When most people think of Fall, they think of lavish colors splashed throughout the trees and cool air requiring long-sleeved shirts before the days actually get colder. This is also a great chance to get innovative within the walls of your own house. You don’t have to break the bank to decorate for Autumn. Here are a few economical decorating ideas:
The first thing to note is that economical is not synonymous with plastic. Why buy something fake when you can purchase the real deal for practically nothing? No matter where you live, small pumpkins and gourds can be purchased for around $5. There is no need to buy one-by-one, since you are likely to get these decorations in groups. Window ledges, counters and shelves all make excellent places where these colorful decorations can be made into centerpieces. They create a rustic, yet homey ambiance that’s great for Autumn.
Multi-colored leaves are likewise effective. These decorations won’t cost you a cent. Simply go outside and take a couple samples. Leaves tend to dehydrate quickly and sometimes curls once they have fallen off the tree. All you need is a little moisturizer to put on each leaf’s front and back and somewhere dry to set it and this issue can be prevented. You can also be assured that, for the entirety of the season, the foliage will keep their color. Any place with a ledge is appropriate to scatter these, or add extra color to the pumpkin and gourd arrangments you’ve already made. If you have a fireplace, this is also a great place to scatter foliage. Another effective and genuine look can come from tree branches.
As October 31st approaches, you can add a little more character if you adore Halloween merely by purchasing a few more tiny pumpkins. Carve out a hole at the top with a little knife so a few budget-friendly black candles can be placed in their centers. Once the lights are dimmed and they are lit, you have got yourself a hand-made candle holder that’s sure to set the mood.
These are just a few of the things you can do to celebrate Autumn and it’s holidays without breaking the bank, and you will certainly create a backdrop that is effectively ambient, all by implementing nature’s own seasonally colorful creations to decorate your own home.
