Autumn 2012
I love colour! And everyone who knows me know that fall is my favourite time of year. I love the fresh breeze (with no humidity) and the vibrant fall colours that are everywhere in the Liz’ Tips countryside. By: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind
Maximum Impact with Minimal Investment Brockville, Ontario
I love decorating a seasonal table — whether it's simple or ornate, the No fireplace? visual appeal comforts me. Centerpieces don't always have to go on a dining or kitchen table, you can place them on your coffee table, hall No problem. Add a side table or sofa table against a wall. Scatter some fall leaves on the surface. Place a group of different height candles; table or even your mantel. preferably in hurricane vases for safety. Add a few acorns and you have Here's some inspiration for you: a great display for your guests. Want an easy way to add a pop of colour to your table?
Colourful Autumn Vignette
Exhibit freshly cut foliage in vintage bottles. Maple leaves stay fresh for up to three weeks. Fill bottles with tepid water, and then cut the bottom of the branches on an angle. To help them take in water, use a sharp knife to slice up the middle of each branch about an inch. Replace the water when it becomes murky.
Apricot & Gold Table Setting
This colourful autumn wreath display is a great addition to the already popular hurricane vase. You can enjoy this look, not just for Thanksgiving but, for an everyday look through fall.
Set a classic fall table with linens, dishes and accessories in these rich hues. This timeless combination confers elegance and provides the perfect backdrop for a harvest centrepiece of pumpkins, gourds and decorative kale. Create tiers to give the display visual interest: stack larger pumpkins and gourds on a cake platter, perch the kale in shallow bowls of water and scatter mini pumpkins on the table.
The hurricane vase makes this a safer alternative than tapered candles for your table display; place the leaves outside the vase and tucked just below and sides of base plate to ensure no melted wax touches the leaves.With the temperatures dropping, texture and rich jewel tones replace showy blooms and vibrant colours as the mainstays of autumn Neutral Console Table accessorizing.

Knot a (real or artificial) along the table for a relaxed and casual look. thick brown velvet ribbon around the pivot point, keeping the ends long so they spill onto the table. Decorative Table Display Ideas :

Create a cosy vibe by piling throw pillows in botanical prints and rich fall Add some filler to vases, trays and bowls that you already have around colours onto a solid sofa.

Entertaining friends and family? Want to display an elegant fall living room?
Clear off tables and one or two shelves on bookcases or builtins to provide spots for guests to place glasses and plates. Group hurricane lanterns in the fireplace opening; they give off a warm glow without the heat or hazard of an open fire in a room full of people. Replace a bulky coffee table with multiple cocktail-sized tables, which take up less floor space and can be easily moved. Replace one or two pictures with an autumn wreath or place a colourful wreath on the inside of your living room window to bring in some of the fall colours into the room..
Want a neutral but warm look for the bedroom?
Cosy up bedrooms with toasty-warm wool blankets, sumptuous velvet pillows and striped bedding in brown shades from beige to chocolate. Chamomile-coloured walls ensure a sunny feel during grey winter days and are neutral enough to work with most decorating schemes. Add a little life with a quirky gooseberry wreath and a small pitcher of wildflowers bedside.
Here’s a “do it yourself” leaf display.
Press pretty fall leaves and display them in vintage frames of various sizes. Unify different frames by painting them white or gold, and then wrap any existing mats with linen in earthy neutral tones. (Wrap the linen snugly around the mats and secure at back with glue or double-sided tape. Then, cut an X from corner to corner across the picture opening and fold the resulting triangles of fabric back and affix to the mat.) Looking for more tips?
Watch for them in the next Homefinder issue.
