Fall Decor & Design
I can’t believe we only have 2 more weeks left of October. This year is starting to come to an end, but honestly it’s my favorite time of the year. I have been brainstorming some new design ideas for this years Christmas decor, a whole new color palette, and I honestly am equally nervous and excited to share it! Only nervous because I hope I can find everything I need for it. However before we can start on that I wanted to share …
If you are like me, and you don’t necessarily gravitate towards big seasonal changes in your decor, than this post is for you. To decorate for fall, I may not be running for the first orange pumpkin I see, or orange plaid throw blanket, there are steps I take to refresh our living room for fall. Today I’m going to share with you some of my thought process that goes behind how I refresh our spaces as the seasons change.
One of the first place’s I go to decorate for the seasons is our dining room table. It’s a great way to add a seasonal touch without having to change out the bulk of my decor. I know sometimes figuring out just what to put on your dining room table can be tricky. So today I’m sharing a simple fall tablescape idea that will last through Thanksgiving. I’ve also teamed up with some friends who are sharing more easy ideas to decorate for fall with.
Have you noticed a shift in the home decor this past year? I sure have, and I am loving the outcome. Although I tend to stick to a more classic approach in design, there are definitely a few new trends on the top of my list to incorporate into my decor, and some I’ve already started to bring in! Today I’m going to share with you some design trends I’m loving right now, and a fun little video to go along with it!
It’s the perfect time of the year for porch sitting. I will say that we pretty much enjoy our porch all summer long, since our humidity isn’t constant in the summer, but fall is perfect. It’s cool enough the bugs stay away, but still warm enough to enjoy. This year I decided to try something different, NO MUMS! Call me crazy I know, trust me I was thinking the same thing. I love mums just as much as the next person, but I wanted to change things up a bit, and see what I could do without using them. I have to say I’m a bit smitten with the outcome.
The dust has settled. You know that gets kicked up with kids going back to school and summer ending. Well maybe it’s just the last bit of beach sand being shaken out from our car, but life finally feels like it is in somewhat of a routine, and the air is crisp with fall. I’m teaming up with my friends at bHome to share a little bit more of fall around our home.
When I think about gathering around the table, it’s a tradition. One that can sometimes get brushed aside in the busy schedules, but one that has great importance and a huge impact. It makes life more meaningful. If you ask both my kids what their favorite “family time” activity is, they will tell you – gathering around a table and sharing a meal. I’m glad that it’s meaningful to them, and impacts them in such a way.
I’m loving the cooler tones used for fall. It was something I started implementing in last years fall decor. Just to clarify, there is nothing wrong with bringing out orange in the fall. But I crave a more subtle, neutral look. I know it’s not for everyone and that’s ok. I love that we aren’t all alike in our taste. I pick patterns that have a timeless feel to them like houndstooth and herringbone and plaids. They still feel like fall, just not the expected color palette.
This year has been about simplifying. Not adding more, but really emphasizing on special details. It’s easy to feel the need to add a ton to your decor when decorating for new seasons, however I chose to make subtle transitions to gradually add fall into our living room. We are back for another round of Farmhouse Holiday Decor Series. Today we are sharing our Living Rooms decorated for fall.
