Autumn means cooler weather, family gatherings, and vibrant fall colors like deep reds, earthy browns, yellows, and oranges. Bring the feel of the outdoors into your home this autumn with these fall decorating tips to create a warm, welcoming environment:

• Create A Cozy Environment: As the weather starts to get cooler, you’ll want to spend more time indoors, laying on the sofa with your favorite book or watching a movie with your loved one. Create a cozy environment by placing throw pillows and blankets on your furniture. They not only provide warmth, but they also serve as fun decorative accent pieces! Choose blankets and pillows that come in fall patterns and complement the color scheme of the room.
• Replace Your Curtains: If your home has lighter drapes and curtains, consider purchasing heavier ones for the fall and winter. They’ll help to keep your home warmer, which will, in turn, help your heating bill. Choose fall colors (if they complement your existing décor) for a feeling of instant warmth – both literally and figuratively – in your home.
• Autumn Accessories for Your Table:  The expert interior decorators at Decorating Den Interiors by JT Inc. say your accessories are the standout pieces when you’re decorating seasonally. Take a glass bowl, basket, or metal tin and fill it with small pumpkins, gourds, and winter squash to serve as a centerpiece for your table. Add candles with fall scents, such as pumpkin or apple, and finish the table with linens in vibrant fall colors.
• Deck Your Walls for Fall: You can create Do-It-Yourself artwork for your walls by framing fall leaves and sentiments such as “Give Thanks” that embrace and celebrate the season. Don’t have the time for a DIY project? Choose artwork that has a nature theme and incorporates colors like golds, ambers, and reds to bring your walls to life.
• Paint an Accent Wall. Repainting an entire room may seem like a daunting task, but the professional house painters in Central SW FL, say painting an accent wall can make a huge difference. This is especially great for rooms painted in neutral colors like beige or off-white. You can pull in a fall hue like deep red or green and paint one wall in that color. Accent walls are especially great behind a fireplace.
