As the season changes to fall, consider giving your home a autumn decor change to make it feel more warm and cozy. You might choose to add one or two items to usher in the fall season, or you might choose to go all out decorating for fall. Here are a few ideas for fall and autumn decorating in your home. Choose a Cozy Color PaletteThe first step in updating your decor for fall is selecting a warm and inviting color palette. Here are some color choices that can help set the autumn mood: Earth Tones: Consider adding rich earthy colors like deep reds, warm oranges, and rustic browns into your decor to mimic the changing leaves and create a cozy atmosphere. Warm Neutrals: Warm neutrals like creamy whites, soft grays, and beige balance out the vibrant fall hues. Plum and Eggplant: For a touch of elegance, add shades of plum and eggplant into your color scheme. These regal colors can add a sense of luxury to your fall decor. Hunter Green: Hunter green is a versatile color that can add depth to your decor. Camel and Rust: A rich camel yellow and a warm rust color are also popular fall colors. Warm Up Your Space with TextilesOne of the easiest ways to transition your home for fall is by changing your textiles. Swap out lightweight summer fabrics for cozy, autumn-inspired fabrics: Throw Blankets: Drape soft, chunky knit or faux fur throw blankets over your sofas and chairs in warm, autumn colors like burnt orange, deep red, or mustard yellow. Pillows: Update your throw pillows with fall-themed designs or those featuring the colors from your chosen palette. Mix and match textures like velvet, faux fur, and wool for added coziness. Consider selecting a tartan or plaid fabric #ad that lends itself to a fall decor style. Curtains: Consider replacing your sheer summer curtains with heavier, insulating drapes in fall colors or patterns. These not only add warmth but also help with energy efficiency. Area Rugs: Layer area rugs in your living spaces to create warmth and define areas. Look for rugs with deep, rich colors. Bring Nature IndoorsSince you will likely be spending more time indoors in the fall, consider adding some of the outdoors inside your home. Incorporate natural elements into your decor to capture the essence of the season: Decorative Branches: Collect branches, twigs, or even birch logs to create stunning decorative displays. Paint them in metallic tones for a more elegant glamorous look or leave them natural for an organic touch. Pumpkins and Gourds: A staple of fall decor, pumpkins and gourds #ad come in various shapes and colors. Arrange them in baskets, on mantels, or as centerpieces for an instant autumn vibe. You can choose authentic pumpkins and gourds or you can use faux if you prefer to reuse them for decorating next year. Fall Foliage: Bring the outdoors in with real or artificial fall foliage. Create wreaths, garlands, or table centerpieces with colorful leaves and branches. Make sure to buy the highest quality faux foliage that is within your budget so it looks more authentic. Pinecones and Acorns: Use bowls of pinecones and acorns throughout your decor. You can even spray paint them in metallics or fall colors for added flair. Nuts: You can use a bowl of nuts as decor but also as a snack, but make sure to include a nutcracker. Lighting for AmbianceAdjusting your lighting can significantly impact the ambiance of your home. Here's how to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for fall: Candles: Swap out brightly colored summer candles for warm, aromatic candles with scents like cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or apple pie. Place them in decorative candle holders for added charm. Make sure to avoid using scented candles in any area with food so it doesn't disturb the eating experience. String Lights: Hang string lights with warm, soft-glowing bulbs to create a cozy and casual atmosphere in any room. You can drape them along mantels, shelves, or around windows. Table Lamps: Choose table lamps with warm-toned lampshades to cast a gentle, inviting glow. Consider antique or vintage-style lamps for added character. Fireplace: If you have a fireplace, now is the perfect time to start using it. The crackling sound and the warm glow of a fire instantly make your space feel cozier. Make sure to have it inspected and cleaned prior to using it for the first time of the season. Accessorize ThoughtfullyAccessorizing is where you can have fun and get creative with your fall decor. Here are some ideas to consider: Seasonal Artwork: You can swap out your existing artwork with pieces that reflect the beauty of fall. Framed prints of autumn landscapes, harvest scenes, most anything with fall colors, or even botanical illustrations can add a seasonal touch. Tablescapes: Set your dining table with fall-themed tableware, including dishes, placemats, and napkins. Incorporate natural elements like leaves, flowers, pinecones, gourds, or small pumpkins as centerpieces. Fall-Themed Decor: Invest in or DIY craft fall-themed decor items like door wreaths. These pieces can be placed throughout your home to infuse it with autumn charm. Scented Diffusers: Use scented diffusers #ad with essential oil fall fragrances like apple cider, cedarwood, or cinnamon to enhance the overall sensory experience. Transitioning Outdoor SpacesDon't forget to update your outdoor spaces for fall too: Front Door Decor: Add a fall wreath to your front door and place pots of mums or ornamental kale on your porch for a welcoming entrance. You can line your front walkway with pumpkins or gourds for added drama. Patio and Garden: Swap out your summer patio furniture cushions for ones in fall colors. Consider adding outdoor heating elements like a fire pit or patio heater for chilly evenings. Outdoor Lighting: Since night comes earlier in the fall than the summer, hang string lights or lanterns to create a cozy outdoor ambiance for gatherings with family and friends that last into the evening. Maintain VersatilityAs you update your decor for fall, keep in mind that versatility is key. Many fall elements can be easily incorporated and then swapped out for winter decor when the time comes. This ensures that your home always feels fresh and seasonally appropriate.

Die Mission von GP JOULE ist die Sicherung der natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen zukünftiger Generationen durch die klimafreundliche Nutzung von 100% erneuerbaren Energien. Was 2009 eine Vision der beiden Gründer Ove Petersen und Heinrich Gärtner war, ist heute ein realistisches Ziel mit gleichermaßen idealistischem und wirtschaftlichem Potenzial. Erneuerbare Energien bieten eine hohe Autonomie für Verbraucher und werden kontinuierlich effizienter. GP JOULE ist in wenigen Jahren zu einem weltweit agierenden Unternehmen mit etwa 130 Mitarbeitern gewachsen, in einem Markt, der sein Potenzial gerade erst entdeckt. Die dafür vorausgesetzte Weitsicht spiegelt sich auch in der Firmenphilosophie wider und führt zu nachhaltigem Wachstum sowie dem Auf- und Ausbau von einzigartigem Spezialwissen. Auf der HANNOVER MESSE 2015 war GP JOULE auf 99 m² Standfläche vertreten. Unter dem Motto „TRUST YOUR ENERGY“ wurden Leistungen und Produkte des Unternehmens präsentiert. Im Mittelpunkt stand der von GP JOULE entwickelte PEM-Elektrolyse-Stack. Diese Technologie löst eines der größten Probleme der Energiewende, es ermöglicht das effiziente Speichern und Rückgewinnen von erzeugter Energie durch Wasserstoff. Energie wird zu Gas und Gas wieder zu Energie (Power-to-Gas-to-Power). Anhand eines Modells wurde der Prozess live auf dem Messestand demonstriert. Zum ersten Mal präsentierte sich GP JOULE auf einer Messe im neuen Corporate Design. Das Erscheinungsbild von GP JOULE zeichnet sich durch seinen persönlichen und dennoch klaren Stil aus und verdeutlicht ein Markenprofil, das vertrauensvoll, modern und seriös, eigenständig und innovativ, aktiv und zuverlässig ist. Die Aufmerksamkeit wird auf das neue Supersign gelegt, welches die Philosophie des Unternehmens verkörpert. Durch eine Kombination von Braun- und Grüntönen wird eine natürliche, warme Atmosphäre geschaffen. Die Architektur wirkt offen und einladend, bietet aber auch geschützte Bereiche für persönliche Gespräche.
This year we took a more relaxed approach to Christmas decorating. Instead of a front door garland, like last year, we opted for a wreath. We decorated every room in the house although lightly though. Small indoor planted Norfolk pine trees were displayed in the dining room and kitchen. While a bigger tree was decorated …
