DECORATING FOR FALL thru THANKSGIVING I LOVE THE COLORS OF FALL
You can create a warm, inviting atmosphere in your home. Here are some ideas to get you started:
And a picture of my own Front Porch I hope it inspires you -
1. Color Palette
Use warm tones like oranges, browns, yellows, and deep reds. Consider incorporating gold or copper for a touch of elegance.
2. Natural Elements
Pumpkins: Arrange various sizes and colors on your porch or as a centerpiece, I LIKE THE STACKED PUMPKIN LOOK
Leaves: Use real or faux leaves in wreaths, garlands, or table settings.
Acorns and Pinecones: Scatter these around your decor for a rustic touch.
3. Textiles
Swap out summer throw pillows for ones in fall colors or with seasonal patterns (like plaid).
Add cozy blankets to your couches and chairs.
4. Centerpieces
Create a table centerpiece with a mix of pumpkins, candles, and seasonal flowers like mums or sunflowers.
Use a wooden tray to organize candles and small decor items.
5. Wreaths - I LOVE PUTTING UP A SEASONAL WELCOME WREATH
Hang a fall-themed wreath on your front door or inside your home. Consider one made from dried flowers, leaves, or even a mix of faux and natural elements.
6. Candles and Lighting
Use candles in autumn scents (like pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon) to enhance the atmosphere.
String lights or lanterns can add a warm glow, perfect for evening gatherings.
7. Seasonal Artwork
Swap out art or prints for pieces that reflect the fall season, such as landscapes with autumn foliage.
8. Kitchen Decor
Display seasonal fruits like apples or pears in a bowl.
Use fall-themed dish towels and table runners.
9. Outdoor Decor
Arrange, scarecrows, or seasonal signs in your yard.
TIP: DO NOT USE HAY BALES THEY CAN ATTRACT MICE AND RATS.
Add lanterns or pathway lights to illuminate your outdoor space.
10. Personal Touches
Incorporate items that reflect your family traditions, like a favorite recipe displayed or family photos in autumn settings.
Mix and match these ideas to create a FALL atmosphere that feels cozy and inviting!
