Transitioning into Fall: Decorate with Seasonal Fruit

Pin It

Madigan made... simple fall updates in the kitchen.


How do you transition into your fall decor?

I think most of us face this dilemma... you decorate a little for fall, then pull out the spooky decor for Halloween, then go back to more fall decor for November.
I do my autumn decorating in bits and pieces and follow that general approach.



Is it labor intensive to make all these changes from month to month? Maybe.

Do I love decorating for fall and don't mind the work? You betcha!

Right now, I am taking a few small steps to move towards fall in our home. I started in our kitchen.

For me, harvest fruits are a great way to signal that fall is on its way. Since I no longer fill up my apothecary jars, I decided to use this red fruit vase filler as a display on our kitchen cart.


On the white ceramic tray I piled some wooden apples, fake pomegranates and red pears (made of raffia-like material).

The apple print in the double frame-in-a-frame above is a perfect complement to the red fruit. And all the white creamware helps to keep things light and fresh.


 If you notice, the lower shelf holds our fruit bowl that normally sits on our kitchen table. I have a new fall centerpiece on our table (and chalkboard update) to show you soon!


I did not create a fall printable for the frame like I did last year. I'm not sure if I'm going to go that route this season or not.

I like how this simple scene feels 'fall-ish' without screaming pumpkins and leaves (yet... believe me, they are coming out soon!).

Have you started to decorate for fall yet? Where do you start?
