Fall Decorating Ideas

Small Doses, Large Impact
Use an expensive fabric in small amounts like on pillows, table runners, valances, in frames as artwork or pulled taut over a large canvas stretcher frame to beautifully fill a wall.

Be Strategic when AccessorizingThink of the frame style you want (all silver, gold, wood, mixed metals, etc.) and focus on that when shopping or providing gift ideas. Are you into large or small accessories? Do you have items tucked away that could be used in a new way or in a new location? Do you love everything you have out? If not, pass it on to make breathing room or for something new. Being strategic keeps you from buying on whims and collecting a bunch of disparate items that won't bring enjoyment for years. You won't spend money foolishly and for items that don't make the cut for long.


Spicy Orange Accessories

Vibrant orange is visible in many elements in this cozy yet bright living space. Combine orange paint, art and furnishings with subdued yellows and browns to create an eclectic and lively fall color palette that will have you feeling right at home.

Make Inexpensive Artwork
Create your own art by framing unexpected items. Consider things like calendars, postcards, cards, your kids' artwork, pressed flowers, seashells, a necklace, thrift-store finds, buttons, trip mementos, concert tickets, baby clothes, foreign currency, etc.
Go for Big (Not Broke)If you have a large expanse of blank wall space, it could cost less to hang one large piece of artwork rather than several smaller items.
