blankets to develop an accented atmospheric change. Take a look at your window treatments and consider a heavier fabric with possible prints. “Paisley is coming


back this fall.” Aguerri- Gomez says. “Use pais- ley prints on curtains or pillows, or venture out and buy a paisley arm chair that can nestle nicely into an unused corner in your bedroom or living room.” Elizabeth Polish, an


Bringing your home from summer to fall is simpler than you think. It all begins with taking inventory of your home to determine which nonessential items you can eliminate or switch and where you can add. “Start with anything fabric,”


says Maria Aguerri-Gomez, Academic Dean of The Art Institute of Michigan-Troy, a branch campus of The Art Institute of Michigan. “You can change your couch cov- ers, pillows and your throw blankets, add a duvet to your bed, change your window treatment or bathroom towels; or simply add a table run- ner to bring fall into your home without breaking your budget.” Take couch covers from


creamy and off-white tones to fall tones and colors. Choose earth tones such as reds and browns to bring depth and warmth. Navy blue can also be a great color to add in fall that can transition to winter. Not completely commit- ted to bringing that much color into your living room? Change your pillows or throw

Overlapping rugs is a trend that can bring contrasting elements together, while unifying sections of a room. Aguerri-Gomez recom- mends taking a bamboo or wicker rug and overlapping it with a more classical rug. “It’s a great way to bring contrast, color and texture to the room.”


Aguerri-Gomez predicts that mustard will be a key color this fall. Add a mustard table runner and change up your dinnerware and placemats to bring your table from light and airy to warm and welcoming. Don’t want to part with the lemons and limes nestled inside your glass vase as table decor? Try compro- mising and replace the citrus with artichokes and pomegranates for a fall final touch. For those that like to have feng shui elements in their home, you’ll be happy to


know that gold is making a comeback. Try mercury or gold canisters, vases and accents. In the past, gold and mercury were reserved for the holidays or special celebrations, but now you can bring them out earlier to bring that shiny pop the room will need. The last touch to bringing your home from summer to fall is mood lighting. Polish rec- ommends utilizing energy efficient LED lights and bulbs. Because you’ve most likely added thicker curtains to keep the cold out, make sure key areas are lit. Where you don’t need too much light, go for the dimming effect. “Change your lampshades if you can’t dim your lights. Make your living space as cozy as you can while saving energy at the same time,” Polish says. To learn more about The Art Institutes
