设计师说

有些人喜欢为其南瓜斑块，舒适的户外野餐和穿过叶​​衬里的街道而陷入困境。然后有些人爱秋天so他们想带来很多颜色，分支和一般的感觉室内舒适so they can be surrounded by these things 24/7. Fortunately for the latter, there are plenty of zero-cost ways to turn your living space into an autumnal, pre-winter wonderland, and it’s not too late to channel this look if you love it.

设计师Linda Hayslett的LH.Designs和Probably Thisduo Matt Armato and Beau Ciolino, whose debut book, “Housewarming，” 2022年4月出来，都是自称秋天的粉丝，并有几个技巧可以在一角钱上转变您的空间……从字面上看。Ciolino说：“秋天是我们一年中最喜欢的装饰时间之一，因为整个目的都是激发温暖，团结和放松。”“这也许有点俗气，但跌倒确实只是一年中最轻松的时间。”

实现最秋天的环境（仅在倒下上周！），我与那三位专家进行了交谈，以取消他们改造房屋的最重要秘诀，以使感觉更像是内部的外部。如果您不愿意，您不必赶紧季节，所以这是如何给最后一次装饰性呼吸的方法。

您无需前往南瓜斑块或苹果园即可找到植物并尖叫掉下来的植物。Ciolino说：“我们喜欢将天然和有机元素纳入我们的秋季装饰中，因此除了南瓜和葫芦之外，干燥的绣球花，桉树和松果等物品经常进入我们的秋季装饰。”现在，干燥的绣球花似乎有片刻。设计师和HGTV明星Leanne Ford在造型时使用它们将花朵“吊灯”放在一起Crate & Barrel collection(见上图)。所以不要害怕think outside the box with your display ideas either.

Fall lovers can forage for many of these items in their own backyards or make special requests through local florists. You might even find some of these treasures at Trader Joes, which isn’t a zero-dollar source but should be cheap nonetheless. “Branches, leaves, acorns, pine, logs, and pinecones are some favorites from nature that I like to bring into the house for decorations,” says Hayslett. Consider the fragrant scent of these forest-sourced items an added bonus.

While it may be tempting to spray paint branches or roll pinecones in glitter, all three designers agree nature is most beautiful when displayed in its most untouched form. “I normally like to keep things in their natural state unless there’s a specific look or theme,” shares Hayslett. “Things in nature are pretty neutral, so it’s easy to keep them longer for different holidays and seasons if they stay in their natural state.”

You can always layer seasonal or holiday specific colors onto your natural touches. Consider adding tiny ornaments to bare branches in a vase for Christmas or using an orange bowl as a base for a pinecone centerpiece for Thanksgiving.

You’ll want your natural items to take center stage, so it’s important to choose simple accompanying pieces that won’t upstage them. “Contrast is a beautiful thing, so whenever working with organic elements like unwieldy branches and dried florals, using minimal vases and containers with neutral colors, clean lines, and simple shapes is a great way to create balance and keep everything orderly,” recommends Armato.

Hayslett likes to use some of the smaller items such as acorns and pinecones for fillers in vases or hurricanes with candles. You can even use elements like this in clear glass lanterns. “They can really set the mood and make displays look festive and full,” adds Hayslett.

Unfortunately, when dealing with natural elements, you’re also running the risk of bringing insects and critters into your home. Some leaves and branches can also be dirty, too. To ensure things are bug- and dirt-free, Hayslett shakes larger items like branches and logs then sprays them down with bug spray and airs them out to dry for a few minutes before using them. “You can also apply this to hardier materials such as acorns and pinecones,” she says. For more delicate items like leaves, inspecting and slightly shaking them is a good idea, too.

Ciolino and Armato take a less thorough approach, accepting the fact that a little bit of grime comes with the territory. “As for bugs and dirt — they happen!” says Armato. “If you’re uneasy about critters, just give each piece of foliage a thorough inspection before bringing it inside. We normally just hope for the best!”
