What if Fall were Green?

It’s that magical time of year again! The air is crisp, pumpkins are making their debut, and pumpkin spice is everywhere. As you start dreaming of cozy evenings surrounded by festive decorations, you might find yourself facing a dilemma: do you really want to invest in new fall decorations when Christmas is just around the corner?

The Cozy Conundrum

Don’t get me wrong — we absolutely adore the rich colors of Fall and the delightful scents that fill our homes. Fall is like a warm hug, especially here in the South, where football season adds an extra layer of excitement. But here’s the catch: as soon as you put up those beautiful fall decorations, you know you’ll be taking them down before you know it to make way for Christmas cheer. So, why spend money on decorations that will have such a short stay?

The Solution: Transitional Decorations

What if you could decorate for both fall and Christmas in one fell swoop? Enter transitional decorations— items that can seamlessly flow from one season to the next, allowing you to celebrate both without breaking the bank.

Here are some fantastic transitional decorating ideas to consider:

1. Olive Green Accents: A warm olive green is the perfect color to use around your home to tie in warm rust colors in the Fall and then bring in your holly red and deep rich kelly green for Christmas.

2. Neutral Colored Plaid: Adding neutral plaid pillows, blankets, rugs, or dish towels will add a subtle sense of cozy to bring in the Fall vibes and still be prepped for Christmas morning!

3. Black Vase with Foliage: This stylish addition can hold seasonal elements, from wheat stalks to pines and holly, making it a perfect seasonal tie-in or even year-round piece.

4. Acorns & Pinecones: A nod to autumn that can easily transition to winter by swapping out the acorns for pinecones, or keep them both displayed for the season! We suggest decorating with these pieces in clear vases.

5. Candlesticks & Mantle Greenery: Elegant gold candlesticks will add a touch of sophistication to your fall decor and work beautifully with winter themes. For the greenery, start with pumpkins incorporated into the foliage, then transition to pinecones and holly for a festive look that lasts.

6. Themed Baskets: Functional and decorative, these can be filled with seasonal items for fall, like pumpkins, your new neutral plaid blanket, and wheat stalks. For Christmas, your basket can even serve as the base for your Christmas tree. You can also save and repurpose them for your Easter lilies!

A Greener Fall

By choosing transitional decorations, you not only save time but also reduce waste and expenses. Imagine a fall season that feels sustainable and stylish—one where your decorations carry you effortlessly into the winter months, and beyond! 

So, as you start to bring out the pumpkins and all things cozy, think about how you can make your decor work double duty. With a little creativity, you can embrace both fall and Christmas in a way that feels seamless and beautiful.

Let’s celebrate the best of both seasons together—because cozy never goes out of style!
