Every year when Fall comes around I find it hard to get motivated to change out my Summer décor to Fall décor.
I love Fall weather, crisp air, beautiful colors in nature, but inside my home I have a hard time accepting Fall.
Fall
decorating can be hard for a Springtime gal like myself. Especially
when I don’t decorate with the typical Autumnal colors,( NO orange in my life!)
To help me get motivated I had to write down the elements, and colors that I DO enjoy.
I thought about what represents Fall to me and made a list.
Wooden bowls
Wooden turned candlesticks
Wooden cutting boards
Pomegranates
Such a beautiful pinky/red color.
Soft Green Eucalyptus Leaves
Cream or basil colored candles
Crisp red and green apples
Brass candlesticks that glow
Pale Green/Gray Pumpkins
Golden Pears
Mums
I love to use purples, white, and yellows for Fall.
Ornamental Kale
Loi from Tone on Tone’s Fall Kitchen
BASKETS
Adding texture with baskets adds warmth to any space.
Bakelite or Horn handled silverware
Bring in the warmth of Bakelite silverware.
I placed mine in a vintage spooner.
Lanterns
Nuts and acorns
Fall Branches in a vase
By having this list on hand it makes it easier for me to change my décor to a more Fall-like look.
You will notice that in my list there are no russets, or oranges!
So you see it is possible to decorate for Fall without using any of the colors in the orange family!!
Do you like to use traditional autumnal colors, or are you like me?
