When you look up “fall decor” on Pinterest, a lot of over-the-top, cheesy stuff comes up (in my opinion). So today I wanted to share some inspiration that would appeal to those of you who err on the side of simple and sophisticated. Read on for ten gorgeous ideas!

2. The simple addition of a baskets of gourds give this entryway a subtle autumnal feel. [Photo: Better Homes and Gardens]
3. Repetition is another great way to go from rustic to contemporary… try putting a row of pumpkins (or apples or pinecones) on your mantle. [Photo: Vivre Blog]
4. Sticking to a monochromatic or muted color scheme like the one above is a great trick. [Photo: Decorating Ideas Made Easy]

8. You know all those glass vases you probably have hiding in the back of your cabinet? Grab a couple and fill them with small pumpkins and gourds. So easy! [Photo: allwomenstalk.com]
9. Here’s another super simple idea… cut a couple of branches and put them in a glass jar. Pretty, understated and totally fall, right? [Photo: Ana GR via Raspberry Tart]
10. Birch bark and leather has a nice fall feel (which could work in the winter too). [Photo: Just A Smidgen]
Birch bark us super-flammable and shouldn’t be on candles! It’s great for starting camp fires though.
Might be best to use a flameless candle then… thanks Gabe!
