Transitioning Your Office Space for Fall: Simple Tips to Embrace the Season

Sep 3, 2024by Jennifer Luna

As the crisp air and vibrant colors of fall start to settle in, there’s no better time to refresh your workspace with a touch of autumn. Whether you’re working from home or in an office, creating a cozy and inspiring environment can help boost your productivity and bring a sense of warmth to your daily routine. Here are some simple tips to help you transition your office space for the fall season.

1. Incorporate Warm Colors

Fall is all about rich, warm hues. Consider adding a few accessories in shades of deep orange, burgundy, mustard yellow, and earthy browns. A few Boucle Velvet Pumpkins can instantly transform the look and feel of your workspace.

2. Switch Up Your Stationery

Swap out your summer-themed stationery for fall-inspired designs. Upgrade your workspace with the Grateful Harvest Market Pad, perfect for jotting down your grocery needs or to-do lists or quick notes. Want extra credit? Swap out your pen for Ferris Wheel Press's "Hearty Harvest" Carousel Fountain Pen with matching Hearty Harvest Ink. (The ink bottle alone is top-notch fall desk decor!)

3. Add Seasonal Scents

Nothing says fall quite like the comforting aroma of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, or apple cider. Consider adding a Pumpkin Spice Candle from local maker Wax & Wool, for example, to your desk. Not only will it make your workspace smell amazing, but it’ll also create a soothing atmosphere that’s perfect for staying focused.

4. Bring in Natural Elements

Incorporate a touch of nature by adding a small plant or a vase filled with fall foliage. The Pine Wood Mushroom Garland is a great way to bring the outdoors inside, adding a warm, rustic touch to your space.

5. Update Your Wall Art

If you have wall space in your office, consider switching out your current artwork for something more fall-themed. The Northwest Hills Art Print by local artist Michele Maule features a beautiful, seasonal design that can help set the autumn mood.

6. Create a Cozy Corner

If your space allows, set up a cozy corner where you can take breaks or enjoy a cup of tea. A comfortable chair, a soft throw blanket, and a stack of your favorite fall reads can turn any corner into a little retreat within your workspace. The Rifle Paper Co. Garden Party Fleece Blanket is perfect for adding a pop of fall color to your cozy corner.

7. Personalize with Fall-Themed Desk Accessories

Add a few seasonal touches to your desk with fall-themed accessories. Think about the Arbor Enameled Tray, perfect for holding small office supplies or just adding a festive touch to your desk.

By incorporating these simple touches, you can create a workspace that not only feels fresh and inviting but also reflects the beauty of the fall season.
