Livingroom in the Fall..
To make your rooms look and feel warm and confortable, add lots of items and fabrics in dark jewel toned colors. ( Dark greens, burgandy, gold, purple or even burnt oranges) Remove all the fabrics that are light and breezy or light colored. Replace your curtains with dark or heavy curtains. Add a few heavy throw rugs. Don't forget to exchange your throw pillows for darker and more comfortable ones. It is the time of year to add a throw on the chairs or couch..
For the art, exchange it for darker frames or even darker art work. Use art that reminds you of fall. Use leaf prints or even fall sceneries. For some reason pictures of covered bridges always remind me of fall..Use what you have or even love.. If you can't exchange your art at least change the frames to black or dark brown or even forest green..
Now just add a few books, a candle or two in warm smells, and a basket or two and you will have a wonderful fall room.
I took down my white lace swags above the windows and replaced them with black. I brought up my rug with lots of dark colors. I used baskets for my magazines. I placed lots of pumpkin candles everywhere. They smell so good even when thay are not burning.. If you would like to purchase some let me know.. I make them and sell them, just leave your info on the comment line...I then exchanged my throw pillows for black ones instead of blue and added a fauz black fur throw.. It feels and looks warm and confortable in my livingroom.
I hope this gives you several ideas and helps you to warm up and make your rooms very inviting for fall.. Good Luck.. Leave comments and ideas Please..
