Blooms with a BOO!

Want to have an autumn that feels like a movie? Decorate your home with all things orange, create an atmosphere with dimmed lighting and sweet aromas, and set your table with a lovely arrangement that reflects the colors of the season. Bring the charm of the season to life by taking part in autumnal activities and doing your own spin on our tips for decorating!

Decorate Your Porch or Entryway

Make your entryway awe-worthy with a few simple touches! Include baskets, mums, small bundles of hay, or simple Halloween decorations to make it special. Only have a limited amount of space? Hang a wreath on your door, or pin a few things to hang from the ceiling! 

If you’re not into cheesy scary decorations when spooky season comes around, opt for using fall colors like orange, red, yellow, or even sage green in your porch or entryway decor. If you prefer a chic atmosphere, gather pumpkins of various colors and sizes and arrange them on your steps, balcony, windowsills, or anywhere that can make an impact. To brighten up your space, take a few battery-powered candles and place them among pumpkins or inside lanterns. Place mums inside woven baskets or planters to pull the look together! Don’t forget a welcome mat to catch all those crunchy leaves.

Bring the Warm Colors Indoors

Autumn provides such a rich color palette, why not bring it inside! Gather leaves from the park or your yard and paste them on your windows, on the sides of jars or vases, scattered on a table, or inside a decorative bowl. On your mantle or a shelf, put up some string lights with a few pinecones, leafy garland, or orange and red ribbon to add a fun but simple detail. Dig out the long wax candles and candelabras to bring a classic spooky feeling to life!

Prefer a more literal Halloween decoration style? Cut black construction paper in the shape of bats and hang them from fishing wire or tape them to your walls! Hang hats or battery-powered candle sticks from the ceiling to give them a floating appearance. Drape spider webs made of yarn over mirrors, paint a jack-o-lantern face on some pumpkins or orange balloons, and rely on ambient lighting to create an atmosphere.

Set Your Table

Embellish your table with autumnal blooms! Get an arrangement from a local florist (link) and host a lovely get-together. Decorate your buffet tables, hutches, or any cabinet with pumpkins, candles, flowers, garland, or trinkets. Purchase a flower centerpiece or work together with a florist to make a custom arrangement that suits your style! Stay chic and classic with a few unique and special items, or go all out with a table full of decorations. Incorporate cream, orange, yellow, maroon, or black colors in your place settings to emphasize the warm color palette.

Autumn Activities

The autumn season induces a certain charm that makes you want to go outside to see the trees change colors, try new recipes, and watch movies that will either leave you feeling frightened or comforted. While the pumpkin patches are open for the season, take a stroll through the isles and pick out a few! Dress in denim, corduroy, or suede and finally break out a pair of boots to pair with a light jacket. Throw spices and orange slices together to make a simmer pot to fill your home with a sweet smell. Bake apple pies with elaborate lattice work or make a pumpkin loaf and share it with a neighbor. There are so many cozy things to do in the fall that will give you a storybook feeling!
