Fall Decoration Ideas For Every Budget
Pumpkins
It’s pumpkin spice and everything nice season. You know Fall is just around the corner as soon as these bright orange veggies hit the market and decorate the entrance doors of every house and store. Real pumpkins are a great choice for outdoor decoration. But what about the interior? Instead of buying real pumpkins that have to be washed properly before being put on display, use artificial pumpkins to spruce up your rooms. Two years ago, I bought porcelain pumpkins in white for the dining room and it’s been the best Fall decoration investment. You can place artificial pumpkins in a different spot each year to create a new decor look. Once the season is over, you don’t have to worry about throwing the rotten veggies away and generating unnecessary waste. It’s a practical way to achieve a sustainable lifestyle.
Foliage & Floral
This season, decor experts suggest inviting natural dry foliage and florals inside your house. Fill your vases with pampas grass, dried flowers, and bunny tails to form a warm fall decoration atmosphere. Pull out wooden salad bowls, throw in fall-scented potpourri and place them in the living room. Place preserved fresh Eucalyptus branches or dried lavender in the bathrooms and entryway to charm your guests with a reinvigorating aroma. And finally, place artificial floral centerpieces on your dining table surrounded by small pumpkins and candles.
Decorative pillows
When it comes to decorative pillows, you can now choose fall patterns and colors that match your decor theme. Long gone are the days when the only option was traditional orange fall decoration ideas. There are countless adorable and modern patterns to find on Etsy and Amazon. You can stick to colors that complement your furniture and wall paint with delicate prints and unusual colors such as blue and white. Place the decorative pillows on chairs, on beds, and on entryway benches to integrate the fall decoration theme.
Miscelleneous Decor ideas
If you are not big on throw pillows and pumpkins, take a chance on setting a grateful mood with understated fall decoration pieces like doormats, earth-tone furniture accessories, candle holders and picture frames that display inspirational fall quotes. Little pieces here and there placed in a study room and workstation suggest a sense of calmness and a gentle feel grateful reminders. And if you have some time to craft something creative, wrap large greenery garlands around some doors.
Candles
Candles take us back to simpler times than the hectic modern 21st century. And watching the flickering flames of candles exude an aura of elegance and tranquility. Surround yourself with gratification by placing candles safely in the bathrooms, hallways, and your living area. For your safety and health, consider using flameless and non-toxic candles to illuminate your fall decoration.
Scented Rooms
Smell is a sensation that brings us joy. The aroma of your favourite dish or flower brings delightful nostalgic feelings and memories of loved ones. Some of the best fall scents that create a heartfelt atmosphere are pumpkin spice, spiced apple, cinnamon, vanilla, smoky wood smells, teakwood and tobacco, deep forest smells and sage. These are the most loved scented candles that will intoxicate your mind with tranquility and peace.
Dinnerwear
If you are hosting Thanksgiving or inviting people over to experience your sumptuous culinary skills this fall, stock up on these creative dining table fall decoration ideas. For linen, look for plaids, florals, and customized embroidered linen. Decorate the table with artificial pumpkins and dried leaves. I always love to find new creative ways to fold napkins on Pinterest. If you don’t fancy this idea, use floral printed napkins to create rich contrasts. And instead of placing candles on the table, use tiny holiday lights, or place the candles on the serving table and hutch.
Blankets
When it comes to blankets, opt for rich and heavy fabrics like large knits, faux fur, and high-quality fleece blankets. As well, add popular winter patterns like plaids and animal prints. You can incorporate neutral colors in your fall decoration ideas and place them in different rooms or spots like your bed, a bench, or even throw them over a large basket in the family room. But you know what’s my favourite blanket? UGGS fleece is extra plush and cozy that everyone in the family will want to cuddle under. Here are more cuddly ideas for your home:
Wicker Baskets
Don’t put your eggs in one basket! Well, there’s more to this quote than eggs. Wicker baskets are simply the best way to create small storage solutions for all the annoying tiny stuff lying around the house. Baskets create an eclectic look in any room. Use them to cover plastic planters, or fill them up with blankets and plush toys. Place small baskets in the kitchen and load them with fall vegetables and fruits like apples and oranges. This will encourage everyone at home to snack on healthy fruits instead of processed carbs and sugar. Use large wicker baskets as vases and fill them up with dried pampas
Wreaths
Traditionally wreaths are used to decorate the front doors but you can also incorporate wreaths as a fall decoration idea inside your home. Place them above the fireplace mantel, or decorate interior doors. Lay them on a dining table and place a pumpkin or candles inside the circle. You can also hang a few wreaths on the staircase railings or on the top corner of a picture frame. As for colors, choose greens and neutral colors instead of traditional orange pumpkin if you prefer a modern look.
Vintage decor pieces
Lastly, to evoke the feeling of fall, add something old to your fall decorating project. Sneak into your mom’s or grandmother’s attic or storage closet to pick some vintage decor pieces. Mix these rustic elements with any of the above fall decorating elements and you’ve got yourself a good old nostalgic fall setting.
