A Beautiful Mess

Maximalist Mums

Too much fall decor inside can feel a bit cluttered.
To cut down on the cost, you could plan ahead next year andgrow your own mums.

Shades of blue offer an unexpectedmodern twistto the traditional orange pumpkin craze.
However, blue is a complementary color to orange, so they do also look great together.
It’s a great time of year to pull outany vintage collectionsyou have.

Shopping at the flea market for orange and yellow decor is a budget-friendly way to embrace the season.
Thow Pillows Galore
@simple.joy.at.home/ Instagram
We’re big proponents ofswapping out your throw pillow coversseasonally.
For fall, look for throw pillow covers with chunky knits, pumpkin designs, and plaid patterns.
@gilliamhomestead/ Instagram
These little ghosts with patchwork aprons are a perfect example.
They’re also very easy to source and can fit with a variety of decor styles.
Pair your pumpkin pillows with ones shaped like fall leaves and acorns to really lean into the look.

Top it all off with extra throw blankets.
The flatter the better, because it will look like they are melting right into the cozy scene.
A mysterious mask is the perfect accessory during the spookier months.

You don’t need to invest in a giant collection all at once, though.
Source your jack-o-lanterns from a variety of places and add a few to the collection each year.
Pro tip: Fall florals always look great in thrifted baskets.

This is a great option for people who like to decorate a little on the earlier end, too.
Real pumpkins don’t always fare well with September heat.
Plates and Pumpkins
@courtneyfitzp01/ Instagram
Pumpkins make for great tablescape decor.
@simple.joy.at.home/ Instagram
To add some height variance, consider placing some on stacks of vintage plates.
A glass dome or two will further add dimension.
The earlier you decorate with them, the longer you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
@carla.bushey/ Instagram
Dried orange slices look great attached together as a garland or a wreath.
That’s why adding some fall decor to your baking space is a nice little mood booster.
Since kitchen counters are obviously important work spaces, keep the decor to a minimum.
@thehalseyhomestead/ Instagram
For example, put out a special earth-toned mug.
These ones are perfect for stacking.
Adding a few sprigs to a vase can help ground the sweet smell of a pumpkin spice candle.

Plus, the earthy green foliage also looks great next to white and orange pumpkins alike.
Fall-scented potpourri serves as a decor piece that will emit a pleasant fragrance 24/7.
you might purchase a potpourri set, ormake your ownout of your favorite dried flowers.

Or, you’re able to hang these pieces on an already-existing chandelier above your dining room table.
Chances are, you already have everything you need at home to make a banner.
Old book pages make a great base for whatever message you want to share.

For example, glass pumpkins are a fun little nod to Cinderella’s carriage.
In Lieu of Garland

Fall garland can look lovely on a mantle.
If you have a Frame TV above your mantle, you might simply display a new image.

A Limited Palette
@galvanized_chic_boutique/ Instagram
It’s easy to go overboard in the fall decor aisle.
Placing a few limits on yourself will not only encourage some self-control but lead to a beautiful design.
Establishing a limited color palette of just three fall colors can be super helpful.
@lizmariegalvan/ Instagram
Repeat these colors in your throw pillows, artwork, and dried floral arrangements.
Simply press some fall leaves and gather some bare branches from your backyard.
Then, glue on the leaves to the branches and display your craft in a large vase.
@junk_gems/ Instagram
Look for spots around your home that already contain gold touches, and decorate them accordingly.
A mirror or old salvage window also makes a wonderful backdrop for a wreath.
Don’t forget to add a velvet ribbon for a little texture as the finishing touch.
@modernfarmfam/ Instagram
So, consider collecting vintage oil paintings of fall landscapes to display this time of year.
We love this example of displaying pumpkins next to an old bowl collection.
The pumpkins fit perfectly inside the larger bowls.
@courtneyfitzp01/ Instagram
Or, purchase a set from an artist.
Stone Cold Ghosts
@oldetymemarketplace/ Instagram
These little stone ghosts couldn’t be more adorable.
With the right tools, you could turn your rock collection into these playful figurines.
@sable_85/ Instagram
If you don’t want to drill into the rocks, simply apply paint.
Place it next to a few of your other favorite fall decor pieces.
For a playful twist, you’re able to add a witch’s hat to one or two.

Fall Candle Wreaths
@acharmcitylife/ Instagram
Chances are, you tend to light extra candles throughout fall.
Draw more attention to the glow by adding a fall wreath around a candle or two.
After you pick up yours from the grocery store, don’t stow them away in your pantry.
@potejstronielustra/ Instagram
Leave them on display on your counter until you’re ready to put them to good use.
ThisDIY tutorialby A Beautiful Mess is a great guide.
All you need is fluffy yarn, faux flowers, and a hot glue gun.

It looks especially beautiful layered with leaf garland that shows off the same hue.
Make yoursan extra special placeto be by going all out with the autumn decor.
Live and fake pumpkins alike take well to spray paint.
@we_dabble/ Instagram
The best time to decorate for fall is whenever you feel the pull.
We’re big proponents for letting your heart guide you on the timing.
Pumpkins and wreaths are some of the most popular fall decorations.
@ourfrenchcountryfarm/ Instagram
Adding these items to a mantle would add an instant cozy flair to your living room.
Other natural elements, like dried flowers, acorns, and corn stalks, receive honorable mentions.
