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!
