Looking for a few ideas to make your space feel better immediately? You’ve come to the right place!  Here are some tips for fall...

Make sure your lighting for the darker days of winter is adequate. Check out junk shops, yard sales, and flea markets for inexpensive floor lamps needing a coat of paint or re-wiring, but still costing much less than those in an antique shop.

Place electric candle lamps around the kitchen to use instead of harsh overhead lighting

Use candle sconces instead of expensive electrical sconces (and save on the electrician as well) in the dining room. Buy four and hang in pairs on opposite walls in the dining room, then dim the overhead fixtures and light the candles for a cozy, romantic feel.

Put the feel of fall into your home without breaking the bank by changing lighter weight accessories for something a little heavier. For example, a beautiful brocade pillow can easily replace a lighter summer-look one. Or toss a cozy throw over the back of the sofa for instant warmth.

Cozy the bedroom by covering the quilt with a duvet of warm colors made from sheets purchased as seconds or close-outs. Simply stitch 3 sides together, then sew coordinating ribbons of heavier fabric to the fourth side to be tied together to keep the quilt in place.

Press a few beautiful leaves between the pages of a heavy book (make sure they are very dry) to use alone as a natural tabletop decoration, or combined with pumpkins, squash and gourds. Place the leaves on a tablecloth which is then covered with another cloth of golden tulle for a truly elegant look.

The beautiful autumn oranges, reds, yellows and last of the greens still on small branches make wonderful arrangements, especially when mixed with autumn berries and placed in a simple container.

Hollow out apples, slice a little off the bottom if necessary for stability, and place a tea light inside for a natural candleholder. Or hollow a hole in a gourd just large enough to hold a candle for another charming holder.

Get prepared for winter by placing handy receptacles in areas most likely to accumulate mittens and boots. Lined baskets or other large waterproof containers work well.
