Fall Decorating 101

In honor of fall being a season of change, why not give your home a fresh look?

Here are 3 tips for trading your summer sun decor for fabulous fall looks!

1. Color

Color is characteristic of fall.  Changing leaves, bright colored foods like squash, corn, and apples, and colorful sweaters, scarves, and boots.

2. Replace your flowers for foliage

Flowers are great accents for any time of the year, but why not use leaves (real or fake), to spice up your home.

Here are some unique ways to use foliage in your home! Use hand picked leaves to create a leaf bowl.  Both charming and useful.  

You can also frame your favorite leaves, place them on your mantel, or use them to make aluminous jar for a candle.

3.  Trade "Nautical" for Knotted and Natural Accents.

With fall in our midst, give in to the elegance and charm that nature has to offer.  Although a stick can look just like...a stick, a cluster of sticks can be made into a lovely centerpiece. 

Not fond of wood in its natural state?  Paint or glitter can add personality.  You can use just about anything found in nature to spruce up your home.  Including but not limited to....

Gourds

Mix a variety of textures, colors, and heights to create an appealing focal point.
