Layer Light Linen Curtains Under Brocade or Velvet Drapes

written by Elizabeth Burton

Some summer pieces easily transition from summer to fall, either as-is or repurposed in another form. For example, gauzy cotton or Belgian flax linen curtains can transition from stand-alone pieces into the underlayer beneath velvet or a brocade, providing much-needed dimension while protecting one’s home from drafts. Layering beige or white roller blinds under heavier curtains or a sculptural valance is another way to add the textures, tones and warmth of fall to your summer decor.

Likewise, furniture upholstered in tones of the soft color palette common to spring and summer can transition easily to fall if you choose a heartier fabric for the upholstery. For instance, blush-toned velvet and light suede both work perfectly well for autumn — particularly when augmented with chunky knit blankets and throw pillows. To create a seamless summer-to-fall interior, we suggest the Leon Sofa in Mink Velvet from One Kings Lane and the Devers Velvet Chair in Stax Blush Rosa from AllModern.
