Easy Fall Vignettes

[vin-yet] – noun: any small, pleasing picture or view.

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year to put together vignettes. The colors and shapes of the season – pumpkins, acorns, burlap, corn, wood, pinecones, and leaves – all make for interesting and welcoming vignettes throughout your home.

Vignettes are easy to put together and here are a few tips:

Choose items that fit the theme of your space – if your room is more formal, than symmetry and items like glass and candles may be best. If your room is more casual, then asymmetry and textural items wood or pumpkins would work well.
Start with an anchor item – this will be what you’ll build the vignette around. It can be any shape or size as long as it fits the space and room.
Vary the textures of objects – mix hard and shiny objects with natural and soft. For fall this may mean weathered wood with a iron candlestick.
Vary the height of objects – use small pedestals like a candle holder to elevate items. Try stacking books to create a platform for smaller objects.
Create depth – place items in front of and behind your anchor piece. Placing objects atop a mirror, or leaning them against a picture that’s on the wall, is an easy way to create a sense of dimension in your vignette.

The glass and finial match the more formal look of this room perfectly.

Above all, have your vignette represent your personal style. Have it reflect the colors and decor style of your home. What are you favorite items to incorporate into your fall decorating?
