Who doesn't like the atmosphere of fall? Summer finally ends and the weather begins to get to a comfortable cold; time to pick up some pumpkin and fill your home with the aroma of a delicious and freshly baked pie. And it's also time to bring in all the nice things that fall has to offer.
Here are 5 reasons why fall is best time to decorate according to About Home:
It's all about comfort
Fall is all about coziness, and it's the perfect time for the family to gather around the fireplace, share warm blankets and fluffy pillows, and enjoy warm drinks. All things cozy that were kept in storage during summer and spring are finally getting a tour to the town; everyone just nest in comfort and warmth as candles get lit.
It's entertaining season
Fall is the perfect time to spruce up your home to make everybody feel welcome and for your friends and loved ones to appreciate your abode. From Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve, it's around this time that we open our homes to the people that matter to us; it can be for some open house festivities with neighbors or for a more intimate romantic dinner with your special someone or for closest friends and family.
It's OK to be formal
Fall is the best time to take out and enjoy the fine things you have in possession; the silver, crystal, and fancy linens. It is the perfect time to make that contrast of a casual outside atmosphere (autumn leaves, pumpkin picking) and a formal inside atmosphere (crackling fire, candle-lit dinners). So dress things up, turn on the fireplace, dress the table, and revel in fall's coziness.
It can be done for cheap
What's good about decorating during fall is that you can do it without breaking the bank. You don't need to cash out to get the most relevant pieces; all you need to do is step outside. From pinecones, nuts, leaves, birch logs; they are all useful décor items for fall that you can use in many different ways - and the best part is, they are free!
It smells great
Fall is the optimum time to include scent in your home décor. The scent of autumn has that warm and comforting appeal, and the good news is it's easy to achieve for your home. From simmer pots, scented candles, potpourri; you can even DIY to have that aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, or crackling fire engulf the atmosphere of your home.
