Using Simple Decor to Add Fall Touches to Your Home

It’s finally that time, as days get shorter to cozy your home with simple touches for Fall.  I like to use pieces that I already own in new ways during holidays so create simple warm & cozy displays that bring the fall season indoors.

Using 10 types of objects, I created one mantle 3 simple ways to give so design ideas and also used similar objects for a fall buffet display.

Here’s a list of the 10 things I collected before I started decorating:

1. Books ( I almost always use books in my displays to add both horizontal and vertical elements and to make other elements taller)
2. Candlesticks
3. Small pumpkins
4. Antlers
5. Stems or Leafs (Faux, bought, or found – mine were from a Magnolia Tree in my yard)
6. Containers
7. Framed Pictures
8. Candleholders, jar candles
9. Glass bottles (I used Amber for fall but use a lot of clear ones too)
10. Wooden stands

Most of these items I have collected over the years from antique and thrift stores, were handled down to me, or were found objects.

For our fall buffet display, I cleared everything off and found larger books to complement the scale of the piece. I collected 3 Amber glass bottles in a wire basket to keep it airy and simple and used a Magnolia stem from my yard in one of them for height. I finished it off with 2 simple white pumpkins I picked up at Kroger for $1.25 each. This display set me back $2.50, proving that changing up what you have for seasonal decorating can be affordable.

I’ve had these metal candlesticks forever (not silver so they don’t require polishing).

Here I used my son’s silhouette from when he was young and the green container on the right was my grandmother’s.

I found this framed picture at an antique store and picked it up inexpensively to use in displays.
