Swap out Pillows and Linens

I love the idea of incorporating whites, golds, neutrals, or even silvers. You can also switch out tea towels in the kitchen for something with more of a winter vibe. If you're into neutral hues go for a stark white or warm tones, or, go for a deep red or green, like our Margaret Pillow.

Trade sheets, rugs, throw pillows, and curtains in heavy materials like wool for lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen. Brighten up your space with greenery like wreaths, garlands, swags, and potted foliage. For long-lasting pieces that look fresh all year round, opt for Artificial Foliage.

As a general rule of thumb for seasonal decor for Spring/Summer, Fall, Winter, switch the decor when the weather starts to change. If we're talking about holiday decor, add in your holiday decor about two to four weeks before a holiday. This depends on the holiday's importance, but is a good place to start.

Whether you're changing your interior or exterior decor, you can hang fall decor as early as late August and throughout the holiday season. The best option is to put up fall decor in September or October, once the weather starts changing.

Pumpkins, gourds, autumn foliage, and pinecones are a handful of popular themes that can serve as inspiration. You can mix all of these elements together across your mantle or you can stagger them artfully down your front steps. You can make a fall wreath out of miniature pumpkins.

Vernal equinox(about March 21): day and night of equal length, marking the start of spring. Summer solstice (June 20 or 21): longest day of the year, marking the start of summer. Autumnal equinox(about September 23): day and night of equal length, marking the start of autumn.

While there's no established time to start decorating for the 4^th of July—after all, the American flag looks good all year round—as the weather gets hot and spring turns into summer, there's really no better time to start getting out your red, white and blue décor.

As temperatures rise in early to mid-June, it's time to transition from spring to summer home décor.

Is the end of August too early to decorate for fall? ›

First, you could start the interior fall decorating as early as late August. Back to school season is the unofficial official start to fall, so that's a safe bet. Then, you can break out the exterior fall décor a little later in September when Halloween is around the corner.

Autumn is the time to gather inward, to nurture and support your body and slow down in readiness for the stillness of winter. Allow time for inner reflection to develop awareness, so you understand what is no longer serving you.

Wreaths and Garlands: Hang fall-inspired wreaths and garlands featuring colorful leaves, pinecones, and berries. Keep the glitz and glamour off the tree until after Thanksgiving. Then add small Christmas elements like mini ornaments or lights to gradually transition to a full-fledged Christmas look.

November 1st: Thanksgiving

It's generally agreed that people use black Friday – the day after Thanksgiving – to decorate for the winter holidays.
