🍁Tips For Decorating For Fall 🍁

Summer is not quite over yet, but it's never too early to start thinking about redecorating. Fall is just around the corner and it always seems like it just doesn't last quite long enough. Fall decorations are among many peoples favorite decorations and you will want to start decorating as soon as possible to make the most of your Fall decorating. Today, your favorite condominiums at the Lake of the Ozarks has some Fall decorating ideas and tips for you!

Create an Inviting Entry Way 

One of the easiest ways to create an inviting Fall entryway is to add a decorative Fall inspired wreath to your door. From pine cones, pumpkins, and autumn leaves, adding a gorgeous wreath to your front door is the perfect way to get your home looking like Fall in no time!

Get Creative with Existing Decore 

When decorating for Fall you don't always have to purchase brand new decor to create a warm Fall feeling in your home. Considering using some of your existing decor and Fall accents for your decorations. Here are a few examples:

• If you have vases in your home decor already, add some pine cones and fall flowers for the perfect Fall look. 
• Do you have candles in your existing decor? Add some twine or raffia around your candles to transform them into Fall decor
• If you have a coffee table centerpiece that has a tray, get rid of everything on the tray and replace with pinecones, acorns, or Fall colored flowers. 

Endless Pumpkin Crafts 

Of course, what's Fall without incorporating pumpkins into your decor. There are endless ways to decorate with pumpkins that don't require carving.

• Spray paint small pumpkins gold for accents 
• Use Mod Podge to attach lace, tissue paper, or fabric to small or large pumpkins
•  Place small pumpkins in vases 

Mums 

Nothing says autumn more than a bunch of mums beautifully planted in front of your home. Mums are great for condos, as they do well when planted in pots. Whether you have them indoors or outdoors, they are the perfect way to add a pop of color. They are relatively easy to take care of, as they are a hardy fall plant. With the proper care, your mums could last many years in a pot.

Campfires, hayrides, and pumpkin spice will be here before you know it! It's the perfect time to start gathering up your Fall decorations so you are ready for the new season. When you live in a waterfront condo at the Lake of the Ozarks, you'll want to decorate your deck as well, so boaters can enjoy your seasonal decorations too. At Isla Del Sol, we love seeing the Lake transform into fall. If you want to join us in seeing the leaves change colors, call us today at 573-552-8418 to schedule a viewing of one of our gorgeous, Lake of the Ozarks waterfront condo.

Front Door Decorating: Wreaths

We are all about paradise here at Isla Del Sol Condominiums. That's why we put together this list of fantastic tips on fall decorating! Specifically, we're focusing on one particular front door decor: the harvest wreath. Putting a  home made wreath on your front door is relatively easy, and there are plenty you can purchase in the store. We wanted to show you how easy it is do on your own, and showcase your decorating talents right beneath the porch light. Nothing says beautiful interior like a hand-crafted personally designed wreath in the entryway. We have the best waterfront condos at the Lake of the Ozarks and they want your creative touch!

The Base: Picking a Wreath

A wreath can come in nearly any size, shape, color, and so much more. Depending on how much time you would like to invest, you can start from a wire base and create the wreath truly from scratch, or you can buy a pre-made base of grapevine from craft stores, like Hobby Lobby.

Choosing the Decorations

A pretty fall wreath doesn't have to be covered in decorations to show off that front door, it can be subtle too! Sticking to 1-3 colors when picking out your foliage and coordinating them with your decorations (it's Fall, try yellows, oranges, and a leafy reds)can go a long way.
This will add a lot of elegance to the final wreath: color-coordinating gives off that professional appearance. Foliage options for a fall wreath include yellow notes of straw, wheat, and yellow squash. For red, find some red maple leaves and maybe some red dyed ribbon or tulle. Finally, for that orange tone, let's find a small craft pumpkin, and some orange leaves.

*Remember, you can buy all of this at a craft store, or if you're really feeling creative, you can scavenge the Lake area for some beautiful Fall leaves. The point being, you don't need to buy all of this, but for a permanent Fall wreath, it may be better to use fake foliage.

Capturing the Autumn Vibe

This is where all the creative talent is spent. You can really get carried away and let the colors go wild; or, if desired, you can try to replicate a wreath you've seen before. Pumpkins, burlap ribbon, sunflowers, scarecrows or even spooky spirits can add personality and flair to your wreath -and your door!

Hang Up Your Wreath

Front door decorations drive home the decor and personality of the home inside. If you've chosen to get creative with your entryway, guests can be certain you've spiced up the interior as well. Here at the most luxurious condos at the Lake of the Ozarks, we get really excited seeing what locals do with the fall colors, and we love seeing creative wreathes and harvest decorations adorn the doors at the Lake. If you enjoy Fall decor, come out and schedule a viewing for some inspirational and perfect sights of the Autumn colors found at Lake of the Ozarks.
