I enjoy the break summer brings from holiday decorating. Red, white and blue pretty much takes care of May through September. But now it’s time to get serious.
I tend to go a bit over-board with Halloween but you can achieve a great Fall look with just a few additions.
Pumpkins and mums establish an Autumn feel.
Mini pumpkins fill in almost anywhere. A bowl or jar of them in a kitchen or dining room makes a tasteful centerpiece.
Candy corns are cheap and easy as a delicious decoration.
Scented candles in Fall colors are visually and aromatically pleasing.
Fall colored and Halloween inspired tablecloths abound. They are easy to find and usually quite affordable.
These ideas don’t require much time to implement so even if you are pressed for time, transforming your home into a cozy Fall retreat is possible.
If you choose to go a few steps beyond the basics, I offer the following suggestions.
 |
| Christopher Radko offers an entire Halloween ornament line. |
Witch shoes attach to chair legs to give the illusion of The Wicked Witch under Dorothy’s house.
This skull table incorporates glitter skulls on plates and hanging from light fixture, black candelabras and a silver sequins runner. Skeleton canape plates rest atop green chargers.
 |
| Dinner guests include a family of glitter skeletons. Masks attached to each dining chair provide guests with entertainment during dinner. |
 |
| Witch hats can be placed anywhere. |
 |
| Fall garland and LED candles make a backdrop for Mr. Bones. |
 |
| Black crows nest among the tree branches in the kitchen light fixture. |
