1. Walls – No need to paint just for a seasonal change, but if you want to add some richness, paint is a great enhancement.
2. Lighting – Fall drama and atmosphere can be added to your home by using 3-way light bulbs or installing dimmers for your light switches...
3. Window Treatments - Fall is the time to cozy up your rooms. If you only have blinds on your windows, now is a great time to add a new element of color and texture to your home. Window treatments can also add an insulation factor depending on your chosen treatment, and if they are interlined.
4. Furniture – Fall is when you bring the rich colors of the outdoors inside with burnt oranges, brilliant reds, forest greens and chocolate browns. If your décor in a room reflects more summer than fall, a great way to warm it up is to change out pillows and throws.
5. Flooring – In the summer you may have chosen to take out your area rugs. Bringing them back inside “warms up” the space.
6. Art – Many of us have too much art to display all at the same time. Consider changing out your art for at least two seasons during the year. Hang some of your artwork during the spring and summer, and then exchange them for more appropriate fall and winter choices.
7. Accessories – All of us have holiday accessories we bring out during the winter months, but let’s not overlook accessories for other seasons, like changing summer lemons to fall apples, or palm trees to evergreens. Add accent lights to accentuate a beautiful painting.
8. Splurge on a set of dishes that remind you of fall; savory soups and meat dishes will taste even better! Try Crème de la Crème in Leesburg for inspiration.
9. Places where we love to shop in Loudoun, to get the look we want without breaking the piggy bank include: Home Goods, Zazu, Tuesday Morning, Otter Creek Collections in Leesburg and Really Great Finds in Purcellville.
