 You
can carry your fall décor from tailgate to Thanksgiving and beyond
by choosing one look that will bring fall into your home all season
long.
Inside you can make your home fireside cozy by doing these simple
things:
1. Change your throw pillows. A pop of fall color will instantly add
warmth to your space. Change out hose cool summer colors for
something in the copper or burgundy family.
2. Use layers, patterns, and textures. The feel of flannel, layering
blankets, and fur are easy ways to spruce up your décor. Baskets and
crates are also a great way to store your fall blankets while adding
to the aesthetic.
3. Swap fresh garden flower centerpieces for fall foliage, twigs,
and vines. Bringing the beauty of the outdoors indoors can be a
great way to make your space feel more fall-like.
4. Break out those fall scented candles and wax melts. Marshmallow,
pumpkin, cider, and apple are a few of my fall favorites.
5. Put Pumpkins front and center. A simple arrangement becomes a
fall staple by putting it in a pumpkin. Line your stairs with a
trail of pumpkins, make a pumpkin planter by carving out a real one
or crafting one from ceramic.
6. Spice up your mantle. Vintage books, copper or amber glass,
candles, and fall foliage are autumn staples. Decorating a fall
mantle can be as easy as draping a fiery autumn garland, displaying
groups of pumpkins, gourds, and lanterns in various sizes and voila!
This video by Jennifer Decorates gives you an example
of how easy it can be to decorate your mantle for fall without an
excessive number of materials.

Supplies you’ll need for your mantle: garland, floral wire, wire
cutters, string lights, foliage of your choice, ribbon, lantern,
battery operated candle.
You begin by measuring your garland to your mantle. Cut the
appropriate length. Secure your garland with floral wire. Next,
weave in warm string lights. Add the foliage of your choice to
accent your garland to match your style and color scheme. You can
choose to use ribbon as the center point of your garland as the
video shows or here you can incorporate antiques, vintage books,
pumpkins, or anything else that makes you think of fall. Decorate
the hearth of your fireplace to add the finishing touch.
Debbie Theobald, owner of Debbie’s Downtown Floral in
Lincoln loves to incorporate sunflowers and lilies in fall
arrangements. Warm light, rustic colors, gnomes, scarecrows, and
woodland creatures bring autumn vibes to the downtown store this
time of year.
To make the outside of your home look festive, Bees Floral and
Landscaping suggests mums, asters, Indian corn, pumpkins, gourds,
and even some bales of hay. Give your porch a makeover by layering
any number of these items to stage the perfect fall display.

EASY DIY FALL DOORMAT | No Cricut or Silhouette Needed! - YouTube
These easy steps will up your curb appeal in no time.
1. Swap out your summer doormat for one with a fall theme. A simple
rattan rug will work, or you can get creative with stencils and
paint to create your own one-of-a-kind doormat. Supplies you will
need are a rug, computer printer, paper, scissors, sponges or paint
brush, craft paint in desired color, and clear coat or modge podge.
Create your design, size your design to fit your mat, print the
design. After the design is printed you will cut out the middle
black section of the letters. Secure the paper design to your mat
with push pins, paint desired color. After the paint dries use a
clear coat or modge podge to seal your design from the elements.
2. Replace your spent summer garden pots with fall
flowers, foliage, and vines. Elevate your outdoor landscape with
fall-colored pots. Bees Floral has several options to choose from.
3. Decorate your mailbox with fall leaves, miniature pumpkins, and
garland.
4. Cozy up your outdoor furniture. Layering neutrals, yellows,
greens, and oranges create a fall mix that can last throughout the
entire season.
5. More is more! You can never have too many pumpkins
and gourds, right? Pumpkin topiaries, pumpkin planters, pumpkin
lights, metallic pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and painted
pumpkins……the possibilities are endless.
Fall is a magical time of year. It is a time of reflection, change
and comfort. Capture the magic of the seasons and the changing
colors. Updating your home for the changing seasons is a great way
to lift your spirits and turn your thoughts towards harvest and
Thanksgiving. Falling temperatures and falling leaves give way to
uplifting spirits. “Fall” in love with your home again as you
transition from warmer days to chilly evenings. Snuggle up with
those you love and reflect on winding down as you prepare for the
end of the year.
