A new season and a new home makes creating new spaces exciting. As much as I miss our big, chinky mantel in our old home, I was looking forward to haveng a new space to decorate. I have plans to change the look of this fireplace but for now, this will have to do.

For this look I just wanted to have a simple color scheme and take advantage of the height (something I never had at our old home)
Colors
I kept this a very warm color scheme then used pops of black to add to the drama of the completed look
Design
I love creating asymmetrical displays the most. First, I added 5 two-color variety branches to the vase making sure to bend and shape the branches to have a more organic, natural look. Then I add a few more branches on the opposite side to flow of the edge and tie in the other side. I then tucked in 3 pumpkins of varying sizes into the leaf stems.
Ambiance
Finally, I completed the look by adding some candlesticks and battery operated candles. This gives a warm glow and vibe to the finished look.
I love how simple, yet dramatic the height of the beautiful fall leaves gives the room. It feels so natural, yet elegant and that was exactly the look I was going for.
I hope this gave you some inspiration and ideas for your own home decor and design. Thanks for following along.
