It’s really difficult to combine a “beachy vibe” into Autumn Centerpieces, isn’t it? Blending coastal blues with bright pumpkin orange isn’t the best look in my opinion. Our contributing editor, Caron White, might disagree! She recently shared some Tangerine Orange with an Aqua Turquouise decorating inspiration and we were quite impressed.
The main element when creating, or purchasing, an Autumn Centerpiece, is to stay with natural fabrics and soft neutral colors. Cotton and burlap are perfect natural fabrics. Neutral colors include off-white, ivory, tan and light blue.
A little tip when decorating for a beach house: use what natural has provided! Driftwood, sea shells, flowers, leaves, greenery, fruit — you can’t go wrong!
Here are a few favorite Autumn Centerpieces; which will work in numerous beach houses, whether you prefer cottage chic or a modern interior design style.
Autumn Centerpiece #1: A $4.00 DIY Sailboat Centerpiece from The Pink Peony of Le Jardin. The original $40.00 version is below.
Autumn Centerpiece #2: Blue pumpkin used as a vase. If you love beach cottage chic then white and light blue pumpkins are perfect for you. Visit Farmer’s Markets and local pumpkin patches for a variety of colors and shapes.
Autumn Centerpiece #3: DIY Nautical Rope Vase. Jute rope makes everything better!
Autumn Centerpiece #4: Centerpiece with a Shore Bird, Shells, & Starfish from Beach Grass Cottage
Autumn Centerpiece #5: A burlap runner, air plants, and driftwood centerpiece
Hope you have a beautiful weekend…Life’s a Beach!
