VIBRANT FALL DECOR IDEAS TO BRING YOUR OUTDOOR AREA TO LIFE

Add some seasonal spice to your garden or patio with a CB2 twist.

Fall is the time for muted, neutral tones and a deliciously cosy atmosphere – or so we’re told. To that, we say, how overdone and boring! This Fall, we’re talking about simple ways to level up your seasonal game using bright, vibrant colours and fun textiles that complement Nature’s Fall palette. So much effort goes into the interior of your home that, sometimes, the exterior can feel a little left out. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with easy ways to elevate your garden, patio area, and other outdoor spaces to celebrate the Fall season.  

Fall in Love with Full Colour and Bold Textiles

Fall is all about colour. Out of all the seasons, it gives us the most dramatic colour displays with golden-into-red leaves spread out like an ocean of hues. Bringing that colour into your outdoor space is simple with a rich variety of textile accessories. Our recommendation for a functional splash of Fall colours is cushions and throws. Forget about plain, neutral tones typically associated with Fall and get on board with mustard yellows, auburn geometric prints, and tactile fabrics e.g., waffle fabric and loop chenille that draw the eye’s attention. Complete the look with outdoor rugs and mats that pick up on single colours or a theme, and you have the perfect outdoor space for those warmer Fall evenings.

Dynamic Heat with Unique Fire Pits

A fire pit is a great way to welcome the Fall, while providing a functional use during the colder nights and bringing more dynamic shapes into your space. Think unusual structures such as deep rectangular fire pits and unique circular log holders to really bring a modern, chic atmosphere to your patio area. Not only do these subtle pieces enhance your space and give off an effortless sense of style, but they’re also a great way of bringing family and friends for a drink together in the evenings, and extending your outdoor entertaining season into the cooler months.

All that Glitters is Gold with Metallic Embellishments 

We quite often accessorize our homes and don’t think to do the same for outdoor spaces, but the most effective way to invoke the Fall in your garden is through seasonally appropriate embellishments. We recommend warm-toned metallic fixtures to mimic the golden leaves that are starting to appear – choose gold or copper, rather than silver. Accessorizing with the smallest details can bring new depth to the area, for example, opt for a gold ornamental watering can, drawing attention to seasonal flowerbeds, or scatter some bronze votive candle holders around your patio for gentle evening lighting that still catches the eye in the daytime.

Reflect the Outside World with Eye-catching Mirrors 

Whoever decided mirrors are for interior spaces only was very, very mistaken! Nothing says chic like a strategically placed mirror on a garden fence, outdoor wall, or even propped against your home. Once again, it’s the gold or copper fixtures that mimic Fall colours perfectly, so a mirror with a gold frame will do wonders to liven up an outside area or patio. Or opt for a frame in bold statement colours like yellow or to really bring those colours into your outdoor design.
