Ahhh… fall is in the air. Even though Florida’s weather doesn’t transition to autumn the way it does throughout most of the country, Floridians can still sense that fall is on its way. And what better way to welcome fall than by giving your home a seasonal refresh?
Fortunately, transitioning your home from summer to fall doesn’t have to take a lot of work or money. You’ll “fall” in love with these seven chic and inexpensive decorating ideas.

The front door is the first place guests see when they visit, so it’s important to “leaf” a good first impression. Show off your fall spirit by hanging a festive wreath or floral arrangement on your front door.
Warm It Up

Swap out bright, summery shades with warm, earthy tones like red, orange, brown and gold. From textiles to home accents, incorporating warm hues is a simple way to give your home that autumnal look we know and love.
Paint It Gold

Nothing says fall like pops of gold. Transform classic fall objects – branches, pinecones, leaves and pumpkins – into elegant accent pieces by spray-painting them gold.
