Easy Home Decorating Tips for the Fall Season

When temperatures start to cool down, our thoughts turn to the beauty of the fall season. Here are several home decorating tips to bring autumn into your home today.

*Welcome in the outdoors by varying your accessories and décor with the seasons. The fall decorating process begins by introducing autumn colors even before Halloween. This acts as a “primer” for the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving.

*A home decorating tip for the fall season is to use a wide variety of autumn leaves and berries. They provide beautiful russet browns, golds and reds that will enhance any home décor. If allergies are a problem, bring fall colors into your home with new pillows and throws in rich, fall colors.

*Arts and crafts are also very popular this time of year for the do-it-yourselfers. Visit an arts and crafts store for home decorating ideas on making wreaths and floral arrangements. At Michaels.com you will find interactive visuals to show you how to make a wreath from start to finish.

*Fall floral arrangements are one of the easiest home decorating tips to set the mood in a room. A fall arrangement might include pinecones, evergreen branches, dried flowers and leaves, seasonal fruit, small pumpkins and gourds, and a few sprigs of decorative grass.

*You can’t go wrong with autumn-scented candles to conjure up the fragrance of the season. Popular scents are pumpkin spice, vanilla and cranberry.

*Candlescaping is a popular trend which consists of a grouping of candles which may include candles of different heights, textures, and scents arranged in rows or clusters. A candlescape adds not only a warm radiance to a room but makes a statement as well!

*Autumn home decorating tips wouldn’t be complete without mentioning decorative pumpkins—real or artificial. Use them on your porch or table throughout the entire season.
