When the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home with cozy updates. From ceiling fans that keep your spaces comfortable to lighting fixtures that set the mood, Hunter makes it easy to bring autumn charm indoors and outdoors. Here are 10 fall refresh ideas, combining seasonal styling tips with Hunter’s most popular fans and lights.
1. Make a Statement with a Fandelier (Ceiling Fan + Chandelier)
The Brookside Jasmine Roth Indoor Fandelier with LED Light (30-inch, with remote) is one of the best ways to refresh your living space this fall. This fandelier blends style and function with its chandelier-inspired design and enclosed fan. Perfect for cozy gatherings, it delivers warm light and gentle airflow in one.
2. Swap Out Bulbs for Warm White Lighting
Even without new fixtures, changing your bulbs to warm white or amber LEDs (2700K–3000K) makes your home instantly feel more autumn-ready. It’s a quick fall lighting idea that enhances coziness and pairs beautifully with Hunter’s sconces and pendants.
3. Add Soft Accent Lighting with Wall Sconces
The Erling 2-Light Medium 10-Inch Sconce is a versatile lighting fixture for bedrooms, hallways, or entryways. With its luxe finishes and dome-shaped shades, this wall sconce brings a soft glow that highlights your fall décor while adding depth to your walls.
4. Layer Natural Textures and Earth Tones
Fall is all about cozy layers. Add woven baskets, chunky throws, and pillows in shades of rust, forest green, and mustard. These textures complement Hunter’s wood-tone fan blades and warm lighting finishes like Luxe Gold or Matte Black.
5. Brighten Entryways & Kitchens with a Pendant Light
The Sunset Ridge LED Large 18-Inch Pendant is a perfect choice for fall. This pendant light brings both functionality and seasonal style with its warm LED illumination. Hang it in your kitchen, dining room, or foyer to welcome guests with a golden autumn glow.
6. Spotlight Your Seasonal Decor
Make your pumpkins, wreaths, or mantel displays shine with accent lighting. Use sconces, pendants, or even ceiling fan lights to draw attention to these fall favorites, making them focal points in your home.
7. Save Energy This Fall with the Casablanca Melia Ceiling Fan
The Casablanca Melia ENERGY STAR® DC Ceiling Fan with LED Light (65-inch) is designed for powerful airflow and long-term efficiency. Its ENERGY STAR® rating means it uses advanced DC motor technology to deliver superior performance while consuming less energy.

8. Create Cozy Reading Corners
Design a small fall retreat with a comfy chair, plaid throw blanket, and side table. Add a floor or table lamp for layered lighting. This cozy corner becomes the perfect spot to sip cider and unwind.
9. Upgrade Your Garage with the Universal Mounting System
Transform your garage into a wellness studio or home gym this fall with the Universal Mounting System (Wet-Rated). This versatile mounting solution makes it easy to install a ceiling fan securely, even in challenging spaces like garage ceilings. By ensuring proper placement and stability, it helps create a comfortable, well-ventilated environment so you can focus on fitness and wellness while enjoying fresh airflow all season long.
10. Refresh Your Entryway with Seasonal Touches
Welcome guests with a mix of cozy lighting fixtures and seasonal accents. A pendant or sconce paired with pumpkins, wreaths, and a textured rug makes your entryway a warm first impression for fall.
🍂 Ceiling Fan & Lighting FAQs
1. Which way should a ceiling fan spin in the fall?
In fall and winter, set your ceiling fan direction clockwise at low speed. This gently pushes warm air down from the ceiling without creating a draft, keeping rooms comfortable and reducing heating costs.
2. How do I reverse a Hunter ceiling fan?
Most Hunter ceiling fans have a reverse switch on the fan motor housing or a button on the remote. For smart fans, you can also reverse direction through the Hunter app.
3. Do ceiling fans save energy in the cooler months?
Yes! Running ceiling fans in fall and winter helps circulate warm air, reducing the strain on your heating system. This can save energy and lower utility bills.
4. Can outdoor ceiling fans be used in fall?
Absolutely. Outdoor-rated fans like the Skyflow and Casablanca Melia are designed to withstand weather and extend your patio season. Pair them with blankets and lanterns for a cozy outdoor lounge.
5. What’s the best lighting color temperature for fall?
Choose warm white LED bulbs (2700K–3000K) for a golden glow that matches the cozy feeling of fall. They work beautifully in pendants like the Sunset Ridge or sconces like the Erling.
