Fall at The Lake House + Our Seasonal Decorating Tips
There’s something magical about fall at The Lake House—crisp mornings, golden light, and the perfect excuse to cozy up your spaces. This season, we’re leaning into warm tones, rich textures, and nature-inspired touches that feel both elegant and welcoming. Below are our top fall decorating tips to make your home feel like your favorite retreat, every time you walk in the door.
1. Lean Into Natural Elements
Bring the outdoors in: Use dried or fresh foliage—maple leaves, branches, seed pods—for centerpieces, vases, or wreaths. Natural textures instantly add warmth and character.
Swap out lighter summer accessories for items made of raw or weathered wood, woven baskets, or stoneware. These materials resonate with the season.
2. Richer, Deeper Color Palettes
Think earthy hues: burnt oranges, mustard golds, deep greens, warm browns, rust, and touches of plum. These tones pair beautifully with neutrals and help shift the mood from summer to fall
Use these colors in pillows, throws, rugs, or small decor items so you don’t need a full overhaul. Little pops can make big impact.
3. Texture Is Everything
Soft, cozy textiles are key. Swapping in chunky knits, velvet or bouclé throw pillows, woven blankets, or textured rugs transforms how a room feels.
Don’t forget contrast: mix smoother surfaces (like ceramics or glass) with rougher ones (wood, jute, burlap) to keep things interesting.
4. Curated Seasonal Accents
Less is more: choose a few standout pieces rather than decorating every surface. A fall-hued throw, a signature pumpkin display, or a wreath can set the mood without overwhelming
Use decorative trays or bowls to group seasonal touches like mini pumpkins, acorns, pinecones, or dried flowers. It creates intentional vignettes that look polished.
