Make Your Home Fall-Ready with Guiry’s

Looking to get your home ready for fall? As the season changes, it’s the perfect time to refresh your interior with warm paint colors, cozy area rugs, and creative DIY décor. Whether you're updating a living room, entryway, or bedroom, these simple fall home decorating ideas will make your space feel inviting and seasonal—without a full renovation. At Guiry’s, we have everything you need to transition your home from summer to fall with style.

1. Update Your Walls with Fall Paint Colors

Fall color palettes are all about earthy, grounded tones that create a cozy atmosphere. Swapping out a cool-toned wall or accent piece for a warmer hue is one of the easiest ways to get your home fall-ready.

Trending fall paint colors for 2025:

  • Terracotta and burnt sienna

  • Olive green and sage

  • Dusty rose and mauve

  • Soft beige, clay, and camel


🖌️ Tip: Paint an accent wall, fireplace surround, or even your front door for a quick, high-impact refresh.

🎨 Shop at Guiry’s: Explore Benjamin Moore’s fall color collection and grab peel-and-stick samples to test how each shade looks in your lighting.

2. Swap in Cozy Fall Area Rugs

 

As temperatures drop, rugs become essential for creating warmth and softness underfoot. They also add seasonal texture and color to your space.

Best rug styles for fall:

  • Oriental Weavers rugs in warm tones like navy, rust, plum, and ochre

  • Layered jute or wool rugs for texture

  • Vintage-inspired patterns that feel timeless and autumnal

🛋️ Design Tip: Layering a smaller patterned rug over a solid base adds depth and a designer touch to living rooms or bedrooms.

3. Add Seasonal Touches with DIY Fall Décor

Fall crafts and DIY décor make your home feel personalized and festive. They’re also a great way to use leftover paint or art supplies.

Creative fall DIY project ideas:

  • Painted pumpkin jars or candle holders using acrylics or POSCA paint pens

  • Watercolor fall quote art (great for entryways or desks)

  • Mini canvas gifts with fall motifs—leaves, acorns, or warm abstract patterns

  • Fall art journals or sketchbooks to inspire daily creativity

🎨 Shop Guiry’s Art Supplies: We carry everything from beginner watercolor kits to pro-grade acrylics, sketchpads, and brush sets.

4. Finish with Texture and Soft Lighting

Fall decorating is all about layering and mood. Pair your new paint color or rug with cozy textiles, soft lighting, and handmade touches.

Try this:

  • Add a plush throw blanket in fall tones

  • Create a DIY candle jar with your favorite quote

  • Style dried flowers in a painted vase

🖌️ Pro Tip from Guiry’s: Use soft, matte paint finishes and tactile rug textures to create a space that feels warm and lived-in all season long.

Getting your home ready for fall is easier than you think. Whether you’re switching to a cozy area rug, choosing a trending fall paint color, or crafting DIY décor, a few simple changes can transform your space into a warm, inviting haven for the season.
