Decorating Ideas for Fall
Can’t decide on how to decorate your home for fall? Take a look at our top 5 decorating tips to get some ideas on how to change things up this fall.
Create a Welcoming Entrance
When decorating your front porch or front steps for the fall, chrysanthemums and pumpkins are always a winner. When decorating with pumpkins, whether they are real or fake, make sure to include a variety of sizes, and use a mix of cinderella and heirloom pumpkins. Layer in faux tealights and lanterns to add dimension at night, you can also scatter fall leaves or corn husks around the pumpkins and flowers.
Add Warmth to Your Home
Decorating for fall is all about bringing the colors and warmth of the season into your home. Colors such as burgundy, rusty red, plum, deep greens, mustard and bronze are a nod to the changing colors outside.
Start by switching out summery throw pillows for ones with richer colors and more texture. Add throw blankets to your couch for family members to easily cozy up.
Bring in Candles and Scents
Nothing says fall like the smell of apple or pumpkin spice. Bringing in candles or diffusers with these warm spicy scents to every room and they will instantly transform your home for the season, making it feel cozy and inviting, even if you've done minimal decorating elsewhere.
Bring the Outdoors In
Bring the outdoors in - use branches or clippings from your yard. Think about using pinecones as decorative accents or place card holders when you have people over for dinner. Think about filling vases with pinecones, acorns, branches or different colored leaves to instantly transform your space. You can also use cross sections from a tree as chargers under your regular dishware.
Add Color to Your Pumpkins
A simple DIY can go a long way. Gather a mix of matte and gloss paint finished from your local craft store to change up real or faux gourds around your home this fall. Take inspiration from your favorite throw pillow or dishware to create a color theme that can go anywhere in your home, from the coffee table to the dining table and beyond. This cheap and easy decorating idea will surly bring you a ton of compliments.
