Sep 18th 2024

As the summer sun wanes into autumn, long shadows veil our bright gardens. Summer’s vivid colors mellow into tones like orange, purple, rust, olive and chestnut. While these shades are more mature, they are no less bold.

Deeper colors bring new interest to our home decor and touches of autumnal tones can add richness to even a neutral color scheme.

We’ve found a few of our favorite products in arresting autumnal shades to add dramatic color to the fall decor inside and outside your home.

Real Touch Mixed Foliage and Berries Fall Harvest Wreath

All the rich colors of autumn combine in this exceptional wreath of mixed artificial foliage and berries. Lush and colorful, with realistic-looking greens and blooms, our Real Touch® wreath will look right at home on a wall, over a fireplace or on a protected front porch door. This 24-inch wreath features a natural twig grapevine backing for easy hanging. Check out all our fall wreaths to update your autumn decor.

There is some truth to the belief that Americans go a little pumpkin crazy at the first hint of fall. But even if pumpkin spice isn’t your thing, pumpkin decor is appropriately seasonal (and calorie-free). Today’s autumn gourds are pleasingly textural, from crackle finish pumpkins to braided pumpkins to plush pillow pumpkins. Browse our pumpkin selections for a style that meshes with your home design.

Mixed leaf fall harvest garland, 6 foot unlit

Let shades of brown and crimson pop in an otherwise neutral decor with an artificial mixed leaf fall garland. Unlike natural botanicals, artificial fall garlands won’t turn into a crumbled mess after a few days. A fall garland is a beautiful way to add a warm autumn glow to a serving table, buffet, mantel or bookshelves. Use this simple but attractive garland to accent your fall decorations from the first hint of autumn on through your Thanksgiving celebration.

Brown 50x60 inch zigzag fringed throw blanket

Shadowy zigzags and a soft fringe make this brown cotton throw blanket even more inviting.

Keep one close at hand for fall picnics, an afternoon at the game or just snuggling up with a hot drink and a good book.
