    Never underestimate the power of candlelight to make a fall living room feel especially inviting.

How should you decorate a living room in the fall? 

You can decorate your living room for fall by adding accessories in traditional fall colors such as rust, crimson, brown, or mustard yellow. Switch out summer curtains for cozy velvet drapes, swap out throw pillows with seasonal plaids, or decorate your mantel with colorful leaves, pumpkins, preserved flowers, or a fall wreath.

How do you make a living room extra cozy in the fall?

Layering your living room with extra textiles such as throw pillows, throw blankets, and plush rugs will add warmth and coziness in the fall. Choose warm, soft textures like velvet, faux fur, or a chunky knit wool or cashmere to create a cozy feel. Incorporate natural elements like fall leaves, dried flowers, or a vase of branches to bring the outdoors in. And be sure to add plenty of ambient lighting in the form of candles, warm lighting, or a roaring fire in the fireplace.
