A simple way of shifting from summer to fall decor is by adding a wreath. Try placing it in the kitchen above the stove and adding glass pumpkins that double as candle holders for a chic fall look. If traditional orange and brown wreaths aren't your style, put a modern spin on them by choosing one in a gold or copper shade.
2. Refresh Your Porch

Summer is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean nights on the porch have to stop. Transition your outdoor decor from summer to fall like the @renovationhsbands with cozy blankets, fluffy throw pillows, and tons of potted plants.
3. Break Out the Books

Nothing says fall like cozying up under a blanket with a good book. Set up a bookshelf or stack books on top of mantels with candle sticks or vases for a cozy, lived-in feel. Find a spot on the couch, pour yourself a warm drink, and bring in fall. To amp up the fall decor theme, decorate your coffee table with wooden pumpkins like @perkinsonparkway.
4. Bring in Warm Colors

Start to bring in colors you associate with autumn. Start incorporating oranges, browns, neutrals, and plaids into your home. Mix and match throw pillows or decorate surfaces with mini pumpkins and dried flower arrangements. For the finishing touch, set your frame TV to a picture that really captures the fall season.
5. Bask in Baskets

A functional way to make your home feel like fall is to add baskets around the house. Baskets add a cozy element to a room, plus they're great for storage. Use them for storing blankets, books, remotes, and anything you want to be hidden.
6. Update Your Table Setting

To transition from summer to fall, refresh your table's centerpiece. You might have seen your mom do this when you were younger, and this trend isn't going anywhere. Add a plaid or checkered tablecloth, candlesticks, and small pumpkins to make your home feel like fall. Continue the theme of adding warmth to a space by updating your window treatments. Woven wood shades are known for adding warmth and texture to a space.
7. Refresh Your Bedding

Embrace the seasons changing by refreshing your bedding for fall. Swap your old bedding for blankets and comforters with soft neutrals, flannels, and shades of brown. It's an easy, inexpensive way of making your home feel like fall. Opt for a heavier comforter as the nights will be more chilly than in the summer.
8. Decorate with Antlers

Give your bedroom a mountain lodge feel by styling a room with antlers. It will give the room a rustic feel while being reminiscent of colder weather. Dark window treatments will also complement the antlers and reinforce the fall home theme.
9. Plaid Pattern Play
