Fall in Central Florida may not bring brisk air and changing leaves, but it’s a great season to cozy up your living space. Minor updates can add warmth and seasonal charm to your home as the days grow shorter.
At Westmont Custom Homes, we incorporate details that bring nature’s beauty indoors. Here are some of our favorite design ideas for getting cozy fall vibes into your custom home.
Bringing Nature’s Fall Colors Inside
Fall’s color palette—deep oranges, warm browns, olive greens, and earthy neutrals—instantly warms any room. Accent walls in rich hues, like terracotta or gold, provide a welcoming backdrop in a living room or bedroom, while custom cabinetry in shades of walnut or sage adds depth in kitchens and bathrooms.
Subtle pops of fall colors through textiles like pillows and throws also bring seasonal character. Imagine burnt orange throws on the sofa or olive green cushions, each adding texture and warmth. Westmont designs incorporate these subtle accents to make every room feel inviting and comfortable.
Designing with Cozy Materials and Textures
Textures can instantly make a space feel more welcoming. We love rich materials like reclaimed wood, leather, and brushed metals this season. Reclaimed wood beams in a kitchen or as a statement wall in the living room add character and warmth, while leather armchairs in deep browns create a cozy nook.
For elegance with a touch of shine, brushed metal fixtures—like brass or bronze in lighting or hardware—enhance warmth without overpowering a room. Westmont custom homes use high-quality materials strategically, creating a layered, timeless look.
Maximizing Natural Light and Scenic Views
Florida’s autumn sunlight is softer, which makes warm tones in a home feel even cozier. To maximize natural light, large windows and open floor plans are essential. Adding light-filtering curtains softens daylight and creates a gentle glow as the sun sets. Westmont places windows to capture scenic views of gardens or water features, connecting you to nature and enhancing the home’s welcoming feel.
Embracing Seasonal Décor & Practical Additions
Seasonal décor doesn’t need to overwhelm your space. Simple touches, like autumn leaf wreaths or dried flower centerpieces, add seasonal charm. In Florida’s mild climate, practical additions like fire pits or screened porches allow extended outdoor gatherings. Imagine evenings around a cozy fire pit with friends—perfect for fall.
Westmont homes are designed with spaces to add seasonal elements, like built-in shelves or cozy outdoor spaces. Swap out décor easily as the seasons change to keep your home looking fresh.
Preparing for Holiday Gatherings
Fall marks the start of the holiday season, making it the perfect time to focus on gathering spaces. Westmont custom homes include open kitchens with large counters or islands, which are ideal for meal prep and socializing. Dining rooms with warm lighting and comfortable seating create spaces for memorable holiday meals.
Consider custom features like built-in wine racks, extra serving storage, or cozy seating nooks. Westmont’s flexible layouts make hosting intimate family dinners and more significant celebrations easy, keeping spaces functional and inviting.
