Five Simple Things to Do This Fall for Your Home.

Fall is my favorite season, maybe because there is no fall in Bangkok where I grew up. I love to look at leaves changing colors, and it inspires me to make some changes in my home. So here are five simple things you can do this fall to spice up the interior of your home.

• Add some lights: Cleaning up or dusting off your light bulbs and fixtures which will brighten your room in this cloudy season. Better yet, add illuminated flower lights in the dark corner of your room to give it some romances.

• Change the rug: I look at the floor as my fifth wall. Changing the rug to an autumn color palette will certainly warm your space without a trip to the paint store.

•  New throw pillows: Simple and inexpensive ways to add some colors and comfort into your living room. Don’t be afraid to play with different sizes, colors and texture to add more interests.

•  Create focal points: Change the centerpiece or runner on your dining table, replace your summer decors with colorful vases on your kitchen counter top, bookshelves or mantel. Make sure to use warm colors to create a flow and continuity in your space.

•  Change your bedding: Even though you don’t usually invite your friends and family into your bedroom, you should do this for yourself (and your partner). Spicing it up by changing to new fall colorful bedding, will definitely create a warm, inviting feeling and a smile in your heart.
