Easy Home Decorating Ideas for Fall Including Halloween

The remarkable ritual of fall decorating is already underway. The days are shorter and there is crispness in the air in many parts of the country. It is time to integrate fall home decorating ideas into your home to give it a new lease on life.

What would fall home decorating be without pumpkins? Whether they are real or fake, you can find pumpkins in all shapes, sizes and designs to be used indoors or outdoors.
By the way, pumpkin carving dates back to the late 1800’s when European immigrants to the New World saw how plentiful pumpkins were and started hollowing out jack-o-lanterns from pumpkins instead of using their traditional turnips!

Pumpkins can be used in traditional fall floral arrangements and work very well in cornucopias. Another home decorating idea for pumpkins is to use them to create topiaries. Pumpkins can be used for the entire fall season including Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Wreaths and floral arrangements are a marvelous way to add the colors of the fall season to your home and one of the easiest ways to set the mood in a room. This is a basic home decorating tip to keep in mind any season of the year. Incorporate the beautiful fall shades of yellow, orange, red and warm brown into your floral arrangements to bring a touch of nature indoors.

Items that can be used to create a wreath or a floral arrangement include dried or silk flowers, berries, seasonal fruit, pinecones, ribbons, bows, pumpkins, evergreen twigs, and dried grasses. A visit to a craft store will give you more than enough home decorating ideas to get you started.

A home decorating tip for using candles in your home décor is to place them in empty bottles. Select bottles and jars with interesting shapes and colors which will hold tapers or votives. It’s a great way to add fall color to your décor.

According to one online source, Halloween spending is second only to Christmas. This is in large part due to the popularity of Halloween décor both inside and outside the house. Whether you go all out and decorate for Halloween or just use home decorating ideas for the fall season in general, at least add a special touch to your home with fall colors.
