Fall is here, all those beautiful leaves falling down from the trees and that soft sunlight, which isn’t burning anymore are great! How to cozy up your home for fall? We’ve prepared some tips and examples to make your bedroom welcoming and comfy.
Fall Bedroom Aesthetics
First of all, add colors that “feel like fall”. Think deep reds, warm oranges, and golden browns. They are inspired by the leaves falling outside your window, and they bring that cozy, comforting feeling right into your room. I have a dedicated bedding set for that, but you can even change the curtains.
Add soft textures everywhere. Start with flannel sheets—they’re soft and warm, just like a favorite sweater. Then, layer on a chunky knit blanket or a fuzzy throw. The more layers, the cozier it feels. Your feet will thank you if you add A thick, soft rug.
In fall, you want your bedroom to glow softly, and smell nicely. That makes string lights and a diffuser with essential oils nice additions. Place them on your nightstand, dresser, or even on a windowsill. Seasonal decor is also important.
After all, embracing the season’s colors, textures, and scents, your bedroom becomes more than just a place to sleep. It becomes your cozy retreat.
Weatherproof Your Window Treatments
Fall days and especially nights can be cold, and you’ll need a set that adds a practical dose of insulation. Tightly woven curtains made of wool, silk, and mohair work well to keep heat in and cold air out. Choose a set in a warm fall color to embrace the season. If your windows already have shades and blinds, just add warm curtains over them.
Bring In A Seasonal Scent
Traditional scents for relaxation include lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood are great as soothing ones for the fall. If you have some special associations, bring what you like for the fall: do that with candles, potpourri and essential oils. A garland made with dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and bay leaves would also work great.
Swap Textiles
Add more pillows, blankets and throws to your bed to make it as comfortable as possible: this is the focal point of any bedroom and it should be very inviting. Go for fall printed bedding, for checked textiles, for flannel sheets or a velvet coverlet, bring faux fur rugs and cushy pillows. A big and heavy blanket will instantly cozy up the room and a chunky knit one will also add appeal and texture to your space. Layer rugs on rugs and choose various textures to make the floor warmer. Start with a base rug, such as a neutral jute or sisal, and add a smaller, softer rug on top, like faux fur or wool. Rugs, throw pillows, curtains — anything that adds softness and texture will make your bedroom a more pleasant place to hunker down.
Budget Tip: You don’t have to break the bank to switch up your textiles. For example, you can DIY pillow covers from old sweaters or blankets. In addition, use fabric scraps from old clothes, linens, or even previous projects to create a patchwork blanket. This is a great way to reuse materials and add a personal touch to your space.
Add Fall Decor
Place a bowl of pinecones, leaves, stones, autumn flowers and leaves plus nuts and berries. Bring little cute accessories of your choice that symbolize fall for you – these can be banners, wreaths and other items you like. Consider adding string lights or fairy lights around your headboard, windows, or along the edges of your ceiling.
DIY Decor: Create your own fall wreath using a wreath’s base with such things as pinecones, leaves, berries, acorns, or mini pumpkins leaves. Hang it above your bed or on your bedroom door. Another simple idea is to make a garland using gifts of nature or cozy materials like yarn—hang it across your headboard or drape it over a mirror.
Feel the autumn and embrace it with these tips and you’ll never want to leave your bedroom!
