Fall days are the glory days where you enjoy a warm beverage, sit back, relax and enjoy the view. The temperatures are dropping… people are getting in the autumn spirit, but in Texas the leaves don’t change colors until a little later, so creating the “change in season” illusion is up to us… with decor!

Whether your outdoor space is small or big, decorating for the new season can help you get in the mood. Just a few small touches here and there can help transform your space from spring and summer to all about fall. It doesn’t have to be all orange either… mimicking fall foliage can be done by using mustard colored decor, burgundy, cream, olive, taupe and tan.
