Green, Pale Blue and White:
Do you live in the south like I do and it stays warm well into October? Create a fall transitional palette mixing white pumpkins, dried hydrangeas, green pears, white and blue pumpkins.
Get creative with chalk paint and develop the color scheme you love by painting fall fruits and gourds. Another great investment are velvet, burlap and cloth pumpkins that you can use year after year.
Fall Leaves
Fortunately, red and yellow are primary colors and can be mixed with blues! Adding stems of fall leaves to a vase instantly creates fall decor. Hang them from a chandelier for even more drama.
Pops of Orange Pumpkins and Red Apples
Pumpkins and apples are very inexpensive as a fall decor items. They are easy to find and are long lasting too! Buy some in late September and as long as you don’t carve or cut them they will last for weeks.
Or you can buy plastic and foam pumpkins that never spoil, are carvable, and can be used in a larger variety of areas in your home. The only thing you have to worry about with apples is someone eats them!
Shafts of Wheat and Indian Corn
Pulling from the earth is always a great choice for authentic fall decor ideas. Adding these simple elements to your home can even turn into a DIY project or a simple arrangement that takes just a few minutes.
