From rich colors to the festive feeling of the approaching holiday season, fall is uniquely inspiring. If you want to incorporate more of the seasonal spirit into your life, start by switching up your home decor. Here are four interior design tips for the season.

How to Incorporate Autumn Home Decor 

1. Seasonal Centerpieces

Centerpieces are an easy and lovely DIY project. You can dedicate specific areas, such as a coffee or dining room table, to display your festive creations. It doesn’t need to be intricate or elaborate. For example, you could use a lantern or candle as a focal point and place branches, pine cones, leaves, or autumnal flowers around it for a simple and elegant display. Use colors like burnt orange, yellow, and red.

2. Decorative Gourds

Nothing says autumn like a gourd. Larger varieties can look beautiful on their own, or you can complement them with other festive pieces, such as vines. Because real plants and gourds will spoil within a couple of weeks, consider using artificial ones instead. Place them in various colors and sizes around the house and on the porch to showcase the season. 

3. Themed Wreaths

Wreaths are a beautiful, traditional accessory that fit any season. You can purchase beautiful pre-made varieties or make one. If you choose to make one, start with a wire circle and wrap leaves and flowers around it. Then, add small pine cones or pumpkins in complementary colors throughout the piece.

4. Festive Tableware

Swap out bright summery dishware with autumnal varieties. Consider decorative platters that show the changing of the leaves. Also, use plates that are orange, red, or yellow to highlight the season. For dinner parties and other gatherings, add a decorative tablecloth and cloth napkins that have birds, pumpkins, or leaf patterns on them.

Moving into your first apartment is an exciting experience, as you can personalize the space with home decor to make it your own. Depending on the items you pick, you can create a rustic, traditional feeling, or a modern, professional aesthetic. Below are some tips to help you feel at home in your new place.

How to Create a Comfortable Apartment

1. Look for Quality Pieces

When furnishing the home, you don’t need to buy the cheapest particleboard options you can find, even on a limited budget. For example, you can shop at thrift stores, estate sales, and flea markets for attractive, vintage pieces that use real wood. Often, the items here are a similar price to retail store options that are prefabricated. Remember, you don't have to purchase everything at once. Choosing home decor that appeals to you should be an ongoing process.

2. Use Mood Lighting

Lighting is one of the most significant features in creating a cozy atmosphere. Avoid using the overhead lights whenever possible, and instead, utilize table lamps and accent lighting. By situating multiple small lamps around the room, you can adjust the brightness to your needs.

With fewer lights on, the place should feel cozier and softer. The flicker of candles and oil lamps further adds to the ambiance. Choose bulbs and lampshades that give off a warm glow, and use accent lights to highlight the most attractive features of a room.

3. Decorate the Walls

One of the best ways to make your apartment feel like home is to hang various designs, posters, and home decor on the walls. Frame photos that you like and arrange them in clusters. Also, look for interesting and attractive wall decor at gift shops, and if you have creative friends, hang pieces of their work.

Regardless of what you choose to hang, use the open wall space as a blank canvas for your personal style. You can decorate it with religious passages or artwork that appeals to you and reflects your favorite themes.

What is a Shoffice? It’s also known as the backyard Shed Office! It’s the perfect place for your at home office where you can still get away to take care of business. The concept is very similar to the she shed or he shed!

Having you own Shoffice will help you in many ways. You’ll get away from pets barking and children crying right when you get on the phone, the Shoffice may be the perfect way to run your career from home.

Tip #1: Make it cozy, but not too cozy. You’ll want to be able to get work done in comfort, but you don’t want it so comfortable that you don’t get work done. Try finding a desk to fit your unique style, and adding a very comfy leather desk chair. Then add a soft cozy throw to wrap around you when it starts to get cold in Wisconsin!

Tip #2 Bring in some live plants & seasonal decor. Fresh oxygen helps to keep your brain thinking and beautiful greens have a very calming affect. Try adding some sunflower vases for a little color to inspire your creativity.

Tip #3 Stock the fridge. To avoid the temptation to just go in the house every hour, stock your fridge with all your favorite drinks and a few snacks so lunch breaks can be enjoyed in the shoffice. Having a few small snacks throughout the day can keep you more alert for the workday! You may just need a little Amish Candy to keep you going!

If you need tips for decorating your Shoffice come by the Treehouse, and we will help you make your Shoffice happen!
