Here are some fall-tastic ways to freshen up your interiors for the holiday season.

Autumn Glow

Candles always seem to bring out the best of the holiday season. Whether they are scented or simply add a cheerful glow, candles are a necessity for fall decorating. Line the stairs or put them in jars or bottles for a warm feel of fall. Julia White of Est Est advises her clients to never underestimate the power of smell. She says, “Candles, aromatic sprays, scented oils and even wall plug-ins have these scents that will automatically turn your home into an inviting, fall atmosphere, getting yourself and guests excited for this season.”

Nature Calls

Pine cones connect the comfort of home with nature is simple ways. By sanding the bottom of pine cones and dabbing it with glue, you can top your lamp finial with a harvest savvy look. Pine cones can also be use for place card settings for dinner parties. Kerri Foreman of Vallone Design adds texture to her wall space by placing pine cones in her book cases.

Fall Flowers

Flowers that accentuate the colors of fall are sure to brighten up any room or walkway. Sunflowers and alstromeria are great choices because they'll remain beautiful for up to a week. The trick to keeping them fresh is to change water every few days and remove leaves that fall below the water line.

Edible Accents

Besides carving pumpkins for Halloween, they are a great accent to interiors because they last long, so you can display them through Halloween and Thanksgiving. Foreman of Vallone Design says small pumpkins in large glass containers add that extra holiday spice. Use small pumpkins for table decorations and larger pumpkins for door stops.
