Fall Decorating Trends
Create a Welcoming Entrance
Use a mix of chrysanthemums and pumpkins that extend from your front porch to create a welcoming entrance inviting visitors in. Use a mix of cinderella and heirloom pumpkins in all shapes, sizes, and colors to add dimension and visual interest. This year is all about the white pumpkin. Think about adding faux tea lights and lanterns to make your porch pop even after the sun sets.
Bring the Outside In
Take advantage of the changing season by decorating with branches, dried grasses, acorns, leaves, and pinecones. Fill vases with acorns to inspire a fall color pallet or add height and drama to a space by putting branches in a vases or baskets. Pinecones can be used as place card holders for your next party or scattered around your table with colorful leaves for an easy centerpiece.
Add Texture and Color
Orange, red, and yellow are the conventional colors of fall, but designers are increasingly turning to other nature-inspired hues to create refined fall color combinations. The color of the season is terracotta mixed with other warm, rich tones. Play with texture by adding blankets and seasonal pillows made of velvets and knits.
Set the Mood with Candles
Instantly make your home feel like fall by filling every room with the scents of cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin. Adding these spicy scents to your home can change the feel with little to no other decorating. Adding candles not only makes your home smell great, but it also creates a cozy ambiance when they are lit. If candles aren’t your thing, add a diffuser or cinnamon sticks.
Transform with Paint
Gather a bunch of mini pumpkins, whether real or faux and head to your local craft store. You can stick to a single color pallet or mix and match depending on your style. This can be done to add interest to your mantel, bring color to your coffee table or be the center of conversation on your dining table.
