Create a New Home Look for Autumn
As Thanksgiving approaches, many homeowners are thinking about getting their homes ready for the holidays, which can often include parties, houseguests, and family gatherings. At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we have a few ideas for how to spiff up your space and make it feel cheery and welcoming for friends and family. Read on for more info!
Consider Copper
In recent years, copper has gained in popularity, and with its orange-hued glow, it’s the perfect accent for fall. Use copper pails to hold freshly cut flowers or an arrangement of assorted branches, or find copper accessories like trays to help you serve meals or as decorations. If you like the new shine, be sure to polish your copper on occasion, or you can let it shift to its verdigris patina.
Make Your Entryway Grand
Welcome friends, relatives, and other guests in a memorable way by sprucing up your entryway. Clean up scuff marks and consider doing any paint touchups that are needed. If you have the space, add a table where you can add decorative touches, or even place a comfy chair or two where guests can remove their footwear.
Give a Nod to Season in Your Table Setting
Nothing shouts autumn like plaid. Come up with creative ways to add a hint of plaid to your Thanksgiving table—through napkins, cloth trivets, placemats, or more. Use a plaid scarf as a table runner, or find décor that will add the plaid cozy.
Change Up Your Walls
Warm wall tones are in for autumn, so let go of that gray look and bring in a different neutral for your space. Use a wheat tone in your paint, which can bring on that warm and cozy vibe, no matter the season, and add new décor that speaks to fall—prints of changing leaves, moody skies, or barn scenes can help your guests feel the season.
Address Your Windows
As the nights get longer, making changes to your window dressing can help cheer up your room and make it feel like a nice haven for you and your guests. Consider Duette® Honeycomb Shades by Hunter Douglas. They can filter light, add a level of privacy, add protection from UV rays, decrease outside noise, and give you insulation at the window, so your room stays the temperature you want it, no matter the season. Or go with rustic charm by choosing interior shutters like Heritance® Wood Shutters, which offer superior craftsmanship and genuine wood feel. Plus, shutters can actually help with your home’s resale value. Finally, consider adding layers to any window covering you might already have—adding drapes or side panels will bring talk value, dimension, and additional depth to your space.
