Fall Decorating Ideas – Southern Hospitality

Fall is officially here, so I put my summer decor away and brought out a few fall things. I try to mix it up each year, since I use my things over and over again. I don’t go out and buy all new but use what I have in clever ways. I try not to go overboard, but it’s nice when the season starts cooling down, to bring a bit of that feel inside the house. The colors of fall are so warm and welcoming and it makes the house feel good too. Come along for some fall decorating ideas!

I start on the front porch with simple black lanterns filled with orange pumpkins and a pretty fall bow.

This year, I filled my door basket with some fall materials I had around and added another pretty fall bow. Simple and easy!

The living room is easy. I just add something in a vase and add a couple of fall decor items and call it done.

I was given this cute blue owl a few years ago and it fits perfectly for a fall accent. The vase is cute and textural and those faux berry picks are a fun fall touch. That brown bowl is one I made in pottery class when I lived in Birmingham and I still have a couple of them. I love the colors, perfect for fall!

Just a touch of fall on this glass table is perfect.

I kept the foyer table minimal this year, with just a few fall accents in place.

Those white pumpkins under glass always make me happy to see.

I layered them on top of a faux green wreath that’s very textural.

Hello Fall sign, with some preserved oak leaves and that cute little oil painting I picked up years ago in Round Top, TX really say fall to me.

Another look at the faux white pumpkins sitting on a white cakestand. These are my favorite ways to decorate, using what I have.

These 2 pottery pieces look like they came together, but they didn’t. I can’t even remember where I got that bowl with the leaf, but it’s beautiful with this pottery piece that I’m sure came from a long ago yardsale. I just added some tall textural sticks inside the vase.

Moving to the dining room, setting the table for fall is something I look forward to. I have all these dried limelight hydrangeas so they make a beautiful centerpiece with their soft green shade.

I’ve never used them in this basket before, but I love the mix. I picked up that basket at Kohl’s a couple of years ago and love it. The round basket came from Homegoods years ago and I sure get a lot of mileage out of it.

My table setting is a set of fall hued dishes that I’ve had forever (from Homegoods again), along with some brown and white transferware I bought from a reader in Birmingham ages ago. I like to pull them out this time of year. Those placemats I’ve had forever too. The black faux bamboo flatware came from Wayfair and I’ll link what I can below.

A fall runner on both the table and sideboard is simple but pretty.

I still love these bamboo lanterns I got from HSN, but sadly they are no longer available. I found a set that’s similar that I’ll link from Wayfair. Mine are the same size, but these are 2 sizes.

I love a pretty table, don’t you? We enjoy seeing a set table for the seasons, even Mark likes it set.

It sure feels fall around here now.

I love this glass vase I’ve had so long and filled it with dried hydrangeas too. They sure make a perfect fall flower display.

A peek at the whole dining room from the stairs. That rug is one I still love and I’ll link it here from Esale Rugs.

Keeping it simple on the mantel, a blue print along with colorful orange leaves in blue and white is all that’s needed.

I like to keep things fairly simple for most seasonal decorating. I’m still enjoying those Staffordshire dogs my MIL passed on to me. Still loving those gold sconces too that I put up, wireless and rechargeable lightbulbs. They are on sale right now for $69 a pair, which is a great deal.

And that’s it for my fall decor this year, hope you got inspired to do a little around your house too. It will be Christmas and the holidays before we can blink and I’m not ready for that yet! I’ll enjoy these fall touches for several more weeks. Have a great week!
