Fall is an amazing time of year. The weather cools off, the leaves change color and everything just feels crisper. If you want to bring that look indoors, you can easily pair the colors of fall with your rustic décor to get the perfect look leading up to the holiday season. Rustic furniture lends itself to fall décor simply by being itself. Here are a few simple ways you can highlight your rustic décor with fall decorations:
Choose bright fall colors: Fall is a great time for deep reds, oranges, yellows and gold. Pairing these colors with the darker wood of your rustic pieces will allow your darker woods to become a focal point into your home. Simple ways to incorporate these colors include adding a colorful throw blanket or pillows to your

Utilizing these colors will play a huge role in warming up your home for the fall months. The dark colors are a great way to create a warmer feeling. Try adding color to every room of the home, whether it's with candles, pillows, wall hangings or fall floral arrangements.
Create fall centerpieces: Another very easy way to bring fall décor into your rustic theme is to create centerpieces. Use leaves, pumpkins, apples or other berries to bring the outside in. Not only are these edibles specific to the fall season, they add a natural vibrancy with their deep colors. Gauge your centerpiece based on the size of table and size of kitchen you have. A centerpiece that is too small will look like a mistake, one that's too big will overwhelm a small table like this

Create a cozy space: Your rustic home is probably already pretty cozy, but you can take it up a notch by creating a cozier feel. Adding blankets you sitting areas, a touch of live vegetation to the mantle and hanging colorful wreathes in the hallways can make your home feel even warmer.
Pine cones and leaves: Fall is the perfect time to try a few craft experiments! Consider filling a clear vase with pine cones and berries or dried, colorful leaves. You can also use leaves to create simple wall hangings. Simply place one, brightly colored, leaf inside a photo frame and hang. Hang in groups of three or more and you can create an eye popping fall decorative piece for very little money.
The best way to create a fall-feeling in your rustic home is to think simple. Create centerpieces or other décor from items you find around the yard or at the park. You'll really be bringing fall into your home and saving a bundle. Add small pops of color in each room. Keep a clear bowl of red and green apples on your counter, throw a colorful runner with a centerpiece on your rustic dining set or layout a brightly colored throw rug in the front entrance.
By applying simple changes, you can really change the feel of your home in minutes.
