Fall Door Decorations 

From the moment guests arrive at your door,  you want them to experience the warmth of your home, shielding them from the cool of Autumn.  But you also want to greet them with a warm welcome by decorating the outside of your home. And we’re not just talking pumpkins. 

Fall door decorations spruce up the curb appeal outside and help make a positive first impression on your neighbours and guests. 

Decorate the front door with a colourful fall-inspired wreath. Swap out lightweight summery porch furniture with something for fall. Try muted orange or a dusted brown wicker chairs. Lean a broom! The leaning broom is functional for a quick fallen leaf clean-up and a slight nod to Halloween.

 Drape a fall garland around the frame of a window to add a pop of colour. And, of course, decorate fall pumpkins and lay them in your front yard. Try not to make your front yard look like a pumpkin patch yard, but create a natural focal point that leads seamlessly to your front door. You can also decorate with corn, seasonal mums and stalks.

Fall Centrepieces  

You don’t have to spend a ton of money decorating for Autumn. These fall centrepieces are beautiful and budget-friendly additions to your table. 

Fall Guest Bedroom

The fall also marks the beginning of many long holiday weekends. Show your guest bedroom some extra love by transforming the space into a welcoming retreat. 

Start with a light-coloured bed with tons of quilted pillows and shams for an extra touch of warm fall texture. The bed is usually the focus of most bedrooms and helps to determine the rest of the decor. 

Cover summer pillows with wool or velvet. Bring the nature scene inside by switching out art pieces for fall-themed images., Hang pictures of colourful dried leaves or mood-setting sepia photos. Enhance the sensory experience in your guest bedroom by candlelight. Fall scented candles like pumpkin spice, cinnamon, cedarwood, and more create a delightful ambience.  

And finally, more means more! Add extra blankets to the guest bedroom for some extra snuggly appeal. Draped over a chair, rolled up on a bench or some supplementary layers to the bed, another blanket makes for a charming addition to the room.
