Fall is my favorite season. Fall Caroline is the best Caroline, truly. If you are anything like me then, its really hard to make it past the Target Dollar spot this time of year. I mean, there is some really cute stuff in there. You don’t have to buy more things to make youre house feel like fall. Here are six clutter free ideas to make your home feel like fall:

1. Light a candle.

2. Bring the outdoors in.

   Here I clipped a few magnolia limbs and stuck them in a glass vase. Emily Clark mentions using a chunky vase or vessel here and did a great round up of those options. Either way, clip some berry branches or warm muted tone leaafy limbs and stick them in a vessel. Done!

3. Layer up your seating areas with throw and blankets.

   I love putting blankets everywhere during this time of year. Its such an easy way to create a cozy and inviting environment. You can use cozy wraps at the end of the bed, over sofas and chairs, or draped out of baskets.

4. Simmer fall scents on the stove.

My favorite version of the fall simmer pot is a clementine or orange rind in a small pot covered with water with a heavy sprinkle of cloves and cinnamon. You can also add apples or nutmeg.

5. Use seasonal fall fruit as a centerpiece.

Think pears, apples, pumpins, butternut squash, or clementines. Place them in a decorative bowl and wah-lah! you have a centerpiece that you can eat, see and enjoy.

6. Set the table.

I love this simple approach to fall decorating. Its easy to add color and texture just by using flatware and linens that you already have.

Which of these 6 clutter free fall decorating ideas will you try? I look forward to seeing fall in your home and sharing bit and pieces of my own. Happy Fall Y’all!

PS - Here is a peak at our flip house in fall 2014. So fun to see the same approaches still running through.
