Decorating your home for the season is a time-honored American tradition. And just because Florida enjoys year-round sunshine doesn’t mean we don’t get into the fall spirit!
Here are five fun tips to make your Florida real estate put you in the mood for a pumpkin spice latte.
Easy peasy and available at your local supermarket. Signal the arrival of fall with a fun selection of autumnal squashes. You can use edible vegetables or a collection of funky gourds of all shapes & sizes.
Set up a small display on the dinner table as a centerpiece or arrange a larger display on a wall table in the foyer or on your front porch.
Native Floridians and transplants alike can feel the chill on fall evenings even if the tourists are running around in shorts and flip-flops. Arrange fall colored throws and pillows around the living room to encourage friends and family to cuddle up and share some laughs.
Turn any door into a festive work of art by hanging a fun fall-inspired wreath. Shop your local craft store to build your own DIY wreath featuring all your favorite fall fruits & flowers. Silk leaves can inject yellow, red and orange into your subtropical garden.
Whether you go all-out with antiques or simply pick up a few galvanized wash basins from the nursery, adding rustic elements to your home décor is an easy trick to bring the autumn harvest to your living room.
Shop second hand stores or yard sales to pick up rusty old yard tools or iron farm implements. You know what they say: One man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure!
Not all pumpkins were made for carving. Ornament yours with lace, doilies or beautiful fabric. Pumpkins showcased this way can also be used for making pie at the end of the season!
