With fall just around the corner, we’ve been talking about fall home decorating ideas such as our post on porch decorating ideas for fall. So when you think about fall, what kind of ideas do you have? What images come to mind? Many people think about the changing of the colors of the leaves or when the leaves begin to fall off the trees. Some people in warm climates may think of an appreciated drop in temperature or finally being able to wear long sleeves again.
Some people think about Halloween and Thanksgiving dinners with the family or fall football season. Whatever fall makes you think of, you can bring those feelings back again and again when you decorate your home for fall.
Here are some fall home decorating ideas you can try in your own home:
* Use deeper colors, earth tones and soft browns to set the tone in your home.
* Move your furniture into small groups for more coziness.
* Add pillows of varying sizes to your furniture and throughout the house.
* Create handmade wreaths and garland (or buy some) to decorate your home.
* Change your window decorations from spring/summer to something more suitable for the new season.
* Plants really set the mood for fall and you can try silk flowers in fall colors as well.
* Decorating with gourds is wonderful this time of year (search for our gourd posts for ideas).
These are just a few fall decorating ideas to get you started. The most important thing to remember is that your fall home decorating should make you feel good. Your home should be a place of comfort and relaxation from the rest of the world. It is also a place you want to bring friends and family to and to enjoy time together. Fall is one of the biggest times of year for people to visit with one another so make your home a great place to be this year.

A Christmas wreath always seems to add the final touch to the front door or any room decor. Here are some ideas for Christmas wreath decorating or how to make your own.
How To Make A Christmas Wreath
If you’re looking at purchasing a traditional Christmas pine wreath they are quite expensive and it seems that every year the price increases. There are some simply ways to decorate or create your Christmas wreath at home, here are some ideas.
Decorate a Picture Wreath
Here’s a great idea: Create a picture wreath. Purchase a simple, undecorated, starter wreath from a local craft supply store. Use your favorite family photos. Take each photo and poke a small hole at the top of each picture, then put a different color ribbon through each photo. Then tie each photo onto the wreath and hang it on your front door. Your friends and family will love to have a look at your family photos and will marvel at how creative you got with your wreath.
Make Your Own Wreath:
Here is what you will need for this project:
- acorns, wire, candy canes, holly, pipe cleaners, can of snow and Christmas tree branches.
Take the wire and form it into a circle. Twist the two ends of the wire around each other to secure the circle. Tie the Christmas tree branches around the wire using the green pipe cleaners. Take candy canes, holly and the acorns and add them to the branches using wire or hot glue from a glue gun. Use the can of snow to spray on the Christmas tree branches. Now you’ve got a beautiful wreath to hang on the front door. Spray the Christmas tree branches with artificial snow. You have just created a beautiful Christmas wreath to hang on your front door.
Make a Popcorn Wreath
Another idea is to make a popcorn wreath with a Christmas photo of your family in the middle. Take some thick thread and string popcorn together. Decide how large you want the wreath so that you can determine how long the popcorn chain should be.
Form a piece of wire into a circle and secure it at both ends. Double up your popcorn chain and wrap it around the wire. Your Christmas family photo can be placed in the center of the wreath.
There’s no limit, you can make animal wreaths with photos of your pets; ornament wreaths, candy wreaths, jingle bell wreaths, Christmas ball wreaths or any kind of Christmas theme you’d like.
There are so many ways to make or decorate your own Christmas wreath you are only limited to your imagination.
