Gourds will be your favorites for autumn decor
Fall decor has arrived, and with it comes the most gorgeous gourds!
Pumpkins and gourds are one of the most widely recognized symbols of fall in North America and have been featured in both outdoor and indoor decor for centuries.
A symbol of a bountiful harvest, these versatile beauties can add a seasonal touch to any room, which is why, perhaps, I love them so much. Here are a few ways we’ve incorporated pumpkins and gourds into our fall decor.
Monochrome moments
Sprinkling a collection of white gourds throughout the living room lends the spirit of autumn without overpowering the initial design and flow of the space. A single pumpkin on a coffee table is definitely a stately look, and as the kids are saying these days, it’s “a vibe.” The aesthetic makes the most impact in larger quantities.
Rustic elegance
Nothing beats the beautiful hues that this season brings — rich golds, vibrant oranges, deep reds. We decked out our gazebo for the occasion. Pair mountains of pumpkins and fall decor with a few supporting roles. This look is perfect for those who aren’t afraid to go all in with seasonal decorating.
Bountiful harvest
We can’t resist bringing the beauty of the season to our tabletops, where we’ve paired pumpkin-shaped soup tureens (a good tureen is a must for the fall season!) with elegant seasonal place settings and an autumnal plaid runner for a tabletop that is inviting and warm. Warm wood tones anchor the design and lend to the unassuming element that makes this table all the more charming.
Incorporating gourds into your fall decor
Instead of just placing your gourds on your coffee table or strewing them about randomly through your space, think like a designer and take the opportunity to get a little creative. With some thought and purposeful placement, these fall squashes will look totally chic. I love the idea of adding them to a cloche or turning your mantel into a pumpkin patch.
