Use The Property Brothers' Simple Advice To Cozy Up Your Living Room For Fall

There's nothing quite like a living room that feels timeless throughout the years. But, there's also something quite special about embracing the changes of the season, especially to help your haven feel warm, cozy, and welcoming as cold days and longer nights roll around for fall. If your home incorporates design choices that will always be in style, you'll find that seasonal elements blend easily and help your home feel refreshed and interesting as the seasons change. To help you celebrate the season of crisp air, falling leaves, and everything pumpkin spice, look no further than seasoned home renovation and design gurus, Jonathan and Drew Scott of HGTV's "Property Brothers." In an interview for HGTV, posted on YouTube, the brothers shared an easy, practical way to make sure your fall decor pops, recommending that you decorate with colors that invoke the spirit of the season.

"With a gray base, it's easy to add pops of color seasonally," shared Drew Scott. "For example, in the summer, yellows and greens can add a fresh, clean look. And for those cozy winter nights, purples, silvers, and blacks are great." To cozy up your living room for those fall months, hues like orange, green, and brown pay homage to the season and are perfect for warming up a neutral base. Below, we share Property Brother-approved tips for decorating with fall living room decor to transform your space, plus more advice on how to decorate seasonally on a budget.

For most, the living room is one of the most utilized rooms in the home — the place where you spend most of your waking time with family, entertaining friends, and relaxing. Thankfully, following the "Property Brothers" advice for your living room only requires a few decorative pieces that embrace fall colors like orange, dark green, and brown. A perfect place to start is with fall foliage, fresh, preserved, or fake. In the past, the Scotts have shared their love of bringing homes to life with plants, and one post on the Drew and Jonathan blog highlights some ways you can do so for fall. Decorate with fall foliage wreaths, garlands, or centerpiece vases filled with air-dried botanicals, including orange slices, pinecones, cinnamon sticks, and dried florals and pampas. Incorporating fall hues with foliage helps you bring the beauty of one of nature's most beautiful seasons indoors.

The second fall living room must-have is a mixture of fun textures and textiles that utilize fall colors. The brothers are big fans of mixing textures to add depth and interest to a room and prevent it from feeling dull, so take a page out of their book and mix textures with varied textile items. You can draw inspiration from the pieces recommended in their blog, including a pair of velvet fall pillow covers in burnt orange, chenille curtains in rust brown, bright orange crochet pumpkin coasters, and a cashmere-feel white and beige buffalo plaid throw blanket.

Since fall is such a vibrant and colorful season, it gives us so many colors to use for fall home decor. But as you might already know, the cost of decorating a main room like your living room can quickly add up, especially if you plan to change your decor with the seasons. While you might not have quite the same budget as the "Property Brothers" do for their home makeovers, they say decorating with fall colors is easy to do on a budget. Firstly, since lots of fall decor incorporates natural foliage, instead of purchasing from the shop, collect items directly from nature for sustainable, environmentally friendly, cheap decor. The HGTV stars have previously recommended drying your own florals for decor, and the same can be done for oranges, cinnamon sticks, and collected pinecones — all of which can be used for homemade centerpieces, garlands, and wreaths.

Also, don't be afraid to check the bargain bin and discount table for textured ceramics and discounted fall-hued decor, or to buy art for your home from the thrift store that incorporates fall pictures and themes. Since the Property Brothers are all about mixing materials and staying away from overly matching looks, you don't have to worry about finding matching sets. You can feel free to mix and match an eclectic array of fall materials, designs, and textures. Especially with a neutral backdrop, the variety will help you bring your fall living room decor to life.
