Fall is considered the "last hoorah" before the bitter cold days of winter arrive. Football and fallen leaves are what many think of during this time, but there are a number of other things you can do to your home and landscape to add ambiance for your Holiday celebrations. You should consider how you can use color, fabric, and decorative arrangements and centerpieces to add the feeling of Autumn to your home.

Warm Colors for the Chilly Air - Replace the lighter brighter colors, sheer drapery and lace tablecloth with heavier, deeper colors and fabrics. Pull out the heavy comforters and throws to tackle the chill in the air. A great idea to make a fall entrance into your home is to design a wreath for your front door made of dried fallen leaves from your front yard. Go ahead and add artificial berries to round out the robust coloring of your wreath.

Bring the Outdoors Inside - Pumpkins and gourds are good choices for fall decoration. You can find use real or fake ones in all different shapes and sizes. Make a centerpiece of different size pumpkins and add a couple of acorns. You can replace your summer season placemats with ones colored in deep gold or warm brown. You can also change your throw pillows on your sofas as an inexpensive way to change the look of your room.

Seasonal Flowers - Replace your tulips and daisies with mums; they are the perfect fall foliage to incorporate into your d�cor. You can find mums in perfect fall colors of yellow, crimson, mauve and purple. Mums are another inexpensive way of adding color to accommodate the fall season, and are good for indoors or out.

Now, turn football on the television, make a cup of peppermint tea and snuggle up in a deep red throw blanket and you have no choice but to feel that fall is upon you. Light some candles to give the room a warm glow for fall ambiance. Warmth and comfort are two words to keep in mind when decorating for the fall.
