It is that beautiful season called "Autumn" and golden brown leaves seem to be falling everywhere, rust seems to have become the color of the season and pumpkins have become your easiest style element. While this must actually be happening in other parts of the globe, in Mumbai the only place where this seems to be happening is on our Pinterest boards!
How about we make fall an additional season in Mumbai and put all those Pinterest ideas to use? The easiest way to feel "Autumny" is to add a fall-themed wreath to your front door. That way, you get reminded of orange brown leaves and such while your neighbors do too!
1. Burlap Wreaths
Burlap or Jute are perfect materials to complement the rustic warm theme that fall is all about. You can use the cloth as a base for your wreath and either wrap it simply around an iron frame or create a ruffle around the frame. Add dried or artificial flowers in burnt orange, maroon and burgundy shades either at a corner or on top. You can even keep the wreath completely burlap free save for a huge burlap bow. Colored burlap with neutral flowers is an option here too.
2. Wooden Wreaths:
Twigs of wood, flexible dried stems or wooden trunk edges work equally well in Autumn wreaths especially if you want to go all natural. Here too flowers make great fillers. The trick here is to arrange the wood in a quirky unique way.
3. Chalkboard Wreaths:
It's always fun to add a touch of word art to your decor. Take some inspiration from our last week's post and turn an old photo frame or wooden board into a chalkboard working your wreath around it!
4. Not-So-Round Wreaths:
Put on your thinking caps for this one and try to use all these materials but create a wreath that steers clear of the round shape. This one's a toughie but here are some images for inspiration.
Have a happy fall!
