Fall Season/Halloween Home Decorations

 This year I was slow to decorate the house because the weather is not fall-like.  There has been no change in the weather.  No crisp fall days, no cool nights.  But In spite of the summer-like weather I wanted to get into the Fall / Halloween mood so I did decorate my living and dining room. I mixed the season and the holiday decorations and surprisingly it looks nice.

Here are a few photos of my coffee station and my china cabinet.  Both are located in the dining room.

 

This year I did shop online for a few things that would compliment my seasonal decorations. Amazon had Luminara Flameless LED Candles that had autumn leaves that were embedded in real wax.  The flame moved and the candles added a cozy ambiance to the décor in my living room.

 I also bought battery-operated orange lights from Big Lots.  I used these battery-operated lights to add soft color to my fall season wreath and the decorations that I put in my China cabinet. 

 

The tables were covered with seasonal linens that I bought at Zazzle.  The runner had a pumpkin and sunflower print on a white background and it was perfect on my buffet.

 

Know that I liked the way the Halloween and fall season decorations came together.  I did not utilize all of my decorations and think that less was more for this year.

Fall Season Decor Ideas / Pumpkin Products

Many people decorate their homes with the fall colors orange-brown and gold by decorating with leaf garlands, swags, and pumpkins. When you accent the décor of your home with a pumpkin printed home accessories you will be celebrating the fall season and also adding coziness.

One way to add pumpkins to the décor of your home is to buy real pumpkins to set on your front porch or create a harvest style centerpiece that would incorporate small pumpkin accents among chrysanthemum flowers.

For a special occasion create a pumpkin arrangement by filling it up with real or silk chrysanthemum flowers, here is the photo of the centerpiece. Learn how to create it here.

Another way to add seasonal pumpkins to your homes décor is to shop for uniquely designed products at Zazzle.  Zazzle is a print on demand store where all the products are created by independent designers. Many of the pumpkin pattern designs can be personalized with your own monogram or words. Which makes it nice especially if you add an outdoor pumpkin pillow with the text “Welcome to our Porch”

Unlike other stores that charge a fee for the personalized product because many home accessories at Zazzle are templates which means you can buy as shown or create your own pumpkin design.

Here are some home accessories that I found at Zazzle.com. They all feature a fall season pumpkin design. If you see something that you like to click the highlighted text below the product image and this link will take you to the designer's store where you can view a larger image, learn more about the product, contact the designer with questions or buy.

Getting Ready to Decorate for Fall Season

Today the weather was cool and the drop in temperature, along with gray skies put me in the mood for getting my home ready for fall decorating. So I made a pot pumpkin coffee latte then lit a pumpkin spice candle to create fall ambiance and to get motivated to decorate.

Before I could attempt to decorate, I needed to organize my summer accessories and home accents. I pulled them all and set them on my dining room table, and then I wrapped in plastic bubble wrap and packed everything in storage containers for the garage. It took me all day to do this prep work and when all containers were out of sight I realized that the next step would mean a top to bottom cleaning to remove the dirt and the dust.

I was exhausted so I asked my husband to help me and he said he would clean the rugs and ceiling fans for me. I was hoping he would say he would clean the baseboard but thought it best to stay quiet.

Cleaning the house with your spouse is a whole lot better than doing it by yourself. Once my husband starts cleaning he is like a machine. He may not have done the baseboards but he did go into the kitchen and washed the dishes, cleaned up the counter and mopped the floor. (He is my hero)

When all was said and done we both sat on the couch and admired our housework. The room looked fresh and very clean. We are both motivated to decorate for fall and Halloween. My husband said he would do the outdoors and I get to decorate the interior.

Tomorrow I will get out my fall storage containers to see what I have and make a list of what I need. I know I will do some shopping this year for leaf pattern table runners, throwpillows and would like to pick up a fall pattern fleece blanket to toss over the backside of the sofa. Fall nights can be cool and the blanket will come in handy. I also would like to buy some paperplates and fall designed coffee mugs.

Well, I have a plan for tomorrow and think the day will be special because I will be doing autumn activities and crafts with my family. Do you decorate for the fall season?

Fall Pattern Kitchen Tablecloths

One of the easiest ways to decorate your kitchen is to add a fall pattern tablecloth. Large and small tables will look very cozy with a fall leaf or other pattern tablecloth. The table will be your focal area then all you have to do is add some kitchen accents like coffee mugs, paper plates, napkins and kitchen towels. It does not take much to create a warm and cozy kitchen for the fall season.

Here is a table runner with a fall leaf pattern. Below see the tablecloths.

Before you shop determine your fall color scheme. Many people like the color yellow and orange pattern with accents of dark brown, green or black. You can shop locally or online. Now if you want to match up a pillow or your window treatments you should take a photograph of the print then upload that photo at Zazzle.co

You can also shop the marketplace at Zazzle for a fall tablecloth or runner. All products that you view are created by artists and the designs are unique and will never be found at the mall.

Here are a few fall pattern tablecloths that I found at zazzle.com. Know that you can buy the tablecloth as shown or upload your photo and make your own.

Set your table with this cloth and add an autumn centerpiece and you will create an eye appealing autumn kitchen.

Fall Season Decorations

Soon the fall season will be here and you will want to create a cozy living room for your family and friends to relax and unwind. When it comes to decorating for the fall season the colors orange, golden brown and burgundy are a few of my favorites because they make your space feel warm and inviting.

Decorate for the fall season by adding ambiance to your space. Shop for fall leaf printed pillows for your sofa, a rustic metal container with yellow mums, fall landscape poster for your wall.  These are just a few ways that you can decorate your space with for fall.

Know that the fall season can be rainy or cool so the family will be spending more time indoors. The throw pillows are great for the kids for watching TV or for sitting on the floor, a throw blanket is also a good idea draped over the sofa.

Accent the coffee table with an orange maple leaf pattern table runner, then add candles and a bowl of nuts. You may also want to add a board game or a puzzle.

Outdoor Fall Decorating Ideas – Porch and Beyond

Many people enjoy decorating the front yard and entrance for the fall season. Fall is generally the season when people gather for home parties or other activities. A festively decorating entrance is a good way to welcome your guests and to make your home feel cozy during the fall season.

Decorate with pumpkins

Know that you do not have to go crazy. You can create a cozy ambiance with pumpkins in a planter urn, two autumn leaves wreaths, outdoor lights; spotlight or solar mason jar, and potted chrysanthemums.

Add decorations to your porch an entrance with a maple leaf door wreath, a medium-size planter urn could hold another wreath that is turned to its side with a pumpkin sitting in the middle. Then scatter a few pumpkins on the steps. Buy solar light and set it up so that it highlights your front porch or other outdoor lights. I found special effect lights amazing that I like, they are clear like mason jars and have lights inside. Add a few to your fall decorations and your home entrance will look festive for the fall season.  

If you have a yard and you want to add more fall decorations then consider a wooden wheelbarrow filled with pumpkins and assorted mums. Set this yard display close to the entrance of your home and it will complement your fall decorations.

The art set below is one I created to show a client how to decorate outdoors for the fall season. Below is another outdoor living space for the backyard.

I hope my ideas have inspired you to decorate. 

 

Real Tree Home Decor Ideas

If you are a nature lover then it makes perfect sense to accent your home with real tree decorations. I like trees, I enjoy taking photographs of trees especially during the fall season. 

When the leaves change to gold, orange and red it is spectacular. I also like to photograph trees in the winter, at dawn when the moon is setting in the west and the sun is coming up in the east, the light on the trees is mystical is a dreamy sort of way. These photographs enabled me to create real tree home decoration; throw pillows, table runner, and incredible wall art.

When you decorate your home with real trees you will add a coziness to your space. Along with products, I also like to add fresh evergreen and pine cone arrangement for my coffee table because this will add a nature woodsy fragrance to your space. If you prefer you can buy a silk arrangement and then add balsam and cedar home fragrance oil. Use this oil in a fragrance oil warmer and get a woodsy natural fragrance.
