Top 2023 Autumn Trends: Simple & Cozy Ways to Decorate Your Home for Fall
Posted by WOCA WOODCARE
Cozy Up Your Interior with Warm Fall Colors and Scents
One of this year’s reigning trends is bringing the outdoors in, and autumn presents the perfect opportunity to lean into this style. Start with your wood fixtures and surfaces, which are naturally warm and welcoming. Emphasize this warmth by pairing the natural glow of wooden textures with the color palette of fall. Think deep reds, burnt oranges, and soothing browns, which will help you create an inviting tapestry of autumnal hues that beautifully accompany your wooden elements.
It’s easy to achieve this look through throw pillows, rugs, and other textile elements incorporating these colors. For instance, a rustic orange throw elegantly draped across a wooden chair gives a warm pop of color.
Want to up the cozy factor? Don’t forget the power of scent to create a cozy autumn atmosphere. Scented candles or essential oil diffusers with fall fragrances like cinnamon, pine, or apple will have your home smelling as good as it looks.
Set the Table for Fall and Play up the Details
Table settings provide another thoughtful way to decorate your home for fall. With a wooden dining table, unfold the essence of autumn with a table runner in a warm color such as deep burgundy or play with patterns such as plaid. Tableware in mixed colors of burnt orange and muted green not only can complement wooden tones but represents the natural, fall palette.
Consider placemats in yellows, golds, and reds that mimic the hues of fallen leaves. These can look equally chic placed on a polished wooden table or lining bookshelves stocked with small, decorative pumpkins, other gourds, or pine needles and cones.
When it comes to entertaining guests or creating a trendy, cozy space, remember that the details matter! An autumn wreath made of grapevine or twigs, fall leaves, pine cones, and miniature pumpkins can provide a natural, cozy feel to your front door that gets people excited as soon as they are welcomed into your home. These same elements make for an excellent centerpiece, and it can be as easy as filling a wooden bowl with them to add a touch of fall to your coffee or dining table.
Seasonal Care Makes for the Ultimate Clean and Cozy Home
Remember, your wooden surfaces need care as the temperatures drop. Protect your wood flooring and furniture by ensuring they’re appropriately cleaned and sealed, especially prior to decorating. This not only enhances the natural grain of the wood but also protects it from scratches or damage from decorative items. Using quality wood cleaners like WOCA Natural Soap Spray helps condition your wooden surfaces to keep them in top-notch condition.As you're cleaning up the indoors, don't neglect the outdoor spaces! Entertaining outdoors in the early evening is a great way to enjoy fall colors and cool, crisp air, so be sure you take the time to clean and protect your deck. The recent summer sun may have dried wooden surfaces, and fallen leaves can leave tannin stains on wooden decking. There’s no better way to stay ahead of any possible damage than with WOCA Exterior Multi Cleaner Spray, which is perfect for not only wooden surfaces but rattan furniture, metal fixtures, and even PVC fittings.
Creating an Autumn-Inspired Haven
Transforming your home into a cozy, autumn-inspired haven is simpler than you might think. While trends may come and go, the key is to create a space that feels warm, inviting, and authentically you. So, as you clean and decorate your home for fall this year, remember to play up your wood surfaces, infuse your decor with the rich colors and textures of the season, and, most importantly, enjoy the process.Looking for more decorating or woodcare tips?
