s special about the time of year. And because our brand-name bedding products are affordable, you don’t have to choose between satisfying your inner decorator and keeping your bank account happy. Read on for tips on decorating with the changing seasons, courtesy of our knowledgeable team. 

The Benefits of Decorating for Fall

Seasonal depression is all too common at this time of year. After all, the days are getting shorter and colder and the nights longer. Fortunately, decorating for fall can go a long way toward keeping you cheerful despite the changing weather. Not only is it fun to let your creative side shine, but studies also show that color has a strong effect on mood. In particular, autumn shades like orange and rust are associated with feelings of happiness and good cheer. If you want to feel better while adding some much-needed interest to your home, feel free to embrace some seasonally appropriate colors and decor. 

Of course, decorating for autumn doesn’t have to mean going with the stereotypes. While pumpkins and leaves may be traditional elements at this time of year, there are plenty of more subtle ways to incorporate the feel of the season. Sometimes the best design choices reflect everything that’s special about fall in ways that are less overt. Keep reading to learn more about fall bedding styles that will work well into the winter. 

Get to Know Fall Bedding Styles

Our bedrooms serve as sanctuaries and an escape from the stresses of work or school. They’re also a place where the average person spends eight hours or more a day between sleeping and relaxing. If your bedroom doesn’t spark joy, then it can interfere with your ability to decompress and rest, impacting your productivity in the days and weeks to come. Here are just a few tips for successfully incorporating fall bedding styles into your current decor to help you sleep easy and love your room again:

Colorful Throws

Want to change over your home from summer to autumn? Throw pillows are an easy, effective, and economical way to make the switch. A key decorative component of both living rooms and bedrooms, throw pillows add visual interest to a space via color, texture, or both. And the good news is you don’t have to replace your current throw pillows to embrace this design tactic. Simply pick up some shams in your desired styles and use them to cover the existing pillows. Wondering how best to give your home an autumn facelift? We suggest using throw pillows to add personality to your space. Consider some of this fall’s most fun colors, including rust, crimson, chocolate, and forest green. You can also include pillows featuring a few cozy fabric options, such as leather, suede, velvet, and faux fur.

Orange Is the New Orange

Orange is the shade most synonymous with fall. Fortunately, it also happens to be a hot hue in home decor at the moment. While orange can be a striking color, overshadowing other elements of a room, there are ways to use this design element to your advantage. We love the idea of an orange statement piece, such as an armchair, painting, blanket, or throw pillow. You can accent the item with more soothing neutral shades such as dark blue, brown, gold, and tan. The end result will be a serene space that inspires homeowners to rest and recharge. 

Tons of Texture

Texture is a crucial element when it comes to fall decor. Just as this is the time of year when individuals break out their suede coats and fuzzy sweaters, fall offers a great opportunity to incorporate cozy elements into your home design. Stay warm while enhancing your design cred by decorating with blankets made from wool, fleece, velvet, and even cashmere. We know you’ll feel more cheery about the changing seasons when you’re snuggled up under a cozy throw. You can also incorporate different materials and textures into your accessories. Consider a woven basket, metallic picture frame, or wicker armchair positioned in the corner of the room. 

Lovely Layers

Some people break out the down duvet as soon as the temperature drops. Others have a tendency to overheat during that in-between period when the weather is constantly changing. If you want to avoid waking up in a pool of sweat on autumn nights, layering your bedding is key. We suggest keeping your lightweight summer bedding in place at this time of year and adding a quilt or waffle blanket. You can keep it at the foot of the bed for use as needed. Consider a blanket featuring soothing neutrals like taupe, grey, or charcoal to help take your room from summer to fall. Along with providing some extra warmth on cool nights, this spare blanket adds both color and texture to your room. 

Outdoor Beauty

Spring and summer may be the most obvious times to celebrate the beauty of the outside world. However, there’s plenty that’s pleasing to the eye about fall. Along with sunflowers and eucalyptus, this part of the year is a great time to showcase apples, pumpkins, squash, acorns, and pinecones in your decor. Consider including a bowl of fruit in your dining room or adding some fresh flowers to your bedside table. Want to avoid decorating with actual elements from nature? Try a luxury comforter set featuring ivy or a botanical print in fall hues. It’s a great way to stay in touch with nature on those days you can’t go outside. And you don’t have to worry about whether or not you have a green thumb!

Subtle Scents

There’s a reason they say smell is one of the strongest senses. After all, aromas are synonymous with important places and events in our lives. If you want to add some autumn joy to your home, consider including scents in the form of candles, incense, or potpourri. We’re especially fond of cinnamon, pumpkin, and sandalwood at this time of year. Ultimately, though, the right option is whichever one works for you and your family. 

Shiny Metallics

Silver and gold may be the classics. However, fall offers a perfect opportunity to embrace warm-colored metals in your decor. We especially love the look of copper and bronze at this time of year. Consider a copper jug or vase positioned on your bureau. You can display it alone or with your favorite dried fall flowers.
