Welcoming Autumn into Your Shea Home

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.

The Plan 2 at Primero at Del Sol offers a spacious great room with an open layout, perfect for layering in cozy seasonal textures while still having plenty of space for entertaining.

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.

Where you’ll love this idea:
The townhomes at Metro at Piemonte include open dining areas that flow seamlessly into the kitchen—perfect for showing off a fall tablescape that feels welcoming for both everyday meals and special occasions.

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.

Where you’ll love this idea:
In the Plan 2 at Crestview at Summit at Orchard Hills, the entryways and living areas have plenty of wall space and natural light, giving you the perfect backdrop for layering in organic textures that reflect the season.

4. Cozy Up the Bedrooms

Bedrooms are where comfort shines. Swap out lightweight linens for rich, layered bedding in deep jewel tones or autumnal neutrals. Add a textured throw at the foot of the bed for instant seasonal charm!

Where you’ll love this idea:
The Arrowleaf at Rienda Plan 3 features spacious bedrooms that make it easy to experiment with layered textiles and seasonal colors. You’ll have room to create that cozy, retreat-like vibe you crave this time of year.

5. Elevate Outdoor Living Spaces

Even as the temperatures cool, outdoor living spaces can be enjoyed with the right touches. Add lanterns, string lights, and a fire pit for gathering under the stars. Autumn-toned cushions and outdoor rugs make the space feel seasonal yet inviting.

Where you’ll love this idea:
At Fresco at Del Sol in Ventura, private outdoor patios provide the perfect opportunity to create a fall-ready retreat for sipping cider or hosting friends on crisp evenings.
