Fall Art Work

Though many condos look different, they all benefit from strategically placed art. In fact, adding fall artwork can instantly change the vibe in your home!

Make Your Couches Seasonal

By and large, couches have become a staple of modern life. Consequently, this has resulted in their rising cost. Unfortunately, this has hindered the ability of people to create a seasonal vibe in their small space. For instance, a bright blue couch in the middle of your fall-themed room does not scream condo décor win.

But don’t worry, there’s a solution that will give your couch some pizazz! Its simple, and only two words: slip covers. In fact, a colourful slip cover can be a cost-effective way to change the feel of your space without having to replace or reupholster! Furthermore, slip covers can be used to change up the vibe all year round. Plus, not only are they a great for condo décor- slip covers are also a miracle for cleaning your couches!

Fall Centerpieces

Whether you have a dining room table, kitchen table or both- it’s time to start thinking about fall centerpieces. Not only are centerpieces’ fun to arrange, they add that little extra something that will make your space pop! However, you must always remember to keep the colours consistent with your art, couch and other condo décor. Check out this article for some fabulous centre piece ideas!

As a rule of thumb, linens for formal table setting should only have hints of autumn themes. Alternatively, if you’re a more low-maintenance and practical individual you might consider going for an edible centerpiece! For example, you could create a beautiful fall-coloured apple centerpiece in under ten minutes! Plus, you’re allowed to eat the apples, because #edible. So, feel free to add or detract from them whenever you’re hungry or ready for a change!

Autumn Smells

Of course, when we think of fall decorating we often think visually, but there’s so much more to condo décor! For instance, releasing aromas like cinnamon, apple cider and pumpkin pie into the air will make your home burst with autumn! In fact, there are many different ways you can facilitate scents! For example, candles and incense work wonderfully. Plus, we found this great list of autumn candles. Not to mention, you can buy most of them at Indigo!

However, if you’re willing to put in a little extra effort, try boiling spices like nutmeg, cinnamon sticks and cloves in a pot. The aromas will waft throughout your condo, and really get your senses going! Additionally, have you thought about refreshing your fridge? If you want to take your scent mission even farther, try placing a bowl of new or used coffee grounds on a shelf in your fridge! After a few hours, your fridge will no longer smell neutral, but fresh. Plus, you could even add fall ingredients like cinnamon in the grounds to really coat yourself in Autumn!
