Fall is here and in most of the country that involves a change in temperature, outdoor activities and the beginnings of the holiday season. Most of us don't have time for a total home transformation. However, with just a few items added to your home, you can bring the fall outdoor spirit into your living space.
You don�t have to decorate your home with pumpkins or flying bats to bring the fall season indoors. Any natural thing from chrysanthemums and asters to gourds, leaves or bowls of nuts can give your home a lift. Since the fall flowers come in every shade imaginable you can chose between the bright yellows and oranges or the softer plums, lavenders and burgundies. There�s nothing better for prolonging the summer. If you don�t want to care for flowers, try dried grasses or hydrangeas or even the humble straw flowers. They all add a temporary lift to your decor.
For those with allergies, bringing live or dried plants into the home can be a problem. Take a trip to your local garden center and look at the colors and then go off to your favorite accessory stores and buy pillows and throws that will bring those colors inside. You�ll appreciate their warmth and color as the days darken and the temperatures drop.
