It dawned on me recently that fall is a long season of décor. While I love to warm up my home with layers of snuggly blankets, pops of orange, pumpkins and hay bales; after a while I grow tired of it all. After all, I think the stores had the Halloween decorations and candy out some time in August!
So I thought to myself, how can I still change up my décor for the fall season, but not feel like getting rid of all the pumpkins before Halloween even arrives? What will last through Thanksgiving? Then I thought, why not go with a more restrained palette for my fall décor this year and then just add some pops of orange or green to spice things up for a bit?! You know I can't help myself with the pops of color, right?!
Because I am a girl who loves to bring the outdoors inside, I fell in love when I saw this photo on Pinterest. I love the mix of beautiful feathers and twigs. Add in some white pumpkins and vintage books for added interest.
Trust me when I say, you don't have to decorate with orange this fall. This fabulous dining room found on Liz Marie Blog proves that green and white can certainly do the trick too! Think pears...! Of course as autumn continues, it's easy to change the greens to orange. Having a neutral base to work with makes doing so a whole lot easier!
The same holds true for your living spaces too! I love to add pillows and blankets to warm up a room. Craftberry Bush has done just that so perfectly in this sitting room! I especially love the deer pillow, how cute is that? Plaids are super popular this year, so you should be able to pick up some new accessories in this traditional autumn print just about anywhere.
You can also replace some of you summer items with a few twiggy trees and books you can't wait to read by the warmth of a blazing fire for a classic fall feel.
Moving on to your bedroom, because who doesn't like to linger a bit longer under the blankets as the temperatures start to take a dip?! Of course, you already know it's time to switch your bedding to your heavier linens. Adding on soft blankets is a no-brainer, but what about layering what's under your feet? Wouldn't it feel great to step out of bed onto a soft rug? I adore Apartment Therapy, as they never disappoint with their creativity. Here are a few fun ways to cozy up your bedroom for fall, found on their website.
You might be surprised by the brilliant ways you can (re)design your home for fall with a neutral palette and still feel like you are celebrating the season. Be sure to check out my Pinterest board, DECORATE: Neutral Fall Décor for barrels of inspiration!

Renee was a pleasure to work with and has great vision. We were doing a total rehab of a recently purchased property and she was able to look at a gutted out '50s cottage and turn it into a beautiful mid-century modern home. She understood our budget and timeline and was good about narrowing all our options down to just a few choices. This expedited the process, made it less difficult and more enjoyable. Once the rehab is done, we look forward to working with her again and finish the rest of the rooms.
Renee at Mandeville Canyon Interior Design was simply wonderful to work with. She was able to understand what we were looking for in terms of color, function and design from the moment we first spoke. She's easy to work with, goes above and beyond and delivers an outstanding design.
I highly recommend Renee and Mandeville Canyon Interior Design. I don't think I will attempt to decorate another room in my house without the help of Renee!
Love working with Renee and Mandeville Canyon Interior Design ! I had the opportunity to collaborate on a large scale design project recently and the results were fantastic! Creative, resourceful and one of kind design ideas made this design opportunity with Renee "one of a kind" Have a large or small project? You won't be disappointed!!
Renee not only has an amazingly creative eye, she also directed a massive renovation for us this past year that included the challenges of operating during the pandemic. She put together a team that had an incredible work ethic and brought the project in on-time and on-budget. She's a great listener. When we threw ideas at her, she was never dismissive; quite the contrary, she made them better. Her patience, attention to detail combined with her whacky sense of humor meant we were all able to smile while producing a home that we love. A great talent and a great lady.
Rene is amazing! Great customer care and wonderful attention to detail.
