Are you Looking for Ways to Ease into Autumn Decor?

Decorating for the autumn season doesn’t;t have to be hard. In fact, it should be easy.

I have been gradually decorating our home for a few weeks now. Because it still feels like summer here I decided to do it gradually. I also was not ready for our entire home to have autumn decor at once. I wanted to ease into the new season

Today I am sharing five ways you can ease into your autumn decor.

Tip #1 – Don’t Feel Rushed

You do not have to change the seasons in your home all at once. Take your time and do it gradually.

As I mentioned, I didn’t want to have my entire home full of autumn decor while it was still 100 degrees outside. So I added some light decor and added a bit more each week. To be completely honest, I haven’t even brought the fall bins down from the attic. So that is the primary reason you only see one pumpkin in our home. I just happened to see this one at TJMaxx and it went straight from the bag to the general store counter in our living room.

Tip #2 – Use What You Have and Add to It

My summer decor this year was inspired by our beach house and I used a lot of aqua and green. I thought it might be fun to add to this decor rather than start over.

So what was my inspiration?

We have a painting over our fireplace that was painted by a dear friend of ours, Ray Turner. If you look closely, you can see the colors are dark brown/black, aqua, and orange highlight. Why not go with that, right?

Tip #3 – Use Fall Florals For Color

Fall is the perfect time of year to add colored branches and florals. They are all gorgeous and I am so in love with the autumn decor foliage that is available this year. (See below.)

I bought these pinkish/orange leaves a few years ago and had them all over my house. These leaves are something each year, when I pull them out, they make me smile knowing for years to come, they will adorn our house.

These maple leaves are new this year and I listed them below. I love the array of colors and they look so great in the light. I still have a ton of fall florals that I need to bring them all out next week.

Tip #4 – Change to Fall Pillow Covers

Most normal people buy new fall pillow covers. Or use ones they already own.

Making your own pillow covers is not that hard, I promise, you can find full instructions here. There are so many amazing decor fabrics to choose from, so I usually make them every season.

I made some sage green burlap pillow covers (from some leftover fabric) and some green pin-striped covers. I made the aqua floral covers earlier for summer.

Tip #5 – Use Metals (Copper) as an Accent

Adding some highlights of copper, brass, gold, or even silver to your home can be great for fall. I absolutely love this copper pot filled with some wonderful fall florals.

I love these vintage chairs which I got from Debra at Debra Hall Lifestyle. Aren’t they amazing?
