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.
You will notice many of the elements have some texture and warmth to them. Layering texture to a room will make your room more welcoming in the upcoming cooler months

Wooden bowls
Wooden turned candlesticks
Wooden cutting boards
There is something about wooden cutting boards/bread boards that fascinate me. They add not only a textural interest to a room, but a wonderful silhouette as well.

I like to place a a few on my kitchen countertop, the warmth of the wood next to the coolness of the marble makes a nice contrast in the room.
Pomegranates
Such a beautiful pinky/red color.
Soft Green Eucalyptus Leaves

I have found that this color of green works very well in my home. It has such a soft silvery green color and the fragrance is also a very nice addition.
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. These are my Fall plantings.
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?

Beautiful Fall images and inspiration for decorating without orange. I don't have much orange, but a set of china I love, cause it's a floral pattern with small orange flowers.
I'm smitten with the big basket holding the cutting boards.
Have a happy week. I'm pinning.

Great examples of adding Fall to your home by using texture and neutrals. I love splashes of orange, but some rooms, like my formal DR which has my pink Staffordshire just doesn't play well with orange. So like you, I use neutrals and soft greens and off whites. So many pretty examples, thanks for sharing. xxoo, Barb
Kathysue I love all of your non orange ideas for autumn decor!!
Very natural and interesting!

I'm like you...no orange in my home. Your list is great. I would like to add pinecones to it.
the golden pear image took my breath away. yer good at that, mama. peace to you.
Great examples!!....I so love the basket with all of those great bread boards!!!
Your annual anti-orange post always makes me giggle as I love orange and use it throughout my home. But your ideas are beautiful and I love them all and incorporate them right next to my orange, with my favorites being small acorns that we just dont find here in So.Cal. Hope you are in your new home in time to decorate a bit for fall.
Kathysue,
I love your vintage spooner! Do you happen to know the maker and/or the pattern? Great ideas for a non-orange fall!
Thank you Lorie, I have no idea, it might be considered a thumbprint pattern, but I really don't know. Sorry!
