Early Fall Vignettes With Vintage Decor and Natural Elements

  • Facebook
  • Email

Are you looking for some fall decor inspiration? I’ll share some of my favorite early fall decorating ideas, including fall vignettes and natural elements from last year, and a few new ones as well.

Decorating my home for fall is always a slow process. I take my time packing up all the bright-colored, coastal-inspired summer decor and replace it with a few fall decorations at a time.

Some of my posts contain affiliate links for your convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure.

Fall Vignettes in the Living Room

When creating fall vignettes I try to include warm tones, vintage finds, and a seasonal item or two.

Stacked books or a decorative tray to add both height and interest, are always my first step when creating a vignette.

Apples, pears, and pomegranates make great additions to a fall vignette. You can also use faux fruit and flowers, which look fabulous! Could you tell that these green apples are faux?

Sunflowers are such a great flower for transitioning from summer to early fall and will brighten up any room.

Baskets and wicker trays create a perfect fall vignette.

Vintage pieces bring a fall vignette to a new level.

Vintage Glass Bottles

Glass bottles are one of my favorite vintage items to mix in for a pretty fall vignette. I replaced the coastal summer blues with amber and darker green bottles for fall.

Flowers, Grasses and Branches

I love drying hydrangeas to use in fall vignettes. These blooms were cut towards the end of the summer after turning this amazing color.

Nothing says fall like a galvanized container of faux grasses. Click here for more fun container ideas.

Branches on their own can make for a simple yet interesting fall arrangement.

Cotton stems always make a strong impact. I usually leave them up through winter because I just can’t get enough of them.

Fall Vignettes in the bedroom

Dried hydrangeas and statice come from the garden.

I hope you found some inspiration here from my early fall vignettes and natural elements. This is such a fun time to decorate your home, and it’s easy to do! I look forward to sharing my fall home tour with you soon.

I’d love to hear from you, leave a comment below.

Until next time,

    I love all of your fall decor ideas. I haven’t done much yet. It is still so hot and hard to get in to the fall mentality.
    Congratulations, you are being featured at Thursday Favorite Things. I hope you stop by. https://www.eclecticredbarn.com/2020/09/thursday-favorite-things_9.html

      I’m so glad! I seem to be staying away from orange more and more every year. It’s a tough color for my home because of all the beach colors. I am also the same way about red during Christmas! Thank you for visiting!

    Vignettes are one of my favorite things to create! These are so beautiful, I especially love to incorporate vintage items. Just found a bunch of great things while antiquing on a road trip. I found your blog through the link party and then discovered you are from Lakebay! I live in Oklahoma and have close relatives in Lakebay, as well as Tacoma/Puyallup area. Small world!

      Trust me! A lot of this is from last year. It’s hard to decorate so early when the weather still feels like summer. Wait a second, it is summer! Fall decorating happens earlier and earlier!

    I started changing the summer decor for early fall , taking a break and having a clean slate between summer and fall
    gives me a little rest while waiting for inspiration. ( you shared some great ideas )
    We are experiencing so much smoke from the California fires it just broke my heart to hear the Redwoods are burning the
    camp I went to as a child is gone .
    We have been evacuated three times in the last ten years , wildfires have become part of living in Montana.
    Thank you for your lovely posts today I needed something pretty to get my mind off all that’s going on right now .

      I’m so sorry you’re experiencing such poor air quality due to the fires. I can’t imagine how bad it must be there. I remember the terrible fires we had a couple of years ago in Washington and Canada and we had to wear masks and stay in for weeks. It is heartbreaking to see so much damage in California. I went camping near the Redwoods as a kid myself. It is just so sad. I hope it gets better for you soon Alexis.

I love all of you floral arrangements. Really sets the stage and your coffee is gorgeous! I love the color. Happy Fall decorating, Kim! Have a blessed weekend!

      I wish I could be more of a DIYer and make my pumpkins rather than buy them! If you do make some, I can’t wait to see them!
