7 Festive Fall Decoration Ideas On A Budget
Intro
If you’re on a tight budget, you might think that it is impossible to decorate your home for fall in an elegant way. However, there are many simple things that can be done, and you will end up with a beautiful fall atmosphere without spending hundreds of dollars. In this article, we offer a few ideas for festive fall decorations on a budget.
1. Use pumpkins as centerpieces
Pumpkins are perfect to use as table centerpieces or anywhere else in the house – they give off a warm feeling and the orange color works really well for the season of autumn. You can get some nice pumps that won’t cost very much at different grocery stores or even farmer’s markets. At home, you will only need to wash and clean them and then place them at strategic spots around your house. If you want to add something special or unique, get a knife and carve out some nice patterns on the pumpkins or paint them with different colors – this will give off an even more festive atmosphere in your home.
2. Fall wreaths for the front door
Wreaths are a beautiful addition that works well with any season of the year. However, if you’re looking for something special designed specifically for fall, there are plenty to choose from. For example, you can find interesting designs made from berries, leaves and other material from nature which gives off a very warm feeling when guests arrive at your home.
3. Get the help of your kids
It’s always fun to make decorations for the festivities with your kids and you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars in order to do so – there are plenty of things that you can do at home that won’t cost more than a few dollars. For example, you can use some paper or fabric and cut out different shapes (for example, leaves) and then hang them around the house – they will add a colorful feeling to the interior while also being decently priced. However, if you want something fancier and more durable, you could also take a look at washi tape designs as well as other decorations made from paper or fabric which will look good while remaining affordable.
4. Wall decals and stickers
There are tons of wall decals and stickers that you can get for relatively inexpensive prices – as an example, you could take a look at some forest-themed decals with autumn leaves to add a festive feeling without spending too much money. Another great idea is to find fall-inspired quotes that you could put up on your walls in different rooms – if the quote will apply well to your situation, it’s going to make a huge difference when guests come over and they will feel more welcome as well. These wall decorations can be purchased at stores or even online and are easy to affix through the use of double-sided tape or some other adhesive.
5. Create a focal point with fall leaves
One of the best ideas for creating a festive atmosphere without spending too much money is to take some nice autumn leaves (or even just any kind of leaf that you want) and place them in empty glass vases. These make great additions to corners or they can be used as centerpieces on tables when your guests come over – they will instantly feel warm and welcome because of this simple touch. If you really want to go all the way, purchase a few candles as well which will give off an even more beautiful atmosphere once the candles are lit up inside the vase. Furthermore, if you have guests coming over, it’s always good to have something else planned for an extra special touch. For example, if you have someone who’s a professional chef coming over, why not ask them to make some home-cooked meals with the best ingredients which will create an even more happy and comfortable feeling around that time when everyone gathers together?
6. Add some nice Décor to the mantle
The mantle is one of the best places to add a festive touch to your home around this time in autumn – you can still use several of the aforementioned ideas here as well. For example, if you want something simple and elegant then it’s always good to go with candles that are placed on a nice table or shelf. You could even buy some battery-operated candles online which will look great while also being safe because they aren’t real fire that people have to be careful with. Another idea for creating warmth in this place is by using pictures from past holidays or gatherings as decorations – if there are any special moments from previous years that you have, why not make them into small posters and hang them on the mantle?
7. Use Autumnal Colors
The colors that are most prominent in autumn are red, orange, yellow and brown – you can use this to your advantage when decorating for the holidays. For example, what if you throw some accent pillows on the furniture or couch? The colors will be noticeable while also adding a bit of festiveness to your home without breaking the bank. Another great idea is to get one of those colorful throws which you could wrap around the sofa in order to add extra warmth – just make sure that it fits well with the interior design of your house as sometimes people try too hard and end up getting something that doesn’t seem quite right; at times like these, simpler is better.
