If there is one thing I know, it’s that just about everyone loves fall. I mean, cooler temps, darker colors, sweaters and pumpkins. All. Of. The. Pumpkins. Pumpkin decorations, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, pumpkin facials, everything has something to do with pumpkins. I’m no exception to the rule when it comes to the love of pumpkins. They are everywhere in my life. I always get just a little bit excited when I see all of the beautiful fall decor items go up at craft and home stores.
1. Fill empty space. As you saw in the Home Decor on a Budget post, and last years fall decor share, we have a giant clock from Magnolia Market, which has been above our couch ever since we moved in to our townhouse. Initially, we planned to have a couple large frames and a fall banner above the mantle, but after trying a few different pieces above it, the clock was what looked the best. You have to think about shapes. Everything else on this wall was already square, so adding something circular gave it more dimension!
2. Color! Silly thing right? Fall is the time when there are so many wonderful warm colors. But it’s often hard to find items of varying color, especially if you’re shopping at all the same places. Throw some deep reds in there with all of your shades of orange. Add a couple white pumpkins and some brown lanterns or firewood! Heck, go crazy! The more warm tones of varying color, the better.
3. Use pieces of varying height. I think this is a big one for me. It creates so much dimension and when you throw in different textures, it seriously rounds everything off. Fall is all about the warm tones, but you don’t want to keep using the exact same warm tone, because that would get a little boring.

I absolutely love that fall mantle! It's such a shame that I don't have a cute place to decorate like this, because otherwise I would definitely tried to do something similar!
Love your mantle decor, I agree with changing up the colors and getting a variety. Love that you have some neutrals with pops of orange, red, browns!
