Fall Decorating 101


In honor of fall being a season of change, why not give your home a fresh look?

Here are 3 tips for trading your summer sun decor for fabulous fall looks!

1. Color

Color is characteristic of fall.  Changing leaves, bright colored foods like squash, corn, and apples, and colorful sweaters, scarves, and boots.  Here are a few autumn color palettes by Design Seeds that may help inspire you.

2. Replace your flowers for foliage

Here are some unique ways to use foliage in your home!

3.  Trade "Nautical" for Knotted and Natural Accents.

With fall in our midst, give in to the elegance and charm that nature has to offer.  Although a stick can look just like...a stick, a cluster of sticks can be made into a lovely centerpiece.
