4 Interior Design Tips for the Fall
Autumn aesthetic
Nothing inspires the need to redecorate quite like a change of season. But we’ll let you in on a design secret: you don’t have to execute a complete overhaul to spruce up your space for a new season.
We spoke with Atlanta-based interior designer Kristin Kong about her top design tips for fall. Here are her top takeaways.
PLAY WITH ACCESSORIES
One of Kong’s tried-and-true interior design tips: Begin with accessories. “Pillows and cushions are the quickest way to change your look,” says Kong. “For fall, I think that a lot of the tribal motif accessories are well-suited both in color and design.” Bonus tip: Keeping the main furniture neutral makes it easy to swap out accessories as the seasons change.
INCORPORATE NATURE
“I always change my patio for the seasons, and I love to incorporate things that might not be traditionally seen as patio decor,” says Kong. Her go-to items for fall decor are natural, in-season fruits and veggies like gourds, pumpkins, and squash. “I love to add some large wooden or ceramic vessels outside and use them to hold things like cinnamon brooms, dried magnolia leaves, and fall-colored feathers. Adding these elements gives a very earthy fall vibe.”
