Hi, it's Lindsay Diane from

In this video, we're going to talk about
0:09
the top five classic fall decor themes.
0:14
Seasonal decorating is a great way to
0:17
refresh your home and showcase your
0:19
unique style. It's also a good time to
0:22
test out some of the more trendy colors,
0:24
decorative accents, and even home decor
0:27
styles for a while. But no matter the
0:30
current trends, there are certain fall
0:32
decor themes that will always be classic
0:35
and will never go out of style. So, in
0:38
this video, we're going to dive into
0:40
those top five fall decor themes and
0:44
we'll talk about how you can incorporate
0:46
those in your home this fall. Let's get
0:48
started. Number one is the harvest
0:51
theme. Now, this theme revolves around
0:54
the idea of the fall harvest. So, we're
0:56
harvesting crops. Think about things
0:59
like corn, scarecrows,
1:02
um, wheat stalks, things like this that
1:06
we see in the fall time during the
1:08
harvest season. Look at those elements
1:11
and think about bringing those into your
1:13
home. Some things that are really
1:15
popular are to use like pumpkins and hay
1:18
bales on your front porch. You can also
1:21
use corn stalks to adorn your pillars or
1:25
either place them on either side of your
1:27
front doorway as a nice welcome to the
1:30
season for guests that are coming by.
1:33
Another way to use these is to set up a
1:37
centerpiece or decorate a console table
1:39
or an entryway table with mini hay bales
1:43
with pumpkins or a little wagon or a
1:46
little truck. These are really cute ways
1:49
to bring in this harvest theme into your
1:53
home. This is a theme that is never
1:56
going to go out of style. It's a
1:57
classic. And one of those reasons is
2:00
because of Thanksgiving and it revolving
2:02
around the idea of harvesting these
2:05
crops and having this grand feast. So
2:08
you you'll never see the harvest theme
2:10
go out of style. We see it in businesses
2:13
and commercial buildings as well as in
2:15
residential homes. You don't have to
2:18
pigeon hole yourself to just, you know,
2:21
harvest signs, right? Think about the
2:23
elements that we harvest and start to
2:25
bring some of those into your home as
2:27
decor and you can't go wrong. Number two
2:30
is fall flora. So, these are the florals
2:34
and the stems that we see in the fall
2:37
time. This is arguably the most commonly
2:41
used fall decorating theme. Here you're
2:44
seeing things like maple leaves and
2:47
sunflowers.
2:48
We see lots of mums and hydrangeas as
2:52
well during the fall. If you like those
2:55
traditional autumn colors like orange,
2:57
red, brown, and yellow, incorporating
3:00
the fall flora theme is a great way to
3:04
get those colors into your home. It's
3:06
very easy. You're going to see them
3:08
appear in garland. You're going to see
3:09
them appear in floral stems that you can
3:12
put into arrangements on your table. You
3:15
can see um you know prints of fall flora
3:20
on table runners and uh symbolized in
3:24
little trivets and napkins and
3:26
dishcloths. It's everywhere and it's not
3:29
going anywhere because again this is a
3:31
classic theme that we see because it's
3:34
representing the nature that we see
3:36
around us during the fall time and
3:38
that's always going to be there. So fall
3:40
flora with these colors is a classic
3:43
fall decorating theme.
3:46
Number three are fall foods. So here
3:50
we're thinking about pumpkins, gourds,
3:54
squash, apples. These foods are
3:57
prevalent in the fall time. Corn as
4:00
well. And you are going to see these
4:03
represented in decor during the fall
4:06
time. These are classics. They're always
4:08
going to be here just like the fall
4:10
flowers. You are going to see these fall
4:14
foods. And you can incorporate these
4:17
into some of your centerpieces or your
4:20
decorative vignettes throughout your
4:22
home to bring in that seasonal charm.
4:25
Whether you place them on an entryway
4:27
table, countertop, or doorstep, pumpkins
4:31
and gourds are super versatile. This is
4:34
because they come in a huge range of
4:36
sizes and colors. Moreover, pumpkins can
4:40
be used indoors and outdoors, and they
4:43
can be painted, they can be covered in
4:46
fabric, they can be carved, they can be
4:49
illuminated. There's just so much that
4:51
you can do with a pumpkin for decor. So,
4:55
think about using the fall foods as your
4:58
theme to guide you through your seasonal
5:00
decorating. Next up is buffalo check.
5:04
The classic black and white buffalo
5:06
check is a popular theme to bring into
5:10
your home for fall. You can find this
5:13
pattern in table runners, tablecloths,
5:17
napkins, blankets,
5:20
um bedding. You can use pillow covers to
5:25
update, you know, your sofa and your
5:26
decorative pillows. Buffalo check is
5:29
really versatile because you're going to
5:31
see it in just about any textile that
5:34
you can think of. And so, splashing this
5:37
into your home as a decorative accessory
5:40
is a really quick and easy way to update
5:42
your home for the season and keep in
5:45
with that fall theme. This pattern is
5:49
cozy and classic. So, if you're feeling
5:52
in need of a little extra comfort or
5:55
security at home, think about layering
5:58
in some buffalo check decor to bring
6:01
that cozy feeling into your home. And
6:04
last but not least is the gather theme.
6:08
Now, the gather theme goes beyond simply
6:11
placing a sign that says gather on a
6:14
shelf. It's about shaping your home to
6:17
encourage connection. The fall and
6:19
winter seasons are all about gathering
6:22
people together to celebrate at the end
6:25
of the year. And fall naturally brings
6:28
people together. Whether it's for a
6:30
Thanksgiving dinner or casual
6:32
gettogethers, there's, you know,
6:34
football, there's cozy nights at home
6:37
because the weather is just a little too
6:39
chilly to be hanging out outside. There
6:42
are a lot of reasons to gather inside
6:44
during the fall time and highlighting
6:47
gathering spaces with seasonal touches
6:50
makes them feel even more inviting and
6:52
it reminds guests to slow down and sort
6:54
of stay for a while. Think less about
6:57
sprinkling garlands and you know
7:00
centerpieces all over your home and
7:02
think more about enhancing the spots
7:05
where people naturally tend to linger.
7:08
So, for instance, a reading nook draped
7:11
with a plaid throw or a beverage station
7:15
styled with fall mugs and spices or a
7:18
fire pit that's surrounded with nice
7:20
warm flannel blankets. You can mix and
7:23
match some of the other fall decor
7:27
themes to bring a coziness into your
7:30
gathering spaces and let this be the
7:33
vehicle by which you bring fall into
7:36
your home. When you bring seasonal decor
7:38
to these areas, you're not just
7:40
decorating. You're leaving little
7:42
invitations to your family and friends
7:45
to pause, relax, and enjoy these
7:48
seasonal times together. Those are the
7:51
top five fall decorating themes. These
7:55
are classics. They will always be
7:57
relevant and they will always be in
7:59
style. I thank you so much for watching.
