In keeping with the Fall theme this week (since you know how much I love Fall!), I thought I’d share a little about decorating your home for Fall. I like to keep my Fall decor really simple. Here are my tips for simple ways to add a splash of Fall into your home!
First, add small pops of color. In my kitchen, I already have a plant and sign on a wooden cutting board. To bring a little touch of Fall into the space, it’s as simple as just adding a bright orange pumpkin. It gives a little, subtle color. This pumpkin happens to be a plate and bowl, so it’s handy for Fall entertaining!
For my coffee table, I want something with a little color, but that has a low profile and won’t take up too much space. Oh, and it has to be kid-proof. Noah likes to play at the coffee table, so I don’t want to have to constantly move something up and out of his way. Here’s what I came up with for my coffee table!
To switch it up and add more color, I can easily sub in a live mum plant. Get creative and use something with your favorite Fall colors! Real pumpkins (white or orange) would also be beautiful. I originally had white pumpkins in this basket, but within minutes of Noah noticing them, I realized I would soon have smashed pumpkin all over my rug. Hence the stick pumpkins!
My second tip for decorating for the Fall season is to make it cozy! I love to put my favorite super soft blanket under the coffee table. It makes it look cozy and is always within reach from the couch for chilly nights! There’s really nothing better in the Fall than snuggling up with a hot drink and a cozy blanket!
My third tip for decorating for Fall is to keep it neutral….kind of. Using a neutral palette with just one pop of color makes for a clean look. For my fireplace mantle, I kept everything a cream tone and only used color in the leaves. It makes the leaves really pop and prevents the mantle from looking cluttered.
My fourth tip for decorating for Fall is swap out, don’t add! For every Fall decoration that you bring out, take something existing down. For example, the pumpkin in my kitchen replaced a white flowering plant that used to be in that spot. The centerpiece on my coffee table replaced the stack of magazines that had been there. I also did a simple pillow swap in the basket by the fireplace by putting in a pumpkin pillow.
