Autumn decoration should add harmony and warmth to your home, rather than stressing you with a long list of things to do during an already busy season. Here are eight simple, fast and cheap ideas for decorating the fall.
Turn on the dash of the new color in the existing color scheme. Mix bright, saturated red or autumn orange with neutral or contrasting colors such as beige, green or blue. If you like green, try a subdued tone that is a refreshing option for bolder colors. Start with budget-friendly changes, such as accent cushions, throws, table settings, carpets and candles that add drama and influence.
Bring outdoor items from your own backyard, find them at a local jewelry store or farmers. market or buy them online. Look for small branches and branches, cones, mosses and leaves. Put any combination of these into fancy pots, interesting vases, wooden trays, village lanterns or hand woven baskets.
Spice up your autumn dining room by adding unexpected surprises to your dining table. Use ribbon, twine or copper wire to tie a name card to leaves or small rags to make festive places for dinner guests. Dress up your velvet ribbon napkins for a traditional, but festive napkin holder. Or, use thin cords or strings of pearls in a modern metallic hue from a craft store.
Enjoy the fall season with strange or occasional accents. Get homework, organic cloth and wood accessories. Find cozy blankets to add texture and comfort to many spaces.
Select items that will remain current through the holidays or which are simply updated to save time and money. For example, twigs, candles and cones can last until winter. After Thanksgiving, replace your fall pieces with garlands, wreaths, fake snow, or Christmas decorations. You will give your decor an extra style.
Be classic by entering wreaths in your space, and you can make them or find them in many materials. Try wheat or grass for autumn, holly or cones for Christmas, or acorns and dried berries throughout the fall and winter seasons.
You can hang wreaths in the traditional way or experiment with flat wreaths to display pumpkins, pumpkins, candles or other items.
Celebrate the season with candles that are versatile and can be added to any space. Stay with neutral colors, and then make light swaps of the center pieces, holders and jewelry as your mood or season changes. Installing LCD traffic lights is a low investment. For high hits, hang large Chinese paper lanterns or beaded Moroccan vessels to add warmth.
Create a space for conversation around your fireplace. Arrange chairs to make the space more attractive and comfortable. If you do not have a fireplace, sit in two comfortable chairs in a corner or corner, add candles for the ambient light and keep a tray on hand to put mugs of hot chocolate.
