Are you a pumpkin spice fan?

The good news is...you don't have to be OR you can be...in order to decorate your fall home. Using your five senses is one of the easiest ways to bring layers, depth and texture into your home decorating. But don't just stop with your five senses, think about MOOD too.

1. Smell: What smells make you think of fall? Bringing scents of apple, pear, spices, even tobacco can elicit the smell of fall.

2. Sight: What do you see outdoors that you can transfer in to your fall decorating? Think of colors, foliage, textures.

3. Sound: What sounds do you hear that remind you of fall? Falling rain, rustling leaves in the wind? How about sound tracks? Replacing upbeat music for more soothing instrumentals may elicit feelings of coziness as the days get longer.

4. Touch: When fall arrives we replace our thin textiles for heavier, more textural linens, blankets and pillows. Do you have different textures available as a reminder that fall is a cozy season?

5. Taste: Our kitchens are full of flavors of fall, but how can we carry those over to our decorating? Bowls of apples, caramels or even pumpkins on display are reminders that are taste buds need representation too.

6. Mood: Every bit as important as our five senes, the mood we want to create in our fall home should not be ignored. How do you want your fall home to feel? Cozy and warm like you're enveloped in a warm hug? Lighting can be instrumental for creating the ambience and setting the mood within your fall home.

Combining all of these elements together create layers, texture and depth as you decorate your fall home. Repeat design elements for intentional styling.
