Fall is a time of change not only in the seasons but in our homes. You begin to think of Halloween and Thanksgiving as soon as the first leaves change to gold and auburn, and the first crisp cool mornings greet you as you send the kids off to school wearing jackets for the first time this year. Plans are made to begin the preparations' for the Holiday Season, beginning with decorating our homes to match the changes seen in nature.
Using fall colors and textures are a way to blend the beauty seen outdoors with the ideal dcor for inside our homes. From last season we have the traditional selections of faux pumpkins, gourds, and cornucopias that represent the holidays, and even linens in hues of earthy browns and greens, with a touch of orange and rusty reds. Looking them over you may notice that you always use them in the same way, perhaps it is time for a change this year; there are other possible ways to decorate using the materials at hand for a new take on an old tradition. Here are a few ideas to get you started;
Beginning with what others see is a way to display the pride you have in your homes appearance. Changing the faade of your home for the fall season is done easily using Mother Natures provisions, and a touch of creativity. Harvest season provides an abundance of rich bold colors and textures that are never subtle in their declarations of change, so use that statement as your focal point. Place an outdoor rug beneath your front door with a bold harvest season print, and draw inspiration from its beauty and message. Mimic the traditional scenes of stacks of raffia tied wheat, bales of straw, and bundles of colorful fountain grass to create a venue of bounty and color. Add a few smooth pumpkins and nubby gourds for texture, and the scene from the street will be a perfect rendition of a fall painting.
One of the best ways to attract attention in a room is to have a beautiful centerpiece that can be placed on a table in the room. For the living room, it can be the coffee table. For the dining room, your centerpiece can go on the table or on the buffet. In the bedroom, you can place the decor centerpiece on top of a dresser or on the nightstand.
You can make your centerpiece yourself using the decorations you already have but arranging them so they build up a particular area. You want to use all the colors of fall that you can in order to create this look. Sit a pumpkin down in the middle of the decor and pile different color leaves around it. Use orange tea light candles in the home
Hang a wreath
A wreath was once hard to get a hold of and when you did, they were expensive but today, you can make your own wreath using different material and make it for a fraction of the price. You can start gathering fall items around the stores or in your own back yard. Twigs, acorns, and different colored leaves are just a few of the many different items you can use in your wreath. You can make it out of straw and wrap a ribbon around it or you can use artificial flowers, like mums. These are absolutely beautiful during the fall season. They come in an array of colors ad look great in barrels, baskets, or wreaths.
Mantle Decor
In the dining room, a large area rug with a fall motif can be the framework for your fall table settings. Using earth toned table linens you can create the perfect setting for the traditional overflowing cornucopia and the bounty your family has to be thankful for.
Bringing fall into the home is easily done using warm colored Flokati rugs, fall leaves, and other widely available natural elements provided by nature. Decorate your home this season by taking cues from Mother Nature.
