Autumn is in full swing, which means for many, it’s time to invite the holidays into their home. Now, more than ever is the perfect time to explore your inner decorator and embrace all that this time of year has to offer. In addition to greenery, lighting, and holiday scents, here are 5 more easy ways to capture the spirit and set the mood for a holiday season that’s one to remember.

1. Add or switch up throw pillows and blankets.

Tis the season to be cozy! Whether you’re curling up on the couch with a good book or simply need an extra layer of warmth on a cold night, throw blankets are a necessity. When it comes to pillows, while they don’t necessarily provide warmth in the physical sense, they do provide warmth in that they create visual interest. If you still have those lightweight cotton throws and pillows hanging around, swap them out for thicker textures such as faux fur, chunky knits, or velvet.

2. Adjust your color scheme.

No doubt that red and green are a classic holiday combination. However, it’s not the only holiday color combination. In fact, there are so many other colors that are perfect for creating that festive ambiance. Go ahead and flaunt that red and green if that’s what you prefer, but don’t discount sparkling silver, gold, and champagne tones, that are perfect for any winter holiday you’re celebrating.

3. Change up your wall art.

A quick swap of your current wall decor for festive and affordable holiday art is a great way to spread cheer and add a touch of cozy. And wall art doesn’t have to be the only thing you change out. While you’re at it, switch out more colorful items with warmer, softer decor to elevate the look of coziness in your home.

4. Layer up your bed.

A lot of time is spent in the bedroom and giving it a little seasonal attention can make a huge difference in how cozy your home feels this time of year. Start by swapping out those cotton sheets for flannel and increase the warmth by layering in a blanket between your top sheet and your duvet or comforter. Top it off with a handy throw at the foot of the bed for those extra chilly evenings.

5. Showcase a stylish centerpiece.

If you’re hosting a holiday party this year, there’s no better way to showcase your style than with a festive centerpiece. Bring your guests together around a table centerpiece that encompasses nature— squash, gourds, pinecones, seasonal leaves, apples, pomegranates, and cranberries are all welcome. Not only are these items beautiful, but they’ll also last the entire holiday season.
