Pumpkins, gourds, fall leaves and foliage, cattails, and pinecones are just a few of the items readily available to serve as inspiration. You can carry your fall décor from tailgate to Thanksgiving and beyond by choosing one look that will bring fall into your home all season long. Inside you can make your home fireside cozy by doing these simple things: 1. Change your throw pillows. A pop of fall color will instantly add warmth to your space. Change out those cool summer colors for something in the copper or burgundy family. 2. Use layers, patterns, and textures.
