If you’re looking for Fall decorating inspiration, you’ve come to the right place!
Do you ever dread decorating for a new season because you feel like you can’t think of any new ideas? Maybe you just skip the seasonal decorating all together for that very reason. Well, I want to let you in on a little design method I use with each new season and every event I plan.
But, before we get started, I wanted to welcome you, if you are here for the Love to BHome in Fall Home Tours and have just come from Love of Home.

Scroll to the bottom for the rest of the home tours!

Ok, so the VERY FIRST step in all design is the brainstorming. You cannot skip this part. You must brain storm. I usually spend a couple of days on this and just jot down the ideas as they come to me.
I think about what goes along with fall. I think about the weather, about the traditional events, about the foods and changes in nature.

Here is my recent brainstorming list:
- Weather- rain, wind, darker skies, cold
- Traditional Events- last picnics and outdoor games, back to school, more time indoors, harvest time, Halloween, turkeys, pheasants
- Foods- soups, apples, hot drinks
- Changes in Nature- pumpkins, mums, falling leaves, acorns
You see, not too hard.
Then, from that list, I started listing specific household items that coincide with the above ideas.

Here is my decoration/ shopping list:
- Weather- boots, umbrellas, sweaters (in this case- sweater pillows), blankets, candles, lanterns, firewood
- Traditional Events- books (vintage), picnic baskets, tennis rackets (vintage), “drop zone” inspired spot with a back to school feel
- Foods- tea kettle, mugs, soup tureens, tea pot, cup and saucer
- Changes in Nature- pheasant feathers, pumpkins (velvet, painted and copper tones), apples, oak leaves, acorns, mums
I show how to make a sweater pillow in my Simple Sweater Pillow Tutorial.
You can learn about my pumpkins in How to Make Velvet Pumpkins.
I had almost the things on my list, so I started collecting and arranging key spots around the house- the front porch, coffee table, piano, wood stove, etc.
See if you can spot the items from my list!
