4 Fall Design Tips

Fall in Charlottesville, Virginia is all about the changing leaves, warm, earthy hues, and gearing up for tailgates outside of Scott Stadium to cheer on the UVA Hoo’s. However, fall is also the time to update your interior decor, and switch from the warm summer vibes to those cozy fall tones. Keep reading to discover 4 Fall Design Tips to incorporate into your home decor this season!

 

Use Plaid
Is there anything more fall than plaid? This classic pattern is a must for fall, but it can be difficult to figure out how to incorporate it into your interior design scheme. Try easing into this bold pattern by starting with pillows or throw blankets, something that can be easily swapped and stored. Change your interior decor as frequently as the weather here in Virginia!

Incorporate (Faux) Fur Blankets
Faux fur is all the rage for the 2022 fall season. For an extra layer of warmth while incorporating seasonal flair, consider adding a throw to your living room or bedroom decor. Bonus: the faux fur provides extra comfort while bringing in those soft and cozy vibes that every fall aficionado loves!

Swap Out Your Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are an easy way to nod to the upcoming season while also allowing for flexibility, as they are interchangeable and easy to stow away. Instead of bright colors and linen textures, opt for earthy tones, wool, fringe, and velvet to effortlessly incorporate that fall essence. If you’re in need of some new and improved throw pillows, we recommend stopping by local home goods stores like Folly Charlottesville, Be Just Charlottesville, and The Habitat Store to name a few!

Add Warm Woods
Another fall design tip that is sure to bring those fall vibes into your home is incorporating warm wood tones. Whether you’re looking for something more interchangeable like accessories and decorations, or something more permanent like building material and furniture, incorporating the warm grains of natural wood is sure to invite those rich welcoming hues that we love to see during the fall season.

 

If you’re anything like us here at Story House Real Estate, you look forward to the fall season all year long. To help get you in the sweater weather spirit, our blog on Things That Everyone In Virginia Does During The Fall Season highlights some aspects of the fall season that Virginians absolutely love. Take a look back at interior design trends from last year by reading our Top 4 Interior Design Trends for Fall 2021 blog. Get your home ready for the cooler temperatures by reading our 5 Fall Maintenence Tips, Selling in the Fall, and Fall Cleaning Checklist blogs. To those who are new to Charlottesville, we hope you enjoy the beauty and richness of the fall season, if you’d ever like recommendations on activities to do during the fall or just have questions about buying or selling in this season and beyond, we hope you’ll reach out to us! Happy fall!
