Avoid three common fall decorating mistakes: undersized rugs, over-shiny finishes, and bare windows. Small rugs fail to anchor furniture properly; shiny chrome clashes with fall’s cozy metallic trends; and bare windows miss opportunities to soften light and add texture. Instead, choose large, warm-toned rugs, aged brass or matte metals, and layered window treatments like terracotta drapery or natural weaves. These choices help your home fully embrace fall 2025’s grounded and personal design essence.
