5 Simple and Cheap Ways to Beautify Your Home This Fall

Fall is hands down my all time favorite time of the year. The smell of the leaves, the crisp fresh quality to the newly born air, and the fact that some of my favorite holidays take place during the season.

Most I know will only decorate their home during the Christmas holiday, but my family changes the interior and the exterior to match with each passing season, and these changes are easily done with a few decorations that we managed to collect over the years.

During the fall months we clear every counter and add festive bits such as small pumpkin, colored dried corn stalks, and festive plaques with fall harvest quotes on them.

The kitchen is especially the main focus of the changes, seeing that it is our largest room, and the room that we have parties and holiday events in.

We like to mix the apple and pumpkin theme up during the fall, as the two mesh really well together and create an adorable fall festive look. Simple touches like cookie jars in the shape of apples or pumpkins, candles the give off fall scents like candy corn, pumpkin or apples is always burning. The scent adds to the appeal.

We also tack up fake fall colored leaf vines to hallway doors.

We do no stop just there though, because we also add to the fall theme by decorating the outside of the home with fall themed object such as scarecrow. We will also poke fake fall flowers into empty flower buckets that once held summer flowers. We don't have to throw out the buckets, and we can use them year after year, all through the seasons.

You can find fall themes outdoor touches at Michael's Craft Store, or AC Moore Craft Store. They always carry a large supply of outdoor decorations.

The best time to go into these craft stores are actually after the season has come to an end, that way you can scoop up some really beautiful decorations for half off; in some cases 75% off.
