Well, we are a week into October and I am in full fall decorating mode! I never used to decorate when the weather was still warm, but I wanted to share a bit of fall inspiration with you, so I am starting early this year! Today, I’m bringing you 4 simple fall decorating ideas for any room, that will elevate your seasonal decor and make your home beautiful.

Choose 2 -3 Colors To Highlight

In previous years, I took out all of my orange pumpkins and fall leaves and sprinkled them around the house for fall. It never really occurred to me that I could use a different palette to create my own “fall colors”. Then a few years ago, I tried something new. I chose 2-3 colors to use for fall that were not traditional and this simple idea forever changed how I decorate.

I still used pumpkins and branches, but not in bright oranges and reds. Instead, I brought in colors that worked better in my home and integrated with my existing decor. The result was beautiful fall decor in colors that I truly love. This year, I have been drawn to warm wheat tones mixed with soft blues and some coppery browns for my autumn decorating. This is a change from last year when I used mostly whites and soft greens throughout the house.

I wanted to use colors that would blend well with my existing furniture and decor, yet still speak to the colors of the season. I reused several pieces I already owned and added a few new fall-inspired items in the colors I wanted to highlight. By being selective in the colors I displayed it brought a cohesive look to my living room and is a reflection of what I love. Try this simple idea for fall decorating and see how it transforms your home! Create A Centerpiece Vignette

A great way to highlight your fall palette is to create a centerpiece vignette on a table, mantle or sideboard. One of my favorite areas to incorporate seasonal decor is the large table behind our living room sofa. This space allows me to create a beautiful seasonal display that accentuates the color palette I’ve chosen.

It may seem intimidating to create an oversized vignette, but with a few simple principals it’s really quite easy. For this vignette, I used a few natural wheat elements along with some of the blue and coppery brown colors I chose for fall.

I created layers in both height and depth and used various sizes and shapes to add interest to this vignette.

Repeat Colors Throughout The Room

To bring the colors of the vignette into the room, I added some pillows to the couches that contain the same colors. I love the warm browns mixed with soft blues.

I added an additional fall element on the coffee table by filling a dough bowl with wicker and
