Because the cool fall air is settling in. So clearly those warm summer days quickly are becoming a distant memory. Therefore, homeowners start looking for simple ways to bring warmth and comfort back inside. Fortunately, a seasonal [home makeover doesn’t require a complete](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/06/brian-ching-completes-campaign-to-build-a-green-upgraded-home-for-a-houston-family/) redesign. Instead, start with color and texture. Add warm earth tones, [soft neutrals and natural shades](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/08/hunter-douglas-solera-soft-shades/) inspired by autumn. Then, replace lightweight summer fabrics with heavier, softer materials. For example, layer organic cotton blankets, textured throws and comfortable bedding throughout the bedroom. Similarly, add extra pillows and natural [fabrics to create](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/11/seat-fabric-in-all-new-ford-focus-electric-uses-waste-to-create-a-better-world/) a warmer look. Laura Jo Wegman, Design Director for [Coyuchi](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/05/last-minute-mothers-day-gifts-organic-luxury/), recommends this seasonal approach. Coyuchi helped pioneer organic cotton bedding in the U.S. Consequently, the company has long connected comfortable [home design with more sustainable](https://greenlivingguy.com/2025/11/sustainable-container-home-design-eco-friendly-living-solutions/) materials. Moreover, organic cotton can bring natural softness into the home without sacrificing style. Layering also makes a major difference. Therefore, instead of completely replacing your bedding, add warmer pieces as temperatures drop. Meanwhile, don’t forget the rest of the room. [Bring in natural](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/09/biophilic-office-design-bringing-nature-into-the-workplace/) wood, woven textures and autumn-inspired accessories. In addition, use warmer [lighting to create](https://greenlivingguy.com/2024/10/solar-garden-lighting-creating-an-enchanting-nighttime-oasis/) a more relaxing atmosphere as daylight hours get shorter. Ultimately, a fall home makeover can stay simple. Change the colors. Layer the fabrics. Add texture. Bring nature inside. As a result, your home can feel warmer, more inviting and ready for the colder months ahead. ## Fall Green Home Makeover 1) Switch up the Sheets: Swap out cool, white sheeting with warm fall tones for a pop of color. Coyuchi’s new cotton/linen sheeting is a perfect fabric for fall – they sleep much [warmer than cotton](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/10/cruelty-free-green-ways-to-stay-warmer-this-winter/) due to the linen woven in – perfect for cooler nights! ### Fall Green Home Makeover 2) **Throw Blankets Everywhere!**: Cold evenings call for curling up under a soft, warm throw on the couch. Throw blankets are the fastest way to update you [style for the season while also keeping](https://greenlivingguy.com/2012/11/election-day-aiming-message-heard-about-sustainable-efficient-energy-solutions-usa-style-plus-keep-green-jobs-coming/) you cozy.
