Top 5 Autumn Decorating Ideas

The change in season brings about chilly temperatures, but that doesn’t mean your home décor has to be. Decorate your home with autumn colors such as rich shades of reds, yellows, oranges, browns and greens which add a cheery yet cozy atmosphere to your space.

A Wreath

A handcrafted wreath, like the yarn wreath pictured, are really trendy this fall. In addition to being fun to create, they greet your guests in style. If yarn wreaths aren’t your thing, try a wreath covered in berries or a full ornament wreath.

Pumpkins Galore

During the fall season pumpkins are all over the place. You’ll see them in home décor, scents and food items. In your décor, use a variety of pumpkin sizes and place them around your house or have a collection placed in the front foyer. However you choose to use them, they are a MUST for decorating your home this fall!

Kiss the Chef

Fall is a great time to break out the seasonal recipes (old or new) and bring your family and guests together. You can even go the extra mile and make the food decorative as well; such as Mini Pumpkin Cakes, or Pumpkin Casseroles, making your feast truly festive for autumn!

Smells Good

When you or a guest arrives in your home, you want it to be warm and inviting. Using fragrant, colorful candles of different shapes and sizes, will help you attain the friendly environment you want while also adding an extra flare for decoration. The photographed cinnamon stick candle centerpiece is beautiful and creates a wonderful smell to your home. (Please make sure you don’t leave burning candles unattended)

Centerpiece

The holidays present plenty of opportunities for feasting; as such, the centerpiece of your table needs to be perfect. Whether your table is adjourned with flowers in a gorgeous vase, apples in a basket surrounded by leaves or a candles surrounded by cinnamon sticks, having a stunning centerpiece is essential for the final touch for your fall entertaining activities.
