As the leaves start to change color and the weather becomes cooler, fall. Usher in fall and getting the Halloween and Thanksgiving spirit by decorating each room in your house with autumn themed art. Paintings of sweeping fall inspired landscapes fit well in the living room and mesh well with a seasonal change of throw pillows and candle scents. Perfectly plump pumpkins make for a fun pop of fall feelings in the kitchen and will stir up the desire to start baking up fall favorites. Autumn colored leaves in oranges, yellows and reds go perfect to bring a bit of fall decoration to a bathroom.
Landscapes In The Living Room
Landscape paintings capture the beautifully dramatic changes that sweep through nature with the changes of the seasons. As the heat from summer fades and the cooler fall temperatures begin creeping into the day, the bright greens of foliage begin to darken in and warm up in hue. Whether it is a contemporary piece or a classical painting, fall landscapes will add warmth to the bland walls of any living room and add the right touch of autumn decoration. “Hunting Dog” by Peggy Thatch Sibley brings in the warm colors of fall in a playful painting of a hunting dog chasing a flock of pheasant in this classical painting. “Bring Autumn Day II” by Lynn Krause is a contemporary take on the changing seasons, the bright orange leaves pop from the painting creating a vibrant focal point.
Autumn Mist II
Pumpkins In The Kitchen
Nothing says autumn quite like pumpkins, and Lisa Hilliker’s quaint country painting, “Autumn Pumpkins” does just that. Playful carved pumpkins spell out the word ‘AUTUMN’ and when placed over a doorway, would bring the perfect fall or Halloween spirit to any kitchen area. “Pumpkins” by Diane Ulmer Pedersen is a country inspired poster that features a plump orange pumpkin still on the vine with the word ‘Pumpkin’ painted across the top. With its country crackled finished, the painting is the perfect pumpkin advertisement for any kitchen area needing a nod to fall.

Leaves In The Bathroom
Framing the warm colors of fall leaves is a great way to add a sense of autumn into the bathroom. The colors of leaves in fall are some of the most beautiful creations in nature. Deep hues of reds, oranges, yellows, and browns, the leaves in autumn create a stunning artistic focal point. “Vibrant Leaves II” by Luisa Tosini, is the perfect example of leaves being the center of attention. Done in the classic shades of fall, this piece shows off the diverse range of colorings that leaves begin to take on and dress themselves in with the changing of the seasons. Robert Mertens’ “Leaf Counterpoint” shows off the many different shapes of leaves from different trees overlapping over one another in a collage, each showing off their own shades of autumn coloring. The bathroom is an easy area to carry seasonal changes into, through switching out the scent of soap and the artwork.

Scenic artwork has been around for centuries and is a popular subject amongst artists and buyers. Regardless of the location, season, or lack of activity, this art subject never grows old. Scenic art shows the beauty of nature through the perspective of the artist creating the piece. The places we pass everyday and don't even look twice at comes alive when put into art. These pieces make great decor for offices and bedrooms, they bring a peaceful feel to the room.
The Brain and Nature
It is a well-known fact that a natural environment promotes positive emotions. Nature is non judgmental, always perfectly balanced, and as pure as a newborn baby. While our lives evolve into the fast-paced technical world, it is soothing to know that some things never change. Scenic art almost feels like going home again, before the craziness of adulthood began.
Bring Back Memories
Memories often have a lot to do with scenic painting selection. Childhood visits to the beach or mountains can tap into that buried subconscious and open the senses of sounds, smells, and touch. Personal to individual tastes, scenes that recreate the past deliver peace in quiet, private areas, like bedrooms or dens.
Aesthetic Appeal with Changing Seasons
Many artists are able to capture the vivid colors and feel of spring, summer, fall and winter. Select a favorite style and redecorate living areas with appropriate seasons. William Vanscoy, for instance, is an artist that weaves emotion into nature, making visitors stop and listen to their heart and soul. Intriguing scenes of different seasons make these paintings perfect in living areas.
Kitchen Atmosphere
Everyone loves the comforting feel of a cozy kitchen. Fruit and flower still life is not a necessity in bringing a natural goodness to this popular room. Artist Diane Romanello brings an uplifting spirit of friendship in her natural exhibit of 'Among Friends I' for spring and summer, while Stephen Lyman is spectacular with the winter scene 'A Walk in the Woods.'

Pumpkin Decor
A wonderfully traditional option is to decorate with pumpkin art. There are tons of wonderful artistic representations of pumpkins to use and the best part, you can keep a lot of them up through Thanksgiving!
Traditional Halloween Art
Finally, a great way to decorate that is simple and festive, is to use Halloween posters. It is not as invasive as other decor schemes but gives your Halloween visitor some fun art to peruse while they visit.
A great way to decorate with Halloween art that is both fun, scary and hopefully intriguing is to do some kind of mix of the above suggestions, you can decorate with orange and black art while also adding in pumpkin and Halloween art to create a really lush and fun home this Halloween season.

Everyone loves popular color trends when they decide to remodel their home or renovate! It's fun to change your decor every once in a while to keep up with current popular color schemes. A very popular color for home decor, especially for this autumn season, is gold. Gold represents a meaning of success, achievement, and triumph. We often associate the color gold with money or wealth, but the color gold has so much more to tell us than just wealth. Many people have linked the color gold as a way to feel empowered and choose to think gold can give off a vibe of positive energy. Some also believe that gold can bring good wisdom, understanding, and enlightenment.
Represents a Meaning of Success, Achievement, and Triumph!
Often we see gold metals for the winner of a race so we connect the color gold and it's meaning to the winner's metal. This color draws attention to itself, it is eye-catching, passionate, and confident. Gold is a color that is often overlooked when choosing decor because of the flashy and wealthy vibe it shows. Decorating an office with gold art, or neutral colored prints with a gold frame, can give one a sense of empowerment and success. Getting gold art, art with a gold frame, or art on canvas with gold painted sides is not only suitable for your office. These will also raise your feeling of success in a library or study room.
Perfect Decor for Autumn Season!
Not only is gold great decor for offices, classrooms, libraries, and study rooms, but it is also great for general home decor during autumn season! Decorating your home with paintings and photographs of golden autumn trees and the golden kissed sky during sunset is a great way to bring the beauty of autumn into your home with out having crunchy leaves. Gold autumn decor helps a room pop with color and come to life. Golden touched autumn art is especially a great decor choice for those who find themselves who favor autumn over other seasons. If autumn season is your favorite, why not leave the autumn decor up year round to keep your favorite season around!
Although gold is a popular color to decorate, you want to make sure to not overdo it. Having too much gold decor in your home can be overwhelming since gold is such a bold color. If the room is painted a solid color that compliments gold, just decorating with gold is perfectly fine! But remember, gold is a loud color that does not need help standing out and making a statement. Too much gold decor can ruin the statement you want to make. If done correctly, gold decor can be the perfect inspirational art, or the perfect seasonal art!

With Oktoberfest kickoff closing in, we wanted to talk about decorating home bars and entertaining areas with animal art, specifically. It’s a great, subtle way to convey the feel of Old World Germany traditions year round. Of course one of the animals that should be at the center of the decorating scheme is the dachshund.
Dachshunds have been a part of German culture for centuries, and according to the American Kennel Club, their roots go back to the 1600's. At the time, many German huntsmen used the dogs to capture foxes, badgers, rabbits and feral pigs. In later years, they were entered into dachshund races during October celebrations and other competitive events, which continue around the world to this day.
On top of that, there are companies that manufacture dachshund themed wine, beer and bar supplies. Among them are Dachshund Riesling, III Dachshunds Beer and Maitland-Smith. The dog themed bar supplies include brass wine holders, shot glasses, steins, highball glasses, bottle openers, coasters and more. Thus, incorporating wiener dog themed animal art into a home bar or Oktoberfest décor scheme makes sense.
There are two pieces of animal art that must be mentioned when talking about Oktoberfest and home bar decor. One is Stephen Fowler’s Dachshund Wine print and the other is Ryan Fowler’s Dachshund Brewing Co. print. They both resemble vintage advertising signs and prominently feature the dog's image. Because they do have the appearance of commercial art, they could be paired with artist Brian Rubenacker's Dachshund Wieners.
For a more whimsical look, there is also Tracy Flickinger’s Hot Dog. It features a cartoon image of a female dachshund enjoying a cocktail while dressed in a pink feather boa. Additional decorating options include actual photos of wiener dogs and work by artists like Dean Russo and Serena Bowman. A combination of these prints will make the perfect décor for Oktoberfest as well as everyday décor for your home bar.

Fall is almost here! As the temperature drops and the days grow shorter, nature follows suit with a change of colors. Yellow, orange, gold, rust and red take over the landscape, diffusing autumnal spell. An irresistible spell. A spell you want to bring inside your home and spread the magic all around. Here’s how you can bring the colors of fall into your home:
Celebrate the Colors of Fall
Fall means the orange of pumpkin, the red of corn, yellow of gourds and the rust of fallen leaves. Often, they don’t come in one shade but myriads of shades and hues – a subtle yellow, a bold red or deep burgundy. Fall celebrate colors, perhaps nature’s way of cheering the beginning of colder weather. Fall colors are warm and inviting and what better way of duplicating these hues than inviting them into your home. How? By using fall art and prints that capture the essence of the season. For instance Bright Autumn Day showcases trees touched by the glow of orange and red while Autumn Embers captures a more subdued autumn. What you pick depends on the mood and feel you’re going for.
Celebrate the Season
In America, fall calls for celebration – pumpkin patch, hayrides, harvest fest, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Often, fall décor is employed to amp up the ambience. Apart from using pumpkins and gourds and fall flowers to build the atmosphere, consider using fall art and prints to add layers of interest. Transform the kitchen into an autumnal landscape of irresistible warmth and colors. Consider pictures of fall harvest such as playful Sharing the Harvest or thoughtful Harvest Blessings. Choices abound with pictures of wine, olives, prairie landscape and Tuscany harvest.
Celebrate Fall One Room at a Time
Think of how many ways you can use fall décor and how many places you can go with that. We’re talking rooms in your house. The kitchen may be the most obvious place to deck out fall décor but don’t limit your fall magic to just one room. Cozy up your family room with autumn flowers or autumn landscapes or abstract art. Or the living room or the den for that matter. Follow your fancy and allow fall magic to invade your living spaces.
Use art to celebrate fall in all its glories!
