Fall Decor
Yes, it is only August…but that means Fall decor comes out in my house next month. I love the simple and classy colors and decor that can stay all through the end of November.
These items are all from the newest addition of Pottery Barn magazine.
They would all be simple to duplicate for so much cheaper. I actually just stopped by a field yesterday and cut some wheat and oats for the table arrangement. I am trying to figure out the best way to dupe the wreath and when I do I will post it.
In the meantime….get ready for fall🍂🍁
As someone who absolutely adores autumn, I totally get the excitement of decorating for fall even when summer is still in full swing! There’s just something magical about transforming your home into a cozy haven as the leaves begin to change. If you're like me, you're always on the hunt for fresh fall ideas to infuse those perfect fall vibes into your living space. And guess what? You don't need to spend a fortune to get that high-end, Pottery Barn-inspired look. Let me share some of my favorite tips for creating a truly cozy home atmosphere this season. First off, let's talk about creating that ultimate 'cozy home' feeling. It's not just about what you see, but what you feel and even smell! Think layers and textures. Swap out your lighter throw blankets for chunky knits, faux fur, or soft flannel. Add some plush velvet or textured linen pillow covers to your sofa. These small changes instantly make a room feel warmer and more inviting. For lighting, consider swapping out harsh overhead lights for softer, ambient lamps. Flameless LED candles are a fantastic way to add a warm glow without the fire hazard, especially if you have pets or kids. And don't forget scents! A fall-inspired essential oil blend or a simmering potpourri on the stove with apple slices, cinnamon sticks, and cloves can fill your home with the most incredible autumn aroma, truly enhancing those fall vibes. Now, for those beautiful fall decor ideas that won't break the bank. You know I'm all about duping those expensive Pottery Barn pieces! One of the easiest and most effective ways to decorate is by bringing the outdoors in. Just like cutting wheat and oats for a table arrangement, you can gather pinecones, colorful fallen leaves, branches, or even small gourds and pumpkins from a local farmers market. Arrange them in a simple vase or bowl for an instant, natural centerpiece. If you're looking to create a statement piece, a DIY wreath is a must. You can buy a plain grapevine wreath form very affordably at any craft store. Then, let your creativity flow! Attach faux fall leaves, berries, tiny pumpkins, or even some burlap ribbon. The OCR mentioned a beautiful wreath, and trust me, making your own is incredibly satisfying and significantly cheaper than buying a pre-made one. You can customize it to perfectly match your simple and classy fall color palette. Speaking of color palettes, while classic oranges and reds are lovely, don't be afraid to explore other shades that evoke a sophisticated fall vibe. Deep olive greens, muted golds, burnt sienna, creamy whites, and rich burgundies can create an incredibly elegant autumnal scheme. Mix and match these colors through your pillows, throws, candles, and even your wall art. Upcycling is another fantastic budget-friendly idea. Old glass jars can be painted a matte cream or deep green and used as vases for your foraged branches. Baskets can be repurposed to hold extra blankets or decorative gourds. These thoughtful touches contribute so much to the overall aesthetic and help you achieve that high-end look without the high-end price tag. Get ready to embrace all the beauty and coziness that fall has to offer!
