We tend to think of fall decorating in terms of pumpkins, wreaths and a bowl of apples on the kitchen counter. But some of the details that create that warm, collected feeling are already part of the room: the windows.
The way natural light filters through a woven shade can make a breakfast nook feel relaxed and inviting. Wood blinds can bring warmth and texture to a room, while plantation shutters have a timeless quality that feels right at home with traditional Southern architecture. Drapery can soften a space and add just enough pattern or color to make a room feel ready for guests.
Even from the outside, window coverings can change the feeling of a home. Shutters can add symmetry, character and a finished look to a front porch or façade, complementing everything from classic brick to more casual cottage styles.
It is less about decorating for a season and more about creating a feeling: warm light in the late afternoon, windows that frame the changing leaves and rooms that make people want to linger a little longer.
This fall, before adding another pumpkin to the porch, take a look at the windows. They may be one of the easiest ways to set the scene for the season.
If your windows are still waiting for their fall moment, give Matt and Becca Jones at Budget Blinds of Auburn & Lake Martin a call. As Auburn graduates and local residents, the Joneses understand that a home’s windows should feel like part of the home, not an afterthought.
Serving Auburn and the surrounding Lake Martin area, their team offers a complimentary in-home consultation, bringing samples, fabrics and styles directly to you to help find window coverings that fit your home, your style, and the way you live.
After all, setting the mood for fall may start with the way you frame it.
