choose a warm color palette

To capture the spirit of fall, start with a warm color palette reminiscent of vintage decor.

Think deep oranges, rustic reds, mustard yellows, and earthy browns.

You can achieve this through throw pillows, blankets, and curtains.

Look for fabrics with classic patterns, such as plaid or floral, to enhance the vintage vibe.

incorporate antique finds

Antique shops, flea markets, and thrift stores are treasure troves for vintage decor.
 
Look for unique pieces that tell a story, such as:
 
  • Old Books: Stack vintage books on your coffee table or use them as pedestals for decorative items.
  • Glass Jars: Use mason jars or vintage glass containers to hold seasonal items like acorns, pinecones, or mini pumpkins.
  • Candlesticks: Brass or wrought iron candlesticks bring a touch of elegance. Add warm-hued candles for a cozy glow.

layer textures

Creating a vintage fall atmosphere is all about layering textures.
 
Mix and match materials like burlap, lace, and knitted fabrics.
 
Drape a knitted throw over a vintage armchair, or use a lace tablecloth with a rustic wooden table.
 
This not only adds visual interest but also invites warmth and comfort.

display seasonal decor

Embrace seasonal decor with a vintage twist. Here are some ideas:
 
  • Pumpkins: Opt for a mix of real and faux pumpkins in various shapes and sizes. Vintage-style ceramic or metal pumpkins can add an artistic touch.
  • Wreaths: Create or buy a vintage-inspired wreath made from dried flowers, leaves, or even fabric scraps. Hang it on your front door or above a fireplace.
  • Artwork: Frame vintage botanical prints or autumn-themed art. You can often find these at flea markets or online marketplaces.

add vintage lighting

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a warm ambiance.
 
Consider vintage-inspired lamps or string lights.
 
A classic hurricane lantern or an antique chandelier can instantly elevate your fall decor while providing that cozy glow essential for chilly evenings.

Finally, don’t forget to bring the outdoors in.

Incorporate natural elements like branches, dried leaves, and pinecones.

A vintage basket filled with these items can serve as a lovely centerpiece, adding organic charm to your home.

I am the designer, writer and diy’er behind this blog. I enjoy decorating my home for practically nothing by doing most of the work myself, finding new and imaginative ways to make it beautiful and by watching for killer sales. I find humor almost anywhere and can laugh at myself through it all. I have learned that most projects don’t go exactly as intended, but can be more beautiful than the original plan.
