Fall Tip #3: Create a gathering space to keep the look and feel of autumn in sight on a daily basis.

The Gathering Space

Next: Vases Full of Fall

This living room is already filled with warm colors, so it's important to add some fall-inspired accessories in accent colors that will compliment the existing walls and furniture. A few simple pillow covers can turn a silk summer pillow into a beautiful rich tapestry pillow. If you're using brushed fringe, pull the string that holds the fringe together out and fluff the fringe with your blow dryer. Add some birch branches above the fireplace and leaves to bookshelves to continue the fall theme.

Next: Contemporary Bookcase

Create an arrangement for the coffee table with a variety of vases filled with different fall-inspired items, like pistachio nuts, pine cones, candy corn and dried leaves. To help the arrangement stand out, tie three napkins together to form a runner.
