Part 2.

One of the simple fall decor ideas is to add seasonal flowers to your home. A close-up view of dried tawny Oakleaf hydrangea flowers along with the large green hydrangea leaves.

This week we are continuing with 10 simple fall decor ideas for a fantastic look. With an emphasis on keeping it SIMPLE and budget-friendly. I am hunting and gathering some natural elements, making sure to bring a bit of the outdoors in. Last week I talked about gourds, autumn wreaths, woven baskets, wood elements, and branches. This week I’m adding the next five ideas starting with some easy-to-find natural elements.

Nothing beats FREE decorating supplies! I hope you are as fortunate as me to be able to hunt and gather in your own backyard or neighborhood. I’m very lucky to live in a neighborhood with massive mature trees. I have access to a few different varieties of oak trees and pine trees. And believe me, when it comes time for fall, I take my daily walk with a brown lunch bag to collect all my findings…acorns, pinecones, and leaves! I have no shame!

One of the simple fall decor ideas is to use acorns. A close-up view of a few large Bur acorns with their fuzzy caps and a few dried fall leaves.

#6 pinecones & acorns

Pinecones and acorns just like gourds, they go with everything! Just a few of them here and there on the windowsill, or shelf, or in a bowl. They add a touch of fall flare without overdoing it! Lucky for me I have kind and wonderful neighbors who don’t mind if I forage for pinecones and pine branches in their yards! And one of the best parts is I can use the pinecones for Christmas decor as well!

One of the simple Fall decor ideas is to add pinecones to your home. A stoneware large bowl with a light green glaze stuffed with freshly collected Whitepine pinecones displayed with dried Fall oak leaves.

#7 Seasonal flowers

Nothing gives you a pop of color like seasonal flowers. But by the time autumn rolls in, my spring planted flowers have pretty much petered out. I have a few sedum blooms and dried hydrangea blossoms left that I like to mix with some store-bought flowers. Again my local grocery store comes in handy! A few sunflowers and mum sprigs mixed with dried pine branches and oak leaf hydrangea leaves from my yard really convey the feel of the new season.

#8 Fruit

Apples are synonymous with FALL to me and since there are no fruit trees lining our local streets, I do have to depend on my nearby grocery store. But what a great deal to buy a bag of apples and use them as a display…they are long-lasting, colorful, and economical. I display mine in a vintage stoneware bowl and a fancy ceramic planter.

#9 Books

I’ll tell you what…new or vintage BOOKS really are a fun display element for me. But for a more cozy autumn look, I go for old vintage books. Their muted colors add such warmth especially if the covers are well-loved and worn. A stack of books can make a great pedestal to display fun fall items.

#10 Vintage

Did someone say VINTAGE? Of course!! I am a lover of vintage treasures, and for me, these special items are perfect for displaying all things fall. I use baskets, wooden bowls, books, stoneware jugs, and bowls. They have an “aged feel” that adds a cozy feel like Grandma’s house. You don’t need to overdo it, just a few pieces can create a homey vibe.

Also displayed are wooden birds, wooden bowls with mini pumpkins, a beehive basket. and a wheat wreath which hangs on the front of the cabinet.
