Fall décor tips or ideas

August 31, 2012

Are you ready for beautiful fall foliage, crisp cool air and spicy apple cider? Here are a few decorating ideas to help bring autumn to your new Main Street home. For the door Fall garland and wreaths are as welcoming to your guests as they are of the season. Classical wreaths made of dried husk and colorful berries hung with satin ribbon are the perfect way to begin fall decorating at new homes in Dinwiddie VA. Whether you string together a whimsical garland of miniature gourds or a traditional strand of dried corn, these garlands are iconic of the season. For the mantle Create original art by painting your favorite quote or fall symbols like leaves, pumpkins or trees on reclaimed wood to hang above your fireplace. You can find this fall décor trend everywhere from Pottery Barn to Pinterest so why not bring it to new homes in Dinwiddie VA? Top your mantle with colored pillar and taper candles in purple, chocolate, rust red and gold. Finish the look with recycled glass vases in a warm amber shade. For the table Add a little fall to each place setting by hand crafting acorn napkin rings. Let the kids help you collect a handful of acorns for each ring needed then string them together after you drill tiny wholes through each piece. Create a chic centerpiece by layering dried beans in glass vases. Add a stem of red or orange berries for more visual interest. For the room Introduce warm fall colors on the wall, by layering a new rug, or by updating your pillows or drapes in new homes in Dinwiddie VA. Sherwin Williams has a fun smart phone app that allows you to snap a photo of that perfect accessory you’ve found, then match it to a paint color for your walls! It even suggest complimentary shades if you’re not quite ready for pumpkin orange in such a large dose! For outside When your summer planters begin to wither trade out your traditional fall flowering pots this year with harvest bounty! Fill your planters with an arrangement of gourds, winter squash, Indian corn, and small pumpkins. These fun, colorful planters may not need watering but they’re sure to make a splash on the porch of new homes in Dinwiddie VA.
