Autumn Leaves Great Smoky Mountains National Park NC USA

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!

Prepare for Mother Nature’s Annual Show with Autumn Art

Before long, that old familiar nip will be in the air and leaf peeping season will be in full bloom. Personally, we’re looking forward to it, are you? If so, may we suggest that you prepare for the season by decorating your personal space with autumn art? In our experience, there is no better way to get ready for Mother Nature’s amazing show than that.

 Matthew Sievers Saturated Reflections Matthew Sievers’ Autumn Art

Matthew Sievers is one creative soul whose autumn art would be perfect for contemporary interior designs. His Seasons and Saturated Reflections wall art are truly unique. When stared at long enough, they almost make viewers feel as if they’ve been transported into the autumn woods. Sievers is also known to celebrate the change of seasons in his autumn art with giclee, stylized flowers, impasto, reflections and two-tone design elements. So his work would add quite a bit of visual interest to an otherwise drab space.

Lynn Krause’s Autumn Art

 James Wiens Autumn Forest I If you are looking for autumn art that has the warm colors of foliage front and center, pastel artist Lynn Krause’s work may be a good choice for you. She has an entire tree series that collectively shines a spotlight on the way that leaves change their colors. Some of her artwork, like Autumn Stream and Bright Autumn Day II, feature vivid yellows and oranges that are likely to really brighten up a place. Thus, you may want to put them in a bedroom or hallway with access to the outside.

James Wiens’ Autumn Art

Do you prefer the look of oil on wood or canvas instead of pastel and paper? Well then, work by contemporary artist, James Wiens may be more to your liking. He has two series of note, Autumn Trees and Autumn Forest. Both focus on fall foliage. However, the colors used in the paintings are much more subdued than those found in other artists’ work. Therefore, it would be feasible to hang them in rooms filled with early American furnishings.
