Fall Home Decor Made Easy – You Need These Now!

 

Ways of Transitioning to Fall Home Decor

Fall Seasonal Decor

Fall home decor typically starts on the mantel in our humble home. The rest of the room is dotted with colors or seasonal decor to reflect the mantel display.  This picture is from a couple of years ago.  It is one of my favorite fall mantel displays.

You won't want to miss out on this week's “There’s No Place Like Home” Autumn Blog Hop. Several bloggers including our host Rachelle of My Hubbard Home and Lynne at My Family Thyme are sharing their fall home decor. This group of ladies will be getting together a few more times in the coming weeks to share wreaths, crafts, and tablescapes. Links for all the posts are at the bottom of this post.

 

 

Autumnal Mantel Display

Each fall, I pull out the multiple bins, where we store fall decorations. I’ve accumulated a lot of pumpkins, silk sunflowers, silk mums, and a variety of gourds. Lots of these decorations can be picked up during sales and especially at the end of the season sales very inexpensively. En masse across the mantel, they make a grand statement.

A variety of sizes and shapes makes your display more interesting.  Consider that as you choose your items.

You can find these online but be careful to note the size of the faux pumpkins and gourds.  Pictures can be deceiving. A display of 2-1/2 – inch high pumpkins will not make much of a splash on a mantel! The pumpkins in this Amazon offering include 1 Large Pumpkin: 6-1/2″ H x 9″ diameter | 2 Medium Pumpkins: 4″ H x 4-1/2″ diameter | 2 Small Pumpkins: 3″ H x 3″ diameter | 2 Medium Gourds: 4-1/2″ H x 3″ diameter | 1 Small Gourd: 3″ H x 3″ diameter.

 

Pillow Covers – Fall Home Decor

One of my favorite ways of changing up the decor in a room is by adding pillow covers.  We have so many pillows, we really don’t need anymore.  Just ask Dave!  Lol! 

With these simple inexpensive fall pillow covers, you can completely change the look of a pillow and a room.  You can find them in a variety of rich fall colors and styles at some of your local stores and on Amazon. Look for some textural pillows in fall colors or buffalo plaids. 

 

That doesn’t mean you have to buy new pillows every time the season changes. If you can sew a straight line, whip up a new pillowcase. Can we talk about a simple project? 

Can’t sew? Pillow covers of every color, texture, shape, and pattern can be bought in stores and on the internet on many different sites!

These fall pillow covers from Amazon are especially perfect for the country home, but there are a ton of other styles. You can find covers in a variety of rich fall colors, fabrics, designs, and styles on Amazon, Hobby Lobby, and JOANN Fabrics.

 

 

Don’t have an abundance of pillows?  You can find throw pillow inserts on Amazon, too.

 

 

Fall Home Decor Blankets or Throws

Display a couple of pillows and a throw in a textural basket for easy access and added color. On cool days or nights, they’ll come in handy and they look pretty, too.

The key to creating harmony with color is spreading the color throughout the room. If all the fall color is on one side of the room, it will look lopsided, right? Spread those colorful fall pillows, throws, and objects around to create a visual balance of color in the room. Remember to use different textures as well as colors. As you look at your room, those fall pops of color should lead your eye throughout the entire room. 

Anytime I think of coziness, I think of soft velvety or textural throws draped over the chairs and sofas with lots of pillows, don’t you? 

Seasonal Soap

Ahhh! The smells of Autumn in soap, like this Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Gentle Foaming Hand Soap, will add another layer of fall to your home.

We usually have seasonal soaps in decorative containers in the half bath on the main floor. Our youngest granddaughter, Memphis, remembers the soap in the Santa container and when she comes to visit, regardless of the time of year, she often requests to use that soap dispenser!

Don’t you love sunflowers?  They remind me of the fall, too.  This Sunflower foaming shea butter hand soap by Michel Design Works is perfect for adding to the half bath.  The bottle is so pretty and it smells so good!

I also love this Fall Harvest Michel Design Works Scented Foaming Hand Soap. The containers are classy looking and very appealing, aren’t they?

 

 

 Seasonal Fall Home Decor Signs

 

 Don’t you love seasonal signs? Numerous signs, which encourage reading, make their way onto our walls and into our mantel and tabletop decor. Words just seem to draw your attention, don’t they?

 

I picked these up at JOANN Fabrics and the craft store. You can find similar signs at craft stores and also on Amazon. Although these are made of wood, there are a lot of metal signs out there that are very appealing, like this colorful Homebody Accents Autumn Words Subway Metal Sign. This Autumn sign measures 16″x 12″ and I’m thinking we might need it, too.  You’ll have to come back to see how I’ve used these signs in an upcoming post! 

The Fall Sweet Fall sign ends up being a hanging sign for the kitchen window…  You’ll love this idea, which involves iron brackets, a dowel, artificial berry garland, and a couple of lanterns.  You won’t want to miss it!

 

 

Eucalyptus, Mini Pumpkins, Gourds, and Flowers Fall Home Decor Tablescape

A Beautiful Table Runner

Don’t you love a pretty table runner?  I decided to have a dress rehearsal for our Thanksgiving tablescape.  My idea is to use eucalyptus, which you see at a lot of wedding receptions now.

The eucalyptus can be found at floral shops and is very inexpensive.  Silver-blue eucalyptus leaves make a perfect background for mini pumpkins, gourds, and votives or one of the Thanksgiving tin cans I made a couple of weeks ago!  ◄Click here.

A tan buffalo check table runner is the base for this display but I’m thinking of using a burlap runner for our Thanksgiving tables.  

Placing The Eucalyptus Base

Place two of the eucalyptus stem ends together in the center of the table runner.  Then, fill in around the two until you have a nice foundation.  You can cut and fill in more leaves if you need them.

Mini Pumpkins and Gourds

I picked up some mini gourds at the nursery.  There are so many different colors, shapes, and sizes.  The kitchen table is only 3 feet by 5 feet so I limited the number I bought.

 

This larger faux pumpkin caught my eye and I thought it would look pretty with eucalyptus.  Yes, the display will have a combination of real gourds and faux pumpkins, and this one is placed first.  To fill in the greenery, little stems of the eucalyptus can be added after the pumpkins, gourds, and flowers have been placed.

 

The Floral Arrangement

Then, I remember the Thanksgiving tin cans and flowers.  The mums aren’t blooming yet but the Thumbelina zinnias are blooming like crazy.  Not long ago, I bought these metal frogs for mason jars but they fit perfectly in this tin can that I made from a Gold Star Chili Pop Top Can.

 

It’s not a big deal if you don’t have one but they do come in handy.  If you don’t have one, just cut strips of tape in half and create a grid on the can top. Teacup zinnia arrangement.◄ Click here for the how-to.

Add your cut flowers.  It really couldn’t be simpler.

 

Fall Home Decor – Create a Soft Scented Glow With A Soothing Crackle Sound

(We are an Amazon affiliate and may receive a small percentage of any sales through the links in this post at no cost to you.  Thanks for supporting this website!  It makes great posts like this possible!)

Although candles are nice all year, it seems they are especially nice when fall arrives, doesn’t it?  What is better than a soft scented glow from a candle?  Maybe a soothing crackle sound?

Have you seen these wooden wick candles?  This one is ‘Harvest Spice’.  It smells so wonderful and reminds me of mulled apple cider.  I don’t even have to light the wick to enjoy it!  But, when the wick is lit, it crackles as it burns!

If you can’t find them locally, Amazon does have some, like this cinnamon bun wooden wick candle.  I don’t know how long these have been around but I love them!
