Warm Weather Fall Decorating Tips
It can be challenging to decorate for autumn while living in a warm climate. If you live in an area like Florida, California or Texas, September (and sometimes even October) can feel like an extension of summer rather than a transition in the seasons. But not to worry! Here are some of our top tips warm weather fall decorating for a cozy home.
Set the Mood
Watch fall-centric episodes of TV shows, bake cool-weather foods and light a fall-themed scented candle. You might even want to turn the air conditioning up so you aren’t physically hot. Putting yourself in the mindset of the season will get you in the perfect frame of mind for warm weather fall decorating.
Go All In
It’s easy to skate by and add only a few fall touches when you’re in a warm weather fall. But don’t do that.
Instead, fill your home with fall in every room. Add chunky blankets, thick pillows and cozy layers in subtle or vibrant orange and amber shades. By seeing hints of fall throughout the house, it’s easier to remember the season is changing, even when the thermometer may not agree.
Incorporate Nature
Even in warm climates, it’s possible to find ways to incorporate nature into your warm weather fall decor. Use dried plants and flowers to add autumnal flavor. Use dried hydrangeas, reeds, gourds and sticks as accent pieces or to create a fall-centered flower arrangement. When options for live plants are limited, incorporate faux leaves and branches. You can mix real and fake items, such as pumpkins. If all else fails, create your own pieces from nature, such as hot gluing colorful leaves to branches from your yard.
