Go for warmer textures, such as velvet, plush or faux fur.
Add Throw Blankets
Who doesn’t love curling up with a blanket on the couch? Throw blankets are both practical and decorative. They also bring more texture and pattern into your home.
Put away your lightweight linens and opt for heavier throws, that will keep you warm. Use them to drape over a couch or sofa, or as an extra blanket on the bed.

Make Seasonal Floral Arrangements
Bring the beauty of nature indoors and freshen up your home with a seasonal floral arrangement.
You will need fresh-cut flowers from your garden or a store, and the right vase to put them in.

If you can’t get your hands on fresh flowers, you can always use faux or dried flowers to create a floral arrangement. These are long-lasting and super low-maintenance.
Dress Your Mantel
Decorate your mantel for fall to make your home feel extra cozy.
Use decor items that are of different size, shapes and height to add visual interest to your mantel. Put taller items in the back and smaller items in the front, so they won’t get lost. And don’t forget about the balance.
Hang a seasonal sign or print on the wall to serve as a backdrop. For a more relaxed look simply lean the artwork against the wall.
Arrange fall elements like pumpkins, gourds, large pinecones on your mantel. Place a couple of tall candlesticks to add height or use pretty lanterns.
Place a vase with a floral arrangement or berry branches.
