3 Tips for A Vintage-Inspired Fall Aesthetic
Need help pairing fall décor with your favorite vintage finds?
Here are a few tips from homeowner and Instagrammer Corine Mapes of @junk_gems to keep your home looking cohesive and cozy for the season with a vintage-inspired fall aesthetic.
Bring out fall-specific vintage. Your year-round vintage pieces are the foundation on which to build fall décor. But for a vintage-inspired fall aesthetic, think about which vintage treasures are seasonally specific. “When fall is arriving, I bring out my amber bottles to decorate my fireplace mantel,” Corine says. “I add vintage baskets for texture, bring out my collected copper pieces, switch out my summer art for fall art and light candles for extra cozy spaces.”
Keep it natural. Another great way to add a fall feel to your home is to think outside the box—literally. Go outside and gather what you can from your backyard or garden. “Keeping your fall décor natural complements your vintage items,” says Corine. She grows orange and white pumpkins every year to include in her décor. She’ll also gather and dry hydrangeas, leaves, corn stalks and wheat to put in vases and baskets or hang from lighting.
Add fabric for soft texture. Not every piece in your home has to be vintage. Add textured blankets and pillows with fall colors for a cozy look. “I bring out my green velvet throw pillows and mix them with sweater pillows,” Corine says.
