Easy Fall Kitchen Decorating
I’ve been obsessed with fall decor for many years. I love creating mini pumpkin arrangements, dough bowls, and mini wreaths for fall. Living in New England adds to the autumn charm. It certainly helps me get into a fall mood even more. I tend to lean towards harvest or rustic fall themes, using simple decor items. Here are some ways to create those looks.
Harvest Fall Kitchen
A harvest theme is perfect for displaying the bounty of the autumn. Here are some decor ideas for your kitchen island or countertop:
- A cornucopia centerpiece is a classic choice for fall decor. This symbol of abundance can be filled with seasonal items to enhance any table setting.
- A mix of fall fruits and vegetables, such as pumpkins, apples, and butternut squash, make a nice centerpiece. Arrange them in a dough bowl or on a farmhouse tray.
- Add some fall foliage to your kitchen decor by placing a ceramic vase of wooden spoons and autumn leaves on the counter.
- Try placemats in warm fall colors, such as deep orange, red, and brown.
- Group harvest-inspired decor together, in arrangements around your kitchen.
Rustic Fall Kitchen
A rustic theme can add warmth and coziness to your kitchen island decor. Here are some ideas to consider:
- Use a wooden cutlery caddy or cutting board as a centerpiece and surround it with pinecones, acorns, and other natural elements.
- Add some texture with a woven mat or straw tray.
- Use flower pots, vintage bottles, or oil cruets to round out your fall display.
- Include some rustic decor, such as a set of wooden spoons or a farmhouse-style basket.
Using Wood and Natural Textures
Wood is a a timeless material in kitchen decor, as it’s used in cabinets, furniture, and accents like cutting boards or serving trays.
Textured items, like woven baskets or wooden utensils, add depth and a rustic feel. For a rustic fall kitchen, try mixing light and dark wood tones to create contrast. Also use different wood kitchen accessories to tie the rustic look together
Choosing Fall Colors for Your Kitchen
When choosing fall decor, select colors that work with your kitchen colors. If orange pumpkins aren’t your thing, pick white or blue pumpkins. Or, buy faux pumpkins in a variety of colors, materials, and styles
Warm fall colors are typically reds, oranges, and yellows and add a vibrant look. For a more subtle look, consider using shades of the same color, which works if you want your fall decor to blend in with your kitchen.
If you like a more subtle look, neutral tones like beige, tan, and brown are also nice color choices for fall kitchen decorations. These colors create a relaxing kitchen, perfect for enjoying a cup of cocoa on a cold autumn day.
To add visual interest to your fall kitchen, consider using different textures and materials. For instance, you could add a rustic fall table runner and a tiered tray to your table filled with freshly picked apples. Just don’t overwhelm your kitchen with too much decor. Simple touches like mason jars, pine cones, or faux pumpkins can really round out your fall kitchen decor.
Incorporating Metallic Accents
Metallic accents can elevate your fall kitchen look while adding a touch of elegance. Gold, bronze, and copper are particularly effective choices.
Mixing textures—such as matte and shiny metal finishes can create a nice visual without overwhelming the kitchen.
Light fixtures with a brushed copper finish can serve as both functional and decorative elements. Or, consider using bronze cabinet knobs or drawer pulls for a subtle fall feel.
Fuctional items like copper pots hanging above an island or cooktop can create a nice contrast with the warm tones and textures in a fall kitchen.
