Temporarily Change Your Bedroom's Decor to a Fall Theme
Reviewing Ways to Satisfy Your Urge for a Seasonal Change Without Spending a Fortune
With a bedroom, we rarely think about making a seasonal change mostly because we believe it would be time consuming and pricey.
However if Fall is your favorite season and you'd like to bring fall colors into your bedroom without doing a major over-haul, here are three ways you can accomplish that without breaking the bank:
1. Cover Your Existing Comforter and Pillows with an Autumn Duvet Bedding Set
If your bedroom's existing color scheme is fairly neutral or decorated with a few fall color tones already, then go ahead and bring fall into your bedroom by putting a calming fall duvet cover over your existing comforter. By doing this, you still keep your existing comforter; you're simply temporarily covering it up. Don't forget to change those pillow cases as well.
You don't have to spend a fortune either. You can find Duvet sets for under $100, and the best part, when you're ready to go back to your standard decor, just remove it. Or better yet, replace it with a
Christmas Duvet Set.
2. Switch Your Standard Drapes Out for those that Feature a Fall Scene
This temporary change isn't as easy as the bedding change, however, if you choose drapes that go up the same way as your existing drapes, it's a breeze.
We rarely think to inter-change our draperies, yet window coverings can change the entire feel and look of a room. In the case of fall colors they add warmth and coziness.
Again, when you're ready to go back to your standard decor, remove them until the next time.
3. Add a Double Sided Fall Room Divider - Surprisingly, They Don't
Cost a Fortune
Granted, this is a more difficult addition to a bedroom (unless your bedroom is fairly large).
It's also a useful piece for large dual purpose rooms, such as bedroom/office combinations.
Because this piece is prominent, it isn't something you can easily store away, but why would you want to - just move it to another room.
You can place this gorgeous artistic piece in the family room, an office, a study area, a foyer or any place where there's a need to create a division in an open area.
Changing Your Decor for the Season is the Best Way to Get Over the Craving to Buy a New Home
My days as a Realtor afforded me the opportunity to understand the many reasons people decide to move.
People often expressed this common sentiment ... 'we need a change'.
After-all, decorating changes are a lot less expensive than moving.

I love those drapes! During one very cold winter, I attached a vinyl holiday table cloth to my patio doors. And realized I liked the seasonal theme..but had no idea they had curtains like those. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea Dawn (using a decorative table cloth) - yah, can't believe the choices there are for Art Drapes
DeleteBarbara, your ideas for changing room decor is always so helpful. Love your suggestions for decorating your bedroom in a Fall theme.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I especially love that quote by George Eliot. That's the way I feel about Summer. :)
DeleteThanks Pat, you're a summer gal :)
DeleteFall is such a beautiful time of the year! I love you suggestions for being fall colors and elements into our home decor. I especially love the room dividers. Those maple trees are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteCynthia, thank you - I could take fall all year round - If I could divide the seasons up - I'd say 6 months of fall, 2 months of winter, 3 months of spring and 1 month of summer :)
DeleteBeautiful ideas for decorating your bedroom for Fall. I love Fall too, but Spring is my favorite season.
