4 Ways to Update Your Home for the Fall


As the summer heat fades and cooler weather begins to roll in, it’s time to say goodbye to all our beautiful summertime decor, so we can fully embrace the warm, cozy effect of autumn. Fall has a lot more to offer than pumpkin spiced lattes, apple picking, and beautiful foliage. When it comes to decorating, this season brings a lot of gorgeous warm colours, and an overall cozy aesthetic we all love. Between the family-oriented holidays and cooler weather, we all become more inclined to stay indoors, which makes decorating our homes even more exciting (and important!).

Deciding how to decorate your home for the Fall is no small task, but as always when it comes to all things lifestyle and decor, we’re here to help! With so many options for Fall decor, it can be hard to know exactly what items to use and how to use them in your home. 

Decorating your home for the season should be fun, simple, and easy! While it can be manageable for some, it’s not always necessary (or convenient) to redesign the entire inside of your home whenever a new season begins. Sprinkling a few Fall-inspired items around your home can completely transform the entire look without taking too much of your time. 

So we’ve gone ahead and made a list of just some of our favourite autumn-inspired items you can use to make your Fall decorating experience easier. Here are 4 easy ways to update your home for the Fall season using H&F items. 

CHANGE UP YOUR BLANKETS/PILLOWS

The fastest way to make your space feel drastically different? Switching out your pillows and blankets for on-trend and more seasonal prints and colours! Your pillows and blankets may seem like such a small detail when it comes to redecorating your home, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Changing out your old blankets and pillows to introduce some fresh new colours and patterns is one of the best ways to elevate your home, especially during such a cozy season like Fall, when you want your living room to feel warm and snug. 

If you’ve been looking for the perfect pillow and blanket to help you with your Fall decorating, you can happily stop your search! We have the ultimate Fall-inspired pillow and blanket for you to spice up your home with. 

Our black and white checkered pillow is made of flannel, which is such a staple fabric during the Fall season — it’s perfect for setting that cozy mood. It can even work well with your winter decor, which makes transitioning between seasons a total breeze! Shop our black and white checkered pillow here.

No couch or bed is complete without a gorgeous blanket. This blanket’s neutral colour scheme and unique diamond pattern makes it an easily integratable piece for your Fall decorating (and also makes an unforgettable gift). It’s seriously a must-have item for the autumn season. Shop our white and grey diamond woven blanket here

INCORPORATE MORE WOOD ELEMENTS​

When you think of Fall, you tend to think of beautiful foliage and natural, woodsy tones. As you decorate your home this season, try incorporating more wood elements into your Fall decorating to bring the outdoors in, and instantly make your room more warm and cozy.

If this sounds like something you’d love, we’ve got you covered here at Harp & Fin! We have a great selection of wood pieces for you to browse online and in-person at our boutique. 

If you’re looking for something to fill that empty spot on your coffee table, bookshelf, or fireplace mantle, look no further. Bring the outdoors inside your home with our wood branches. They’re small enough to fit into those nooks in your home that often get left untouched, but still unique enough to be such a stunning statement piece. Shop our wood branches here.

We love a Fall decoration that not only looks amazing, but is also functional! If you like the idea of having a beautiful item to spice up your home that can double as storage, you need our wood woven baskets! They can store anything from extra tea towels, fresh fruit, bread, or Fall-scented potpourri. The best thing about these baskets is that they are such neutral pieces. While they do make the perfect addition to your Fall decorating, you can also use them all year round. Shop our wood woven baskets here.

USE FALL-INSPIRED CANDLES

Did you even redecorate your home if you didn’t change your candles? An easy way to completely transform a space is by switching up the scent of the room. Nothing says “Fall” quite like an apple or pumpkin scented candle — seriously! Imagine walking into your living room and smelling a delicious pumpkin pie as you prepare to snuggle up on your couch with your family. Sounds dreamy, right? 

Thankfully, we have a few amazing autumn-inspired soy wax candles ready to be shopped online or in-person! The Fall candle lineup includes the scents: Apple Orchard, You Had Me at Pumpkin Spice, Sweater Weather, and Autumn Harvest. Shop them here.

ADD FRESH FALL FLORALS

Whether it’s for a special occasion, or just because, decorating with fresh florals is such a timeless way of adding a pop of colour to your space! Our floral bouquets make beautiful statement pieces for any room in your home. With Fall being famous for its yellow, orange, red, and brown hues, it’s only natural to want to incorporate those colours into your Fall decorating — and you definitely should!

If you’re wanting to add some autumn-inspired florals to your home this season, browse our selection of fresh florals online and in-store. Along with our September featured floral bouquet, we have so many other amazing options to choose from. If you don’t see an arrangement that suits your wants and needs on our website, contact us to discuss getting a custom Fall bouquet made!
