Fall is here, and while many are embracing traditional pumpkin spice and rust-colored décor, I’m taking a more vibrant approach this season. Instead of sticking to the usual autumn palette, I’m infusing my space with bold, bright colors and unexpected elements. I like to be creative with my autumn decorations.

 Color Trends and Personal Touches

Forget pumpkin spice lattes—I’ve never been a fan except for the occasional pumpkin pie! Rust hues aren’t really my style either, but this year I’m rocking pink and orange, which are making a splash everywhere. Lately, I’m also gravitating towards earthy tones, so expect a blend of vibrant and natural shades in my upcoming work.

And here’s a fun twist: I’ve never been much into mums, but these purple asters are absolutely perfect for my color palette this year. Their rich, vibrant hues are just the ticket to complement the bold colors I love.



Thrifting for Unique Outdoor Décor

When it comes to refreshing your space, especially outdoors, thrifting is a fantastic way to find unique items that add character to your décor. Think about incorporating a vintage table, an eclectic flower pot, or a charming mirror—these can all be found at thrift stores and upcycled to match your desired look. For instance, I love transforming these finds with a fresh coat of paint to give them a new life and ensure they fit seamlessly into your space.

Revamp with a Creative Twist

Looking to make a bold statement? Brightly colored floors and ceilings can be a refreshing and unexpected element. Imagine a vibrant floor that adds energy to your space or a ceiling painted in a striking color to create a unique focal point.

And for an extra touch of magic, consider adding a large framed mirror to your porch or garden—it enhances natural light and adds a touch of glamour. Combine that with programmable curtain lights, which offer endless color combinations to create the perfect ambiance for any occasion, and you’ve got a dynamic, vibrant space that’s both inviting and visually striking.














Original art is another great addition—if you can hang a painting on your covered porch, it adds a personal touch. If not, look for ways to incorporate vibrant colors and unique items into your outdoor areas, like bold throw pillows or colorful planters.

.Final Thoughts

This fall, break away from the ordinary and let your space shine with lively colors and unexpected finds. Thrifted and upcycled items are not only economical but also offer a creative way to personalize your décor. Refresh your surroundings with elements that reflect your style and make your home a vibrant, welcoming haven.
