ENJOY THE FINEST FEELING OF FALL WITH DECO'S FAVOURITE TIPS!
What would you say is the most classic seasonal feeling? Is it an idyllic plunge into cool waters on the hottest day of summer? Maybe it’s taking that sauntering stroll under a gentle winter snowfall? Or planting the first seeds of spring as a warm breeze breathes new life into everything? Whatever it may be, when it comes to fall, nothing compares to the delightful feeling of cozying up under a blanket, with no place to be and nothing to do. Except to savour that prolonged moment of pure bliss. And so, as the midst of autumn arrives, enjoy DECO’s favourite tips for creating the coziest fall spaces you’ll never want to leave.
THE AMBIENCE
Start with scent. Along with being the most powerful trigger of memory, scent goes a long way in making any space feel ready for fall. Just imagine: you wake up some Sunday morning to the gentle tapping of rain on your window. You put on your comfiest sweater, have a yawning stretch, and right before you curl up on the couch with a blanket and your favourite tea, you indulge in the rich scents of cinnamon, cedar, ginger, or even pumpkin spice. It’s those idyllic moments that sometimes seem too good to be true, but can easily become your everyday with a few simple tweaks. Add some scented candles or quality diffuser blends to any space, and you’ll find yourself instantly transported to that carefree fall day once thought to be forgotten.
THE COLOURS
As the most vibrant season for colour, fall offers some of nature’s most beautiful hues wherever we look. Ontario in particular is filled with a plethora of rich reds, youthful yellows, gentle greens, and overt oranges that warm the heart and still the senses. Of course, it’s no secret that these tones are commonplace for interiors this time of year, reflecting the inherent bliss and romanticism of fantastical fall. From fabric to furniture, accessories and all, everything comes in the colours of fall. Look for simple additions like throw pillows, ottomans, blankets, or rugs to instantly cozy-up your spaces. Mimicking mother nature’s most natural tones to embrace that unmistakable feeling of fall. Better still, you can blend these common colours with subtle tones of teal, deep magentas, or woody neutrals to create unique palettes that venture beyond the ordinary.
THE FABRICS
The epitome of autumn is comfort, and nothing emphasizes the feeling of hearth and home like the right fall fabrics. With their gentle touch and tantalizing textures, they invite us in and beg us to stay. Classics like wool and faux fur will forever be the standard choice for interior designers, as they never fail to evoke a timeless sensation of warmth. For a more contemporary approach, look to velvet and bouclé for a touch of elegance and unwavering comfort in essentially every space. Whether it’s revamping your den with new upholstery or simply adding a few eye-catching and tactile accessories to your bedroom, proper fall fabrics truly have a profound impact on autumnal interiors.
THE PATTERN
The incredible thing about prints is that they work just as well within the realm of high fashion as they do in interior design, especially when it comes to fall. From traditional to modern, avant garde and everything in between, autumn boasts an innumerable array of appropriate and engaging patterns. Standards like tartan, gingham, and houndstooth are always in style, while the budding trend of Nordic patterns is seeing more and more use in the home and on the runway. For a playful yet sophisticated approach, look towards clean patterns featuring foliage, florals, pumpkins, or even animals. Whatever your mood or personal style, the right fall patterns are easy to find and easy to use, quickly creating comprehensive seasonal spaces you’re sure to love.
