Decorating For Fall

Sharing is caring!

Every year I have these great big plans to decorate excessively for fall and the winter months. And every September life happens, school starts, sports start, other big design projects happen and well, the seasonal decor becomes a little more minimal than expected. But over the years I have learned that that’s OK. Your home doesn’t need these great big seasonal vignettes to transition into different seasons. Sometimes it can be as simple as changing a few throw pillows, placing a few pumpkins out, adding some texture and cozy elements to your mantel. I find myself craving more minimalists decor in general these days, so this year decorating for fall turned out to be more about changing out a few decor items versus tons of ‘stuff’.

Bring subtle hints of fall to your living space using these tips! You don't have to bring it a lot of "stuff" to properly decorate for fall!

Decorating For Fall

A neutral rustic modern living room all ready for fall with cozy textures and warm tones.

Today, I’m sharing our family room all decorated for fall! The last time I shared this space in our home was when I revealed our new paint refresh back in February. Part of me is feeling the need/want to make some bigger changes in here and make it even more minimalists and modern, but those will have to wait.

For now, I did make some small changes for fall. I removed a few of the prints on the vignette, added a few vases and branches and switched out some other small details. But what is funny, is how much this corner changed by simply changing the blankets hanging on the blanket ladder! Removing the real creamy ones and replacing them with this plaid wood blanket oddly made a huge difference!

When it comes to adding fall to this space, I brought back out my DIY Pumpkin Art that I made using a vintage door and simply added a few pumpkins and branches.

Adding Blankets and Texture

Create a warm and inviting family room space filled with cozy textures and blankets for a subtle fall look.

To me, fall is all about texture. It is that amazing time of year when you can bring out all the natural textures into your home and it will instantly feel cozier and ready for the cooler months. Over here I added a few wool blankets, a faux fur blankets on the white couch and a few vases with beautiful detail.

    Hi Taryn,

    I just love your work. Your style couldn’t have been described any better. I love your creative style mixing modern, industrial and rustic. I may be moving soon from California to Nevada. Your work will be a huge inspiration for me since the design in Las Vegas is just a bit loud for my taste.

    All the tips you can provide will be so helpful to transition the home to feel cozy and welcoming.

    I have lived in California my entire life and my home has been my place of serenity. This project will be a huge undertaking. Wish me luck.

      This is such an incredibly kind and humbling comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave it. Best of luck to you! Working on a new space is one of my favorites, it allows you to start from scratch and take your time to get the look you want!

    I decorated our basement family room in a similar palette. Looks and feels so cozy. Beautiful!

I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundr I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundry and put it away, the laundry bins are full again... one thing I NEVER feel caught up on! Do you fold each load as you do it? Or wait until you have a huge pile? I probably fold 1-2 times a week, I always put on a show and try and use it as some quiet time... #thisis30s

One of my favorite traditions we started since we’ve “been home”, is our weekly family movie night EVERY Friday night! We order take out from a local restaurant (we rotate who gets to pick the place) and then we cuddle up and watch a new movie none of us have seen. We’ve had to start going back to the archives a bit recently ha! But the kids love it and so do we. Having this space all finished so we can all lounge in here comfortably has been so nice. We haven’t picked a movie for tonight yet, last week we watched Beethoven circa 1992 and our kids were cracking up the whole time!

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
