I love decorating…especially for autumn. Bringing all of the warm colors, textures, and scents together to create a beautiful space is something I enjoy. However, I am very budget-conscience.
How do you assemble small groupings to create a beautiful focal point, within a budget?
Here are four simple steps to help you create eye-catching vignettes economically.
- Begin with an item to add height. Here I used a tall candlestick that I found in Goodwill for just $2. After receiving a coat of Chalk Paint and some distressing, it was ready for a candle that I found on clearance at Kohl’s.
- Incorporate a natural element. Use what you have in your garden. This bittersweet was given to me by a friend, from her garden. It sits in a simple mason jar.
- Add a pop of color. I picked up this bright orange baby pumpkin at our local farm for 50 cents. This seasonal fruit sits on a pedestal dish that was given to me by my mother. The dish also adds some variation in height to the grouping.
- Incorporate something personal or unique. Shop your home and use what you have. I like to use framed pictures or prints to make the space more personal. This framed print that was a gift from my husband when we were first married, almost twenty years ago.
This vignette sits in front of my DIY shutter project from this summer. I love the texture that these add to the wall for a minimal cost.
Here is a Halloween vignette that I recently put together in my kitchen. It has the varied heights, a natural element, color, and something unique…the ghost!
I hope this gave you a little inspiration to create some fun seasonal vignettes in your home!
What are some items you like to include in your home decor? Do you like to create vignettes? How do you decorate within a budget? I would love to hear your thoughts.
Thank you!!! A tutorial that is very valuable! Love your vignettes.
Thanks so much, my friend! Best wishes for a wonderful week!
Hi Lynne. I love you vignettes especially the little ghost. I was really pleased to see you group your vignettes using a pretty white cloth. I don’t feel they get used often enough, I love mine but was a bit shy to photograph them. Not any more, I thank you for that. Your pictures were modern and lovely.
