As we say goodbye to summer, the excitement of the fall season brings us new inspiration. Cozy throws, warm hues along with touches from nature, help to create a warm, inviting atmosphere in our home.
The Fall Season has so much for us to celebrate! I hope that this article inspires you to look at your space in a new way and to try new things.
Why not grab a cup of tea and read on!
Where do we begin?
How do you start the fall decorating process? For many homeowners, it’s very overwhelming. I suggest that you pull out any bins that contain your fall items and bring them all out so you can see everything at once. That way you will have a good idea of what you have and also decide if perhaps you need some additional pieces. If you need to purchase a few things make sure you make a list so you don’t forget.

Front Porch Welcome:
Just because the weather is getting cooler, it doesn’t mean that you can’t decorate your front porch. A chair or a bench is an easy focal point to begin your porch transformation. Why not bring out some bales of hay, corn stalks, scarecrows, pumpkins, a cushion and of course the ever popular flower of fall – the mum! Don’t forget to purchase a new welcome mat if yours is showing its age.

Easy Table Centrepieces:
Bring nature inside. Table centrepieces do not have to be boring or expensive. Here are two examples that I hope inspire you!
- A wooden long charcuterie board does double duty as a base. I added a couple of metal cloches , mini pumpkins, some fall greenery and a candle and voila! A fabulous fall look for my table created with things that I had around my home.

Mini pumpkins & gourds, wheat sheaf, candles in glass vases and some greenery create a beautiful look for your table or counter.

Cushions & Throws Create Coziness!:
This season we are seeing such amazing fall-inspired cushions and throws – they can be used for inside or outside decorating offering a warm and inviting feeling. Cushions, especially, provide a quick update while throws offer warm, texture and interest.
