Fall is arguably the best time of the year. You can finally indulge in a giant mug of hot chocolate, and the outdoors become breathtakingly beautiful. The leaves changing color could also inspire you to transform your home. In attempts to redecorate, don't resort to pulling out the old arts and crafts from the attic bins labeled 1995. Palm turkeys and paper plates painted pumpkin orange are not your only options.
With these six tasteful ideas, you're sure to fall in love with your fall décor all over again.
Festive Pillows
For a simple but noticeable touch, invest in a few festively patterned or brightly colored red and orange pillows. Simply toss these on a neutral brown or grey couch to warm up the whole room.
Glass Vases
Inexpensively accessorize your entire home this season. Fill a few narrow glass vases with some wheat, grass and small flowers of your choice. Place them just about anywhere.
DIY Gourd Candles
Swapping out your summer scents for autumn ones like apple cider, vanilla and cranberry is one way to prepare for fall, but why not take it a step further? With this DIY project, carve out tea light candleholders from your favorite fall gourds.
Silver & Gold Pumpkins
Not every pumpkin needs to have a jack-o'-lantern face drawn on it. Opt for a metallic gold or an antique silver pumpkin instead of the plastic orange, and you might just want to keep it on display all year long.
Harvest Centerpiece
Bring some nature into your home with a harvest centerpiece. Just grab a few handfuls of dried grass and wheat and tie them together with ribbon to complete the look. Place the final piece on your dining table or on the mantel. It is sure to catch the attention of your guests.
Pinecones
Putting this fall favorite to use could be as simple as filling a giant vase with them, but that's not the only way you can use pinecones. Sprinkle a few across the mantel or use them as window charms; the options are endless.
It only takes a few key design pieces to transition your house from summer to fall. Try a few of these décor options, pour that cup of hot chocolate and truly enjoy your home this season.
