Preparing for fall
 
While it’s still warm outside, it’s hard to believe that fall is just around the corner. Preparing your home with colors of the autumn season doesn’t have to be difficult – or expensive. With a few small, easy-to-manage touches, your home can feel like fall in no time.
 
What comes to mind for you when you think of fall? Bright, beautiful foliage and cool breezes? Pumpkins and pomegranates?  Football games and state fairs?
 
It means many different things to many people, but one thing is for certain – it means color!  From spicy reds and burnt almond to silver, mocha, and the always-popular chocolate brown, these warm colors bring a strong sense of the change of seasons.  Some of the best ways to reflect these colors of the new season are also among the easiest.
 
A simple change in the color of candles can make quite an impact in a room. Postcard from Paris features a selection of candles from wonderfully unique Vance Kitera – pillars and tapers to votives and goblets in a wide variety of styles and colors to fit most any taste and any season.  Whether grouped for drama in the living room, paired in candlesticks on the dining table, or clustered in glass votives on the mantel, candles add elegance and ambiance. And Postcard from Paris can help you select the ideal candelabra, wooden base, or candlesticks with wonderful patina.

Changing out fabrics or colors in your home is another affordable way to give your home a fresh, seasonal feel. Whether you choose slip covers on your sofa or select a new fabric for your living room chairs, such a change can dramatically impact the tone of your home, bringing warmth and richness to a room.  As the temperatures cool, consider different fabrics, perhaps those that are a little heavier – a warm chenille, a luxurious velvet or suede, or the always-reliable cotton blend in earth tones that reflect nature’s colors of fall. Postcard from Paris has access to a wide range of fine fabrics, including organic lines.
 
Dress your sofa in soft pillows of browns and tans or rich vineyard colors along with a comfortable throw in a contrasting color to create a cozy retreat for those shorter days and cooler nights. Add layers of blankets in fall-inspired colors to your bedrooms to set the mood.
 
Make your rooms a bit more intimate by rearranging furniture, moving it away from drafty areas and closer to the fireplace.  Then start a fire, grab some hot chocolate, and enjoy…
