BRING THE INDOORS OUTDOORS

DECORATE THE FIRE MANTLE
Who doesn't love sitting in front of the fireplace on a cold fall day while drinking a cup of hot chocolate, a pumpkin spice latte, or hot tea? Spice up your fireplace mantle with long wreaths of red, yellow, and orange leaves or laurel leaves and add small decorations like candle holders or pumpkins. Want to go even more extra? Find LED lights that are orange to brighten up your mantle even more and give your living room a spooky feel! Not a big fan of artificial light? Try finding an aged mirror with hints to brighten up your living room with reflected light!
FARMHOUSE FEEL
Fall is all about going to the farm and picking out your pumpkin! Why not bring the farm to your home with farmhouse decorations? Add a couple of baskets to a coffee table, kitchen table, or kitchen island with different kinds of squash and pumpkins. And who says they have to be orange or yellow? Get creative with different colored pumpkins such as green and blue! Wreaths are also seen a lot in farmhouse decor and as a Christmas decoration, but you can even make a fall wreath with colorful leaves, pine cones, and different small pumpkins!
FLAUNT COPPER
Copper continues to be a popular metal during the fall because of its glowing material and because of its brown and orange hues, which perfectly reflect the colors of fall. You can find any decoration made in copper, from copper pumpkins to copper Moscow Mule mugs! Because of its shine, make sure not to use too much copper in your home. Otherwise, it'll take away from other cute fall decorations in your home. Not only is there shiny copper, but there is also worn and aged copper. This can give your home more of a spooky and vintage look!
FRESHEN UP YOUR FRONT PORCH
Tired of seeing the same decorations on your front porch year-round? Get ready for fall by swapping out summer blooms or ferns for fall mums with grasses, hay, or sweet potato vines! Add touches or worn wood that can be used as a vase or table and incorporate metals by finding candle holders to give your porch a warm feel. To top it all off, find a couple of outdoor rocking chairs so you can enjoy the cooler weather and say hi to your neighbors!
GET SPOOKY
Are you the one who likes to go all out with Halloween decorations? Turn your home into a haunted house by adding layers of Halloween decor. Lighting can make your home go from bright to spooky! Try changing out your light bulbs with colored bulbs or buy strings of LED lights. Add dark decor throughout your home, like blankets, throw pillows, candle holders, etc. Get creative with your skeleton choices! Really like pumpkins? Try finding pumpkins that double up as lights so you can display them all around your home without them getting rotten from carving them too early before Halloween.
POP IN SOME PLAID
Who said plaid was only for lumberjacks? Nowadays, you can find plaid on anything like pillows, blankets, tablecloths, placemats, coffee mugs, and more! Why not use some of it, or all of it, to decorate your home? To really make the plaid stand out, make sure you balance it out with other toned fabrics and decor.
PUT MEMORIES ON DISPLAY
Stroll down memory lane and display photos of your family's past, spooky or happy! If you want to get even more creative with old photos, research your family tree and find old photos of your ancestors. Putting up these photos will give your home a spooky vibe and spark conversation with your guests! Make these photos stand out by choosing a rustic or worn picture frame to display the essence of the past.
SEASONAL TABLEWARE
Turn every meal into a holiday with seasonal tableware! Deck out your dining table with warm shades of orange, red, and yellow paired with muted greens and copper metallic accents. Get creative with your table glasses and silverware. Who says you can't go crazy with your wine glasses or silverware? Check out a vintage store to find unique pieces! Layer different-sized plates in a stack, and underneath, add a simple table cloth and placemat to enhance your fun dishes! And let's not forget about your centerpiece. Find a glass vase (so you can see through it to converse with others at the table), and add in your favorite fall flowers!
SPICE UP YOUR FRONT DOOR
Not afraid to change the color of your front door? A fresh coat of paint can work wonders, and it's a relatively easy update! Swap out your door color for another hue when your tastes change or when a new season swings by. To really capture the fall feeling, choose dark greens or blues, or a beautiful shade of yellow, orange, or red! Are you more of the bold type? Try a deeper hue! Want to take it further than just updating the color of your door? Try adding a hanging decoration that will welcome guests into your home.
