When Jeremiah Brent says it is 'time for an Autumn refresh', we listen – these are the easy fall swaps he recommends making in your home

There's something so charming about restyling your home for a new season – particularly fall, with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas on the horizon and plenty of inspiration to be taken from nature outdoors. But rest assured: this doesn't need to be a big undertaking.

For interior designer and Queer Eye star Jeremiah Brent, the transition into the cozy season is the perfect excuse for a little at-home refresh. 'I get a lot of questions about seasons and how you can shift your space and the energy in your home,' says Jeremiah in a recent video shared to his Instagram.

So, what are those little switches he speaks of? Here are Jeremiah Brent's easy fall decor ideas he recommends to help you shift your home from season to season. Cocoa at the ready!

'Fall is hands down one of my favorite seasons,' says Jeremiah. 'I love the crisp air, I love the layers – and so with your home, I think it's really great to do little things to change the space to make it feel different,' he explains.

For an autumnal refresh, there are a few seasonal switches you can make that don't require a big investment of time or budget – like styling a credenza or embracing fall front door decor with this year's fall trends.

Beloved designer, Jeremiah likes to lean into the changing weather by changing up his home with these 3 easy tips. Here's what he had to say.

1. Rearrange and repurpose

'Shift things around in your home,' Jeremiah advises in the video, where he suggests curating your art for fall.

Look to shop your own home to avoid needing to purchase anything new. Rearrange art from other rooms in your home and repurpose them somewhere new. Perhaps a gallery wall feels a bit outdated, so you could break it down and use the individual works of art to create new, dynamic vignettes in different spaces.

The same can be said for larger pieces. Take the cozy rug from your bedroom and try it out in the living room if the colors work to add a nod to the fall season. Drag an armchair closer to the fire and add a side table to create a cozy cafe corner. While small decor items like foliage and gourds can be scattered throughout the home to bring some new season cheer.

2. Soften the lighting

An often overlooked seasonal swap is lighting ideas. We're sure you're already leaning in with a few fall-scented candles that give off a warming, soft glow but Jeremiah wants you to take that one step further.

'Change the lighting,' he suggests. 'Play around with different levels and bring in a lower wattage for a little bit more moody experience.'

The simplest and most effective approach to a well-lit space is to work with different levels to create a layered lighting effect. This means employing ceiling lights (yes, even the big light is welcome in winter), wall sconces, standing floor lamps, table lamps, and candlelight to make your living room cozy with lighting.

3. Bundle up

If you're looking for some fall bedroom decor to make your bedroom cozy for fall, or are after some ideas to make your living room more inviting, you're going to want to bundle up.

What do we mean by that? 'Bring out those chunky pillows, heavier fabrics, wools, herringbone, all those things that really feel seasonal,' Jeremiah explains.

Textiles and textures are the ultimate comforting addition to your relaxation spaces. New throw pillows in fluffier fabrics, heavy throw blankets, a thicker rug, and even flowing drapes are great ways to cocoon a space in comfort and make you feel like you've been enveloped in a giant hug. And relax.

Sometimes all your home requires is a few tiny details to shift for it to feel refreshed and renewed for the new season. So dim down your lights, hunker down under a few more blankets, and see what you can reuse from your own space to really make a change this fall.
