Modern Fall Decor DIY Ideas

Modern Fall Decor IdeasYou guys know by now that I love fall, one of many reasons being that I consider it the funnest season to decorate for.  There are so many ways to go about it, and while Halloween is a big occasion that calls for a lot of those ways, I won’t be decorating specifically for that holiday this year.  You might consider my reason astoundingly lame, but it’s true- I’m a wuss.  I cannot have anything in my home that resembles a creepy crawler or anything spooky.  I do think it’s fun seeing those things in other people’s homes, but I just can’t live with it (or be touching fake spiders, I know, I’m weak).  Anyone else not into scary Halloween?  Who knows, maybe that might change for me in the future!

Decorating the home and entertaining with fall vibes is more my speed, meaning bringing the outdoors in with organic textures and adding warmth with metallics.  Here are some of my favorite modern fall decor DIYs from around blogland that you might enjoy trying out yourself:

1) Sequin Polka Dot Pumpkins
2) Fall Yarn Art
3) Copper and Gold Leaf Branches
4) Clay Animal Heads
5) Macrame Pumpkin
6) Copper Striped Candle Holders (in case you missed this one by yours truly!)
7) Floral Pumpkin Centerpiece
8) Gourd Place Card Holder
9) Hexagon Cake Stand
10) Scalloped Edge Napkins

How have you been decorating for fall (or Halloween?) so far?

    1. I loooove your clay animal heads. Still so impressed you molded them by hand.
      Nice to know I’ve get a buddy that will tremble in fear over spiders with me <3.

  1. Woop woop, thanks so much for sharing my hexagon cake stands! I’m IN LOVE with that macrame hanging pumpkin, what a fun idea! I agree completely about Halloween—I can do a few more “scary” things than it sounds like you can, but I think fall decorating is much nicer anyways as it’s inherently less cheesy, and lasts longer too. :)

    1. Hahahaha few more things as in you’re cool with touching fake spiders huh. Maybe I shouldn’t have shared that.
      I need like three of your hexagon cake stands- SO chic and mind-blowingly simple.

    1. YES, Rachel is always coming up with simple and striking ideas, like the branches! And do you mean you made the floral pumpkins? Whichever ones you made, I’m sure they’re cute <3

  2. YAY! Thanks for including my pumpkin hangers :) I’m totally wussing out with you. If I hang any spooky decorations I forget they’re there. Every time I walk into a room I’m met with a ghostly figure or a creepy spiderweb… not good for my nerves! ;)

    1. Hahaha I know what you mean. That’s how I feel when I walk through Halloween stores. Can’t even walk by the masks because they’ll startle me -.-
      Love love love love love your macrame pumpkin <3
