Fabric
Add fabric layers to your tables and shelving to add to the cacooning feel of the season. Layering fabric is a designer secret to add a rich sense of warmth and comfort. You can use cloth napkins, fabric leftovers, or finds from the thrift store or garage sales to build your fabric wardrobe on a budget! Flat sheets work well as tablecloths or curtain panels. Recover dining room chair seats with some fabric and a staple gun, or sew up a few envelope style pillow covers for your sofa pillows, to update them for the season.
Simply look for fabric in your color scheme, and always combine a solid color with patterns to ground the look.
So take a weekend, or even a few evening moments stolen here or there to update your decor for fall, and celebrate the seasons natural delights!
