Change up your décor by swapping out throw pillows and blankets in light fabrics and tones suitable for summer such as neutral tans or white shades in lightweight, breathable fabrics like linen and cotton for options crafted from heavier, textured fabrics such as fleece, wool, velvet, or cashmere in warm harvest tones such as golds and oranges. Or if you prefer, use deep jewel tones—shades of burgundy and/or deep, rich evergreens layered with earthy browns to evoke a sense of change of season and preparation to make your home cozy for cooler temperatures. Capture the eye’s attention by adding depth and dimension to your look by choosing a selection of throws pillows and blankets in a variety of shapes, sizes, and patterns that complement your selected color scheme. By working within a color palette, you can give any room in your home an edited look that exudes a feel of easy and welcoming sophistication! LIVING AREAS: SWAP OUT THROW PILLOWS AND BLANKETS
PLAID
Plaid and/or tartan and fall go together perfectly. Perhaps the most popular color combination for plaid, red and black, works perfectly to accent almost any design scheme. A plaid pattern in any color combination marries well with the darker tones associated with the season, and mixes well with other fabrics and warm wood tones, making it a versatile choice that works in any room of your home! (For more info and interesting trivia about the origins and differences between plaids and tartans, see the sidebar at the end of this article!) As this article points out, a wide range of textiles can be used to help create a cohesive décor that heralds the change of season. Leather is a timeless example as it can be used for everything from furniture upholstery to throw pillow covers and seamlessly introduces a contemporary feel that anchors any room or display.
