How can I make my living room cozy for fall?

The answer to that question is that there is no one thing that makes a room cozy. It’s all in getting the perfect mix. Read on to see what I mean.

The vintage blue floral vases on my mantel inspired the colors that I wanted to use for fall in my living room this year.

Black candlesticks and an old planter were freshened up with my favorite gold spray paint.

The faux blue berry stems, velvet pumpkins, and magnolia leaves all add texture, which helps to soften the hard edges of the brick.

I already have plans to order more of those berries to use at Christmas this year.

The tones of lavender, rust, yellow, and green in the vases inspired me to sprinkle those same colors throughout the room.

Now that I know how to keep mums alive indoors for several weeks, I didn’t hesitate to purchase several.

Focusing heavily on texture, in the form of throw blankets and velvet pillow covers in rich colors, is what you need for a cozy fall aesthetic.

Even an embossed antique brass box and a couple of wicker lidded boxes add to the texture.

So, what’s the secret to having a cozy fall living room? It’s the addition of textural fall touches, patterns, and rich colors that you add to your everyday decor.

Instead, it’s about enhancing what you already have with additional touches of texture, rich colors, and patterns.

Every detail, no matter how small, contributes to a warm and inviting atmosphere.

So, embrace these simple and classic ways to celebrate the season in your living room, making it a perfect retreat for the crisp fall days ahead.
