Fall-ify Your Apartment for a New Look


Summer has come to an end, and fall is here. If you really love summers here at The Arbors Apartments (we do have three pools), then you’re probably sad to say goodbye to the warmer weather.

But the coming of fall can be a great excuse to redecorate, and what better theme than fall? Even if you don’t like fall weather, who can resist those classic autumn auburns, oranges, browns, and yellows? If your apartment needs a fresh start this fall, we’ve put together some ideas, courtesy of Bond Magazine, to help fall-ify your apartment.

Among Bond Magazine’s tips, were:
  • Interesting decorative pillows made from colorful scarves: Scarves in gorgeous, fun, Fall prints make for an affordable fabric choice when it comes to toss pillows.
  • Used books with colorful hard covers or wrapped in decorative paper: Covering hardcover books with beautiful printed or decorative patterned paper is a great way to display books and incorporate a decorative element into your Fall décor at the same time. The idea behind this tip is to use old books as a decorative item.
  • Decorating with fruit – fruit placed in long tall vases: I really love working with lemons, and limes, placing them in tall cylindrical vases. I also like using tall long vases and placing baby apples in them. Using fruits and vegetables in your Fall décor is a wonderful way to incorporate the “Fruits of Fall”.
  • Potted succulents instead of plants or flowers: Although Fall is typically a season for leaves and foliage, why not use potted succulents instead! Succulents are quite hardy, I especially love them because they last a long time and don’t require a lot of care. Succulents are not only beautiful but they look fabulous in everything from rubbed terra cotta pots to glass vessels filled with stones and moss.
