Do I see signs of Fall in the air? It seems that cooler weather is on its way, and before you know it the leaves will be turning to display the beautiful colors of the season. It is also a sign for us to think about readying our homes for the soon to be Holiday Season.
The colors of the season can be brought into the décor of our homes in so many different ways. From the beautiful reds, oranges, greens and plums of the fruit on the table to the deep rust, pumpkin and cranberry in the pillows and throws on the sofa and beds – we can pull the colors of fall into any room.
As the days grow shorter we can bring light into rooms by strategically placing lamps on tables and shelves. A little candlelight here and there will add ambiance to the room as well.
A welcoming wreath on the front door is a must. Fill it with beautifully colored leaves, acorns and gourds. And, don’t stop at the front door with these colorful bounties. They can be displayed on the fireplace mantel, bookcases and tables.
As Thanksgiving approaches think about displaying pumpkins on the front porch or beautifully arranged on the dining room table. Add the smell of the season with candles in scents of Pumpkin Pie Spice, Vanilla, Cinnamon Spice,
Walnut, Banana Nut Bread and Cranberry Spice to name a few.
The cooler weather draws us to our patios also. Why not adorn the tables with trays of fall foliage and color.
Candles are also nice to add just a hint of romance. By displaying these items on a tray they can easily be moved inside in case of inclement weather. Then they can be moved back outside as soon as the weather clears.
Don’t be in a hurry to bring out the Christmas tree just yet. We will talk about that next month. Enjoy the beauty of nature and all that she has to offer in the colorful autumn of the year.
