As the crisp autumn air begins to replace the summer heat, there is something refreshing about fall that makes us want to cozy up in our homes. Here's why adding those cute pumpkins and plaid throws might just make you a happier person. Don't we all just need a little more happy in our lives?

Fall is about change--the leaves, the weather and our routines. We are spending less time outside and more time inside. By decorating your home, you are embracing the shift. This helps create harmony between your living space and the world. I dream of a world full of harmony... well since that probs won't happen, at least I will have harmony in my house! Bringing in warm colors, soft textures and and inviting scents can make your home feel like your sanctuary. This coziness provides comfort and security which are both mood boosters. Add a little pumpkin spice creamer to my coffee while admiring that adorable little pumpkin sitting there is just sanctuary city for me my friends!
Decorating allows you to flex your creative muscles. Whether you are arranging a perfect pumpkin display or finding the ideal spot for that pumpkin chai candle, these small acts of creativity can be extremely satisfying. Decorating is therapy for me, much cheaper than actual "tell me how you are really feeling today" therapy, right? It's all about the bottom line here folks!

​Who doesn't think of past memories when decorating for fall? Carving pumpkins as a kid, raking leaves with family or that first sip of fresh apple cider all bring those nostalgic moments to mind. These moments are like a warm hug for your brain, triggering happy feelings and a sense of continuity. Finally, decorating for fall often means getting together with family or friends, whether it is to set up a Halloween display, carve pumpkins or plan a Thanksgiving feast. Social interaction is key to feeling good. So the next time you are hesitating over whether to buy that adorable pumpkin pillow or string of fairy lights that will just make your mantle pop, go for it. Not only will it make your home look festive, it will lift your spirits and you will feel more content as you enjoy the beauty of fall.
