Today I’m sharing four tips for easy fall decorating. These are simple ideas using natural elements that will bring the best of the fall season to your home, with minimal effort!
Today’s post is part of our Simply Home series (you can see the rest of the series here), and we’re talking fall decorating ideas!
Not only is fall my favorite season, but for me, fall is all about incorporating nature. And the best part about incorporating natural elements is that it’s inexpensive, and probably easier than you think.
So today I’m sharing my four favorite ways to decorate for the season.
All natural. All simple. And all easy. 😉
Use seasonal florals
These antique hydrangeas are one of my favorites flowers! They’re actually fresh, but they evoke the look of the fading and drying hydrangeas you might find in the garden. They combine all my favorite fall shades but in a muted tone, which is probably why I love them so much! And, they’re only available in the fall which makes them even more special. You can see more of this in my Coppery Fall Colors Kitchen Tour.
And mums! Nothing represents fall quite like mums do! I always have some on the porch mixed with some pumpkins for a pretty outdoor display. Autumn’s in the Air Fall Home Tour.
Incorporate Vegetables and Fruits from the Season
Another fall decorating ideas I love is to use fruits and/or vegetables as part of my seasonal decor. And why not? It’s inexpensive, lasts a long time, and you can eat it afterwards! And I love that it’s a natural way of giving a nod to the season without coming on too strong. More at the Warm & Cozy Fall Kitchen Tour.

This fall table setting I did last year is one of my favorites! Using figs and fresh eucalyptus I came up with a table that was unique and also represented the bounty of the season. This can be found in the Thanksgiving Table with Eucalyptus and Figs.
Use Branches and Leaves as Decor
Fresh eucalyptus and leaves foraged in the yard create a beautiful (but easy) mix with pumpkins on the dining room table. And this could stay out all season long! See more at the Warm Fall Colors Home Tour.

Use White or Pale Pumpkins
I love fall, but I must admit I’m not a huge fan of bright orange pumpkins and dark brown decor.
I like a more subtle palette, and white (or pale) pumpkins are the perfect way to incorporate my love of neutral and natural fall decor! From Colors of Fall Living Room Tour.

Hopefully these tips have given you ideas for your own easy fall decorating. By using foraged elements, items from nature, and seasonal flowers you can decorate for fall simply and beautifully!

Nora says
This year I managed to keep the deer away from my hydrangeas so I have some large pale dried blossoms to work with. I am headed in the neutral and natural direction and your ideas will be a big help and inspiration. Thanks for the beautiful photos. Even though big gatherings are unlikely it still boosts the spirits to change up our spaces for the new seasons and keep looking forward.
Sheila says
I so appreciate that Nora, thank you! And I’m so glad you found inspiration here. 🙂
And yes, I couldn’t agree more, even without big gatherings it still fills the soul to make a cozy and beautiful home and embrace the seasons. Happy fall to you!
