Inspiration
My inspiration for this year’s fall decor comes from the colours of nature seen all around us in fall. This year I’m drawn to the neutral hues of beige grasses and brown oak leaves. However, I couldn’t ignore the beautiful bursts of colour from sunflowers and fall mums. As a result, I have used a combination of more muted colours with a few pops of bright colour. Most of our living spaces are neutral though I sprinkled some vibrant hues on our porch and in our kitchen. Somehow those seem like appropriate places to embrace vibrancy.

I also have many fall crafts and tutorials for you to decorate your home economically with a handmade touch.
Nature-Inspired Fall Home Tour: Front Porch
I decorated our tiny front porch in shades of yellow, orange, and black. You can see more photos of our porch and inspiration in my post, Create An Inviting Front Porch For Fall. I wanted to create a cheerful vignette for neighbours who pass by our home and to our visitors. I’m a piano teacher and like to have a welcoming front entry for my students. Our front porch decor highlights the beauty of a fall garden, rich with sunflowers, mums, and cool-weather plants.
Front Hall
For the front hall, I added a cozy seating area using shades of grey, terra cotta, blue, and white. I found the IKEA seat bench at a thrift store and gave it an upholstered makeover. I styled this area with a beautiful wood sign from KT Inspired Home, a blanket ladder and blankets , a potted snake plant, and a few fabric pumpkins for fall. The tutorial for the fabric pumpkins can be found. Alternatively, you can purchase the completed pumpkins from my Etsy shop. I used natural materials in this space- solid wood, a snake plant, and cotton, linen, and silk fabrics.
Living Room
I wanted the living room to retain its light and airy quality so I added only a few touches for fall in shades of cream and terra cotta. I carried over the beige and grey-blue tones from our summer decor as they are my signature colours. Additionally, they coordinate beautifully with cream and terra cotta. We have a big wool rug in this space which tends to add warmth and enhance the cozy factor.
