When summer is over, autumn fills the air and the landscape changes colors. Bringing this magic inside a home sets the stage for upcoming holidays and is easy to do!
As the autumn air becomes crisp, the scenery outside reveals nature’s hues of greens, oranges, browns and gold, and keeping stride with the changing seasons makes a home warm and inviting. Autumn brings to mind bare tree branches, fallen leaves, golden hues, and natural textures, so investing in a few pieces of seasonal decor that reflect those images will bring autumn inside. It’s not necessary to completely redecorate, but adding a bit of autumn-inspired decor will create seasonal ambiance. Here are decorating ideas that will keep a home in-sync with the season.
Add Autumn to the Table: Tablecloths, Table Runners, Napkins and Centerpiece
Changing out table linens is an easy way to reflect the changing season. Cooler Fall weather means bowls of steamy soup, baked breads and goodies, and harvest skies. Tablecloths, runners and napkins can evoke those feelings, by using fall colored prints or solids, or nubby, natural textures. The look can be a mix of autumn colors for a casual look, or coordinated hues for a more formal one, and the change can be subtle or bold.
Baskets, glass vases or harvest designed bowls can be used to create a natural centerpiece. The centerpiece could be:
- An amber, crock-shaped bowl filled with pine cones or oranges.
- Multiple glass vases of different heights and shapes, filled with acorns, pumpkins pods or pumpkin seeds.
- Glass vessels filled with pillar candles surrounded by cranberries or coffee beans.
- Eucalyptus or dried flowers arranged in a round, rustic basket.
- A square basket filled with an autumn-colorful liner, filled with different shapes of bread loaves.(The loaves can be dried and coated with varnish or a sealer so they’ll last through the season.)
