2. Accent pillows

An easy-on-the-budget way to update any decor is the use of toss pillows. It's also an ideal way to infuse a trend without replacing key pieces.

3. Lighting

If you want to make an impact and change the look and mood in your home, an investment in new lighting can make a big difference. Perhaps you need more light than you did in the past?

Tasks are easier on the eyes when you change the bulb of a light fixture.

4. Accent chairs or dining chairs

An easy way to update your dining room for the holiday season is to replace your two-arm chair with upholstery fabric or leather chairs. Consider options that can provide extra seating for guest but can be used in any room in your house.

5. Decorate accents

Add some vibe to your home with interesting accent pieces, especially gold and silver for the festive holidays.

I like to give my home a Mini Home Makeover twice (or more...) a year with easy-to-change-up items that make a big impact. How about you? Do you change your home decor with the seasons?

Happy Fall!
