Fall is a beautiful time of year. Even though it means the summer season of boating and barbecuing is over, there is still a lot of fun and enjoyment to be had in autumn. John Elliott Interiors is the best interior design company at the Lake of the Ozarks, and we are here with the tips you need to decorate your home for the season without relying on the cheesy clichés. 

Whether some of us are ready to admit it or not, the fact is that fall is almost here! Summer's been wonderful, as usual, but we're ready for those changing leaves, delicious fall snacks and beverages, and the arrival of beautiful and richly colored decor that lets you know fall has arrived. This week, we're sharing with you some simple ways to easily incorporate fall decor into your interior design.

Find Easy Ways to Trade Out Seasonal Items
An interior design trick is to decorate your home in a way that makes it easy add seasonally appropriate accents without affecting the flow and feng shui of your home's decor. Do you have a wreath on your front door? Find something that easily matches your style and then add seasonal accents to make it match all season long. You can add orange and red leaves for fall, snow men and pine boughs for winter, pastel flowers for spring, and bright flowers and butterflies for summer. You can take this same concept through your home when you add seasonal accents to the pieces you already own.

Seasonal Scents are a Must
There's nothing quite like the warm scent of cinnamon apple pie to make you feel like you're walking into a cool fall day. Incorporating seasonal scents in your home is a super simple way to bring a seasonal giddiness to your home. While your interior design at the Lake of the Ozarks is partly based on the look of your home, the way your home smells always plays a huge role. When your family comes home to the wonderful fall fragrances, they'll be ready to pull out the flannels and have a bonfire in the backyard.

Organize by Season
Rather than throwing all of your seasonal decor in one tote and storing it away in the attic where you have to dig it out with the changing season, just as you do with your Christmas decor, keep the rest of your seasonal decor together. Don't mix fall and spring, otherwise, you'll be digging for ages trying to remember which box you put your pumpkins in. Better yet, organize everything in clear plastic totes so that you can quickly see which season you've got in which box. Do you want to be really organized? Stack them in order of the next season coming, that way the one you need is always on top!

Come visit our home interior store at the Lake of the Ozarks and we'll show you! We have a team of interior designers at the Lake of the Ozarks who would love to point you in the right direction and show you some incredible designs. Fall is almost here ya'll, and we're SO ready!

The outdoors in autumn becomes a colorful landscape of rich hues and intriguing shades. This time of year it's a wonderful idea to bring some of that fall beauty to the inside of your house. Our home interiors store at the Lake of the Ozarks has a few ideas to share on that subject.

Although the weather keeps getting colder this time of year, the landscape is full of warm, rich shades that seem to counter that fall chill. Take color cues from the leaves as they turn to bring a seasonal look to your interior design.


Deep Reds
Darker reds bring a beautiful depth to a fall interior design color scheme. You'll find wonderful shades to mimic the leaves of the trees outside. Other places to find the perfect red hues for this time of year come from common seasonal items like cranberries, cinnamon, or a red mulled wine. Rust-colored reds often used for rustic decor work perfectly too. 


Yellow & Orange 
While understated shades of most colors reflect nature best this time of year, you can add a few bright pops of color like the bright yellow and orange leaves that emerge before they fall off the trees. Of course, deep mustard yellows and burnt oranges look incredible too. The many different hues found in campfires offer lots of inspiration as well, and orange is abundant in the pumpkins you see everywhere from Halloween to Thanksgiving. 


Forest Green
The ever-present evergreens last throughout each season, so working a forest green color into nature-inspired decor can work well year-round. The richness of this color especially complements the other tones that give the shades of autumn their warm look and feel. 


Browns
Rich earth tones also work beautifully with the colors we have already mentioned above. Once the leaves fall, you see more of the bark of the tree limbs, and those campfires not only have the fire but the logs needed to build them. Brown shades make an excellent base color that works wonderfully with pretty much every accent color.


Simple Ways to Add Seasonal Colors
It's easy to change a few things in your home's interior design without replacing everything in the room. (Of course, when you are ready for a total room makeover, you'll find all of the best home decor and luxury furniture at the Lake of the Ozarks inside our showroom!) Use the colorful leaves from outside to decorate by placing them under a glass coffee table or in a frame. Bowls of pine cones, mini pumpkins, and gourds are lovely natural decorations on bookshelves or as centerpieces.

Accent pillows and throws let you layer fall colors over your current interior design. You can easily change out curtains and lampshades with each season too, and consider keeping a collection of art that allows you to replace pieces to match the seasonal looks of each room. Plaids are popular this time of year. Patterns and textures always add depth to any decor. You can even bring in a few metallics with rich coppers and bronzes.


You can find many gorgeous pieces of decorative art, throw pillows, wall coverings, and more at John Elliott Interiors in Lake Ozark to add to any room. If you would like to go a step further and completely change the entire look of a room, our interior design experts at the Lake of the Ozarks can help you turn any space imagined into a reality.
