With the changing of the leaves and the cooler temperatures, it's the perfect time to spruce up your home decor (get it?). Adding fall wreaths and garlands to your front door, mantel, or staircase is a simple way to do this! Not only do they create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in your home, but they're also budget-friendly and effortless to switch out with each season. To help you put out all the stops this fall season, we've put together this handy guide to give you everything you need to select the perfect fall wreaths and garlands for your home!

Choosing the Perfect Fall Wreath

To start decorating your home for fall, the first thing you should do is choose a wreath that matches your taste and personality. There are a variety of options available, from traditional autumnal colors and natural materials like twigs and dried flowers to more modern and colorful options featuring pumpkins and other autumnal elements. If you're looking for a subtler look, consider a monochromatic wreath featuring shades of one color, like orange or burgundy.

Picking Out Fall Garland

Another easy way to add a touch of fall to your home is by using a fall garland. This is a great option for those who want to create a cohesive look across their home decor. Garland can be used on a mantel, wrapped around a staircase, or hung on a door. You can choose from a variety of materials, including burlap, leaves, and more. Consider selecting garland in colors that complement your existing decor, or opt for a more neutral look with natural elements.

Incorporating Unique Elements

Adding something unique to your wreath and garland can give your decor a personalized touch. Consider adding elements like small lights, acorns, or other natural elements to make your wreath or garland stand out. The possibilities are endless!

Don't Forget About Texture

Incorporate different textures like ribbon or twine into your garland or wreath to add more depth. Additionally, you can use contrasting textures, like pairing smooth berries with rough rustic twigs, to make your decor more interesting.

Using Wreaths and Garland Together

To give your home a stylish look, combine wreaths and garlands with similar colors and elements. Match the colors and elements to create a cohesive and polished look.

By following these tips, you can create a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere to greet everyone who enters your home. Whether you choose to add a wreath to your front door or garland to your mantel, you're sure to create a cozy and inviting ambiance for all to enjoy. Happy decorating!
