You can also introduce metallic tones into your homes by hanging new artwork or simply changing out the framework on existing pieces with frames that are heavier, such as switching out light wood frames for black metallic frames or copper/brass frames. The primary takeaway is to make the most of common accent pieces by using them strategically to give your home a distinctive seasonal feel with an unmistakable modern twist! Don’t be so bound by traditional approaches to color and content that you are not open to new, contemporary takes on seasonal home décor. And remember, a little can go a long way. A clean, edited look helps the eye to focus and will leave your family and visitors with the impression you are endeavoring to convey without looking too busy or contrived.
Bedrooms take on a completely different feel when you swap out your summer duvet for a heavier comforter set or bedding in coordinated colors of the season combined with quilts. Take a chapter from the living area décor recommendations and change out your bedding décor as well, trading light summer blankets for textured throw blankets such as a wool blanket and/or pillows in plaid or tartan or heavy, textured throws in chenille or wool. Bring a traditional feel to your bedroom by topping your bed with a folded quilt in a timeless design, or if you have an heirloom quilt, take the opportunity to warm the room by displaying the textile on a dark wooden, brass, bronze, or copper quilt or clothing rack. You can further embrace these yellow and red-based metallic tones that naturally coordinate with autumnal hues by switching out lightweight wood or wicker base lamps for those with heavier bases or accents combined with a lampshade in a seasonal color. Another option would be to introduce lamps with a pottery or ceramic base, warm alloy hardware, and quilted or otherwise textured lampshades. Extend the look by spreading small accent lamps or candles made of the same material, color combinations, or alloy accents throughout your home. The result will be a cohesive look that gives CHANGE YOUR BEDDING TO FIT THE CHANGE IN SEASON

Although often used or thought of interchangeably here in the States, plaid and tartans are quite different: Plaid is both a noun and an adjective. As a noun, it is the traditional Scottish word for a blanket or wrap. It is also a descriptive word for textiles woven in crisscross patterns featuring two or more colors. Tartans are plaids with proper names that are identified with a particular clan or community. While all tartans are plaid, not all plaids are tartan!
