Fall Decorating Ideas Our Real Estate Agents in Napa, CA Recommend
Walkways, entries, and mantles are the most popular locations for displaying autumn-themed decorations. You can use pumpkins, fall foliage, gourds, and pinecones in countless configurations to build one-of-a-kind creations your family and neighbors will love.
- Cute miniature pumpkins are great for centerpieces, but for something a little different, turn them into a fall wreath to hang on the front door or lean against the back of the fireplace. The cream-colored variants provide a more modern look, but you can never go wrong with the traditional orange versions!
- Create a pinecone garland that incorporates fresh greenery, magnolias, and other fall blooms. The larger the pinecones, the faster the project will go. Remember to remove the flowers and greens before storing the garland during the off-season.
- Larger pumpkins and gourds placed on front entry steps and porches add loads of curb appeal. Scatter some colorful fall leaves around them for an instant warm welcome. Or try upping the game with “mumkins.” Simply hollow out several of the pumpkins and fill them with fall plantings like golden chrysanthemums and pansies!
- Use golden and green apples to create a stunning dining room centerpiece. For a totally edible ending to an autumn dinner, use mixed nuts, hard cheeses, and chocolates to compliment the fruit.
Not all your decorations need to be nature-based. Autumn-themed tea towels, felt pumpkin garlands, and vibrant fall floral doormats are all great choices to carry you through the entire season. And one of the easiest ways to add charm and coziness to your Napa home is to pair fall-colored and embroidered pillows and warm blankets in the living room and den as well as on the front porch or back deck.
