It is already October, but that doesn’t mean you need to leave fall decoration ideas in the lurch.
Here are a few ideas for inspiration you can put into practice with just a few decorations (some of which you can improvise) and a few spare minutes.
Convert a Wreath
Already got a wicker wreath on your front door? You can make it into a fall wreath with the addition of just a few fall-themed picks and sprays.
Also, adding some fall-themed ribbon is a surefire way to add an appropriate seasonal slant to your home’s entryway. Just a few additions and you’re set with unique fall home decor that will add warmth and color for you, your family, and friends.
Fall Garlands
Fall garlands, bedecked with pumpkin accents, picks, sprays, and berries, are great for any fall setting. Add these to your mantles, railings, banisters, and elsewhere around your home to make an immediate impression.
They’re usually pretty affordable, too, but if you don’t have one and you have some fall-themed or patterned ribbon, you can wrap two together and add some picks and sprays, then use these in their place.
Make a Fall-Themed Centerpiece
All you need are a few fall accents to make a fall-themed centerpiece that will dazzle your guests and leave the entire setting with an undeniably seasonal slant.
Consider starting with a bare wicker wreath. Lay it flat on the table and add some fall-colored pillar or jar candles to the mix – think oranges, warm whites, burgundies, siennas, ochres, and other muted, warm earth tones.
If you don’t want to use candles, fall-themed accents like fabric, felt, glass or resin pumpkins will do well, too, as well as seasonally appropriate picks and sprays and decorative blocks. Stagger these in size and height to create the impression of layers and add depth.
And there you have a fall-themed centerpiece, for only a few dollars and a couple of minutes of your time.
Add a Table Runner
No time to arrange a fall centerpiece? Get a fall-themed runner and put that on the table. It’s only a little change to a setting but if you choose one with a fall-colored palette (again, think warm earth tones) it will change the entire feeling of the setting.
When In Doubt, Add Pumpkins
This is the time of year when everyone is offering all different sorts and sizes, large and small, of decorative pumpkin accents in felted wool and other fabrics, resin, wood, glass and crystal, and more.
These are easy to add to most any setting, from the living room to the kitchen. Bare countertops, tables, alcoves and recesses, bookshelves, and mantles are great places to start. A few pumpkins add some fall pops of color and you’re set!
Visit a Farm Stand
Nature’s bounty is another (usually) cheap and accessible way to add some fall flair, at least for those that live in the area.
Visit a farm stand and see what they are offering at this time of year. Some of them may be offering hay bales, cornstalks, pumpkins, gourds, and mums, all of which can be arranged around your front door, vestibule, or even in your house to introduce some fall spirit.
