Fall Decor…simple and natural


Fall is my favorite time of year here in Northern California. The changing leaves, the chill in the air, means its time to change up my décor.

While decorating for fall this year, I am drawn to simple, natural elements like these…




Orchard Fruits
 
 
Fall Mantel Decor


The above mantels look clean, simple and sophisticated. Using natural elements like leaves, berries, and even apples is an excellent way to bring in fall colors and textures.

How about collecting some acorns on your next outing to use this season. There are so many projects you can create…

Pumpkins are an obvious choice to use for fall décor. You can find them easily at the market in all shapes, sizes and colors. Put them out now and enjoy them through November…

Lastly, gourds are another all time favorite of mine. The unique shapes and textures add so much interest to any display…

Now that I have plenty of inspiration…I am looking forward to adding some simple and natural elements to my home for fall.


How do you like to decorate for the season?
