I am so happy to share a few DIY fall decor ideas that are inexpensive and easy to do! I keep waiting for the cooler fall weather. It is around the corner, right? But, these hot days are killing me! Nevertheless, it is time to chat about fall decorating ideas. I’m not quite sure where all of my fall decorations are exactly. (Moving really is a process is it not?) Sarah and I have been working on a few fall videos, and she has come up with some really easy and simple ideas that I thought I would share with you today.
I keep a large gray lantern on my fireplace hearth. It really shows up well since painting the brick white. Sarah found some really pretty ribbon at our local craft store. The ribbon has a gray feather with just a touch of gold. I made a large bow and tied it to the top of my lantern. Inside the lantern, I placed a cotton and eucalyptus candle ring. To add a little fall color, I snipped a few pieces of fall flowers from a single floral stem and placed them around the candle-ring. This is a very neutral fall look, but it really turned out beautiful.
In keeping, with a simple and neutral look, we placed three pumpkins on the other side of the fireplace hearth. The three pumpkins were completely different. One pumpkin is a grapevine pumpkin, the other looks like little cut tree branches, and the last pumpkin is a muted green and white color. Here the look is more about texture rather than color.
The last thing we added to the fireplace was a wood beaded garland with small little wood clothespin clips. We took a stem of fall leaves and clipped different colored leaves to each clothespin. This would be a really fun project to do with small children. You could gather real fall leaves, or use faux ones like we did. The natural wood tone of the beads really stood out against the white brick.
I have to say, from someone who has decorated a fireplace with more bright colored fall picks and garland than probably needed, I really like this muted and simple look. And, this is an extremely inexpensive fall decorating design. That is even more appealing!
Look at how beautiful these pumpkins look sitting on pieces of cut wood. Natural, easy and inexpensive. Checks all the boxes!
Well, it may not be very cool outside, but go ahead and do a little fall decorating. It really lifts the mood in anticipation for a wonderful autumn season!
