Decor
With the leaves changing colors and a crisp nip in the air, it’s time to wave goodbye to summer and welcome fall. The change of season is the perfect time to tweak the décor of apartments in Northridge. Even if you don’t want the overly-obvious skeleton and skull take on Halloween decorations, or cartoon turkeys, there are plenty of autumn touches you can add as a subtle nod to the season.
FALL SHADES
Even without painting or making large-scale changes, adding fall hues to your décor can make a major impact. Pack away throws and decorative pillows in light or bright shades and bring in ones in rust, dark green, burgundy or brown. Table linens, such as placemats or table runners are also easy places to add a pop of autumn color. In addition to the traditional fall shades, add a few metallic gold items for a rich, warm look.
COZY TEXTURES
Cool fall temperatures invite snuggles and cuddles. Give your apartment in Northbridge a cozy vibe by adding chunky textures. Toss a nubby knit blanket over the back of the couch or the arm of a chair. Add soft throw pillows to dining room chairs and use burlap in place settings and coasters. Place velvet pillows on couches or armchairs and add an extra rug to hard-surface floors.
PUMPKINS WITH A TWIST
Pumpkins are a go-to fall decorating option. If the bright orange look is too cliché, try giving this favorite a DIY makeover. Give fresh or plastic pumpkins a coat of white or ivory spray paint. The unexpected color will blend in with your existing décor while retaining a fall feel.
SWAP FLOWERS FOR LEAVES
There is no more classic sign that fall has arrived than beautifully-colored leaves. Exchange vases of flower for faux stems of red or orange leaves. A few long stems casually arranged in a glass vase is a lovely addition to an entryway or mantle.
CANDLES
Flickering candles add extra warmth to any décor. Pumpkin, apple or cinnamon versions give an instant autumn vibe. For a more subtle and elegant touch, place an unscented pillar candle in a vase of coffee beans. Or, place a collection of pillars of varying heights on a shelf.
