Deyette said creating a warm, cozy and inviting atmosphere indoors changes your mood.

“It’s the same thing with the holidays. I’m all about getting a wreath on the door or getting a tree. Even if it’s still 80 degrees in the daytime, a little tree or wreath on the door changes our mood. It makes things more festive,” she said.

“The number one thing to change from spring or summer to fall is color,” said Phil Tracey, style expert for HomeGoods.

While pumpkin and dark green are obvious colors, Tracey said he also likes to incorporate unique and vibrant colors. This year chartreuse and fuchsia are his colors of choice.

“These two colors easily coordinate with other colors in the home,” he said suggesting they be used on pillows, decorative accessories and accent chairs.

“Accent chairs are big this season. We’re not going out and buying a new settee or a sofa set. We’re just getting one chair or a chair and an ottoman,” he said citing the economy as a factor in people’s decorating decisions.

Deyette said the furniture’s look also can be changed for the season with decorative pillows and throws.

“Obviously you won’t swap out your furniture, but you can swap out pillows and cotton throws. In the fall or winter instead of using cotton, use chenille or a faux fur.”
