Autumn is here, and with it comes cozy nights, warm colors, and the perfect excuse to refresh your home décor. One of the best parts about living in a Shea home? The flexibility and spacious design make it easy to switch things up with the seasons. Whether you’re all about bold fall tones or subtle touches of autumn charm, your cozy abode is the perfect canvas.

Here are a few ways to bring fall vibes into your space!

1. Create a Cozy Great Room Gathering Space

The heart of any home is the great room, and fall is the season for gatherings. Add plush throw blankets, soft knit pillows, and a few autumn-toned accents like amber vases or burnt-orange poufs. A large sectional or fireplace mantel is also perfect for layering seasonal touches.

2. Set the Scene with a Seasonal Dining Table

Autumn décor isn’t just about pumpkins on the porch—it’s also about setting the table for festive meals and cozy weeknight dinners. A rustic runner, gold flatware, and candles in warm tones create an inviting dining setup.

3. Bring the Outdoors In

Fall foliage is nature’s best décor. Arrange branches with golden leaves in tall vases, display a basket of seasonal gourds, or add a fall wreath inside the entryway for a warm welcome.
