Decorating Trends For Fall 2013




Looking for some inspiration to dress up your fall decor? Autumn doesn't have to require an entire overhaul of your home, you can simply add fall touches here and there that will brighten up an area and get you ready for the season. Here are some tips and ideas to get you started!


Autumn Bouquet
Rather than a bouquet of flowers, go for a bouquet of autumn leaves. The bright and ever-changing colors bring a burst of vibrancy to the room. Plus, this look couldn't be simpler. Snip some small branches off a tree in your yard, or for a longer-lasting look, purchase faux leaves at a local crafts store.
Gourd and Pumpkin Lights
Jack-o-lanterns add a spark to your autumn-inspired decor, but this time, the faces and fancy carvings aren't necessary. Simply cut a hole in the top of a pumpkin, scoop out the insides, and place a candle inside the cavity to create a warm fall light. Try different sizes of pumpkins and surround them with gourds and other pumpkins to complete the arrangement.


Seasonal Color Palette
Autumn is a season full of colors -- but not just the reds, oranges, and yellows of the leaves. Deep colors, like purple, green, or navy work, as well. Work them in with accents like vases, hand towels, and rugs.
Fall Fill
Looking for an inexpensive yet chic fall vase filler? Try dried beans. This pantry staple is readily available in bulk at a low cost. Experiment with different color combination, such as red kidney beans with orange berries or white beans and yellow berries.
Orchard Fruits
Arrange brightly colored apples on your mantel, perching them on decorative urns for height. Use artificial apples if you want the display to last the whole fall season.
Pumpkins on Display
Add petite pumpkins to an existing display to dress it up for fall. Plain pumpkins work well, but if you want to add some extra flair, paint designs on the pumpkins in colors that match your decor.
Garden Garland
Knot mini pumpkins and fresh fall leaves onto a length of twine to create a harvest-theme window swag.
