Harvest & Fall Decorating: 9 Ideas + Fast Design Checklists

It’s harvest season, so we have a bounty of brilliant autumn décor ideas.

Checklist: Harvest Some Quick Décor

Try the 1 + 2 + 3 method; pair any three of our Fall Décor items to get your look going.

• Wreath, swag, & autumnal door mat
• Two topiaries and a wreath
• A garland, a door mat, swag
• Three swags (for windows + door)
• Mirror, wreath, candles dress a console
• Two urns with filler and a fall door mat

 

9 Fresh Fall Decorating Ideas We’re Trying

1. Over a dining room table, weave a garland into an existing iron chandelier away from the lights, for a dramatic effect; we love our handmade Fall Bordeaux Garland, crafted in the USA for a natural look detailed with  faux orange canella berries

2. Use a wreath placed flat on the table as a centerpiece. Flameless Flicker Candles can rise from the center. We also love running a pre-lit garland, like our Pre-lit Bay Leaf Garland, down the center of the dining room table in a gentle, curving manner (see our photo above for this easy but beautiful look)

3. A Lucas Low Planter with greenery is also a dramatic, statement-making centerpiece

4. Lean a wreath against the wall on the top of your bar cart for a festive look

5. Warm the mood; group battery-operated flameless candles in an empty fireplace, or use the space to hold colorful faux greenery wreath on stand.

6. Use a wreath suspended by ribbon or picture wire over a mirror or a large window. Bonus tip: our Candle Rings double as mini-wreaths for smaller windows or mirrors.

7. If you have a staircase, hang swags or wreaths at spaced intervals from the top floor to the main floor. We love the Southern Harvest Greenery Collection swags, with their mini pumpkin embellishment.

8. Tie a wreath onto a bed frame at the foot, or weave garland around bed rails or posts

9. An outdoor garland also looks amazing indoors. Our Southern Harvest Greenery Garland can edge a doorway or be draped it lavishly over a mantel or console table.

Checklist: Unique Autumn Extras We Love

• Our Harvest Moon Collection adds the vivid charm of autumn leaves everywhere
• Our faux hay bales are crafted from durable all-weather PVC so they won’t disintegrate or attract unwelcome little critters. Place them anywhere, from porch to patio – even in your great room for seasonal themed parties. See exactly how we dressed our beautiful door (above) in our Fab Fall Decor video.
• Our Pumpkins and Cabbages Window Box Filler and Mum Window Box Filler look so welcoming outdoors; and indoors, in willow baskets or rustic wood planter boxes
• Create gorgeous settings using vintage ceramic planters you’ve collected mingled with our easy-care Lucas Urns, with their look of aged iron; fill with leaves or gourds
• Hang a few autumn faux greenery swags beneath wall sconces to carry your warm, welcoming harvest theme through the home
