Fall is in the air or at least in theory here in Florida. Originally from the North, Autumn has always been my favorite season. There is something magical about the watching the bright greens of summer turn to the deep shades of orange and yellow and red. Coming from the fashion world, Fall was always the best time of year for pulling together the best outfits. Since moving to Florida, my life has changed significantly but my love of Fall hasn't changed. Fortunately, I can still get cozy at home.
If you want to get cozy in your space, think about the things that make you feel warm and nurtured. For me, it's all about textures and a warm ambience. I add cabled pillows and blankets, light candles and turn on my "faux" fireplace. For you it may be all about color or textiles, decor items or the scent of pumpkin spice. Or perhaps changing out some artwork or adding autumn-colored flowers makes you feel cozy. Creating a comfortable, warm space doesn't have be a major undertaking, it simply has to give that you that feeling of warmth when you walk into your space.
I look at Autumn as a time of renewal, more so than in January. It's a great time to make changes in your life as the air turns brisk, and the kids go back to school. The perfect time to redesign your home or perhaps to consider streamlining your belongings. This time of year, can be very motivating and encourage you to make some of the changes you've been telling yourself you will eventually get to. Maybe you start a new walking route that makes you feel better or start a self-care routine because it's okay to pamper yourself once in a while. It's also a great time to start preparing your home if you are thinking of listing it in the near future.
