FALL CONSOLE VIEW

I’m excited to showcase my fall console with you, as it radiates a warm and welcoming vibe. The beautiful autumn artwork contributes a charming element, and the gentle glow of candlelight fosters a cozy atmosphere. Additionally, the new rattan baskets are perfect for organizing all my essentials, while the snug throw adds to the overall design, beautifully highlighting the lovely tan hues found in both the rug and the artwork.

💡Designer Tips:

Here are three designer tips for adding autumn touches to your entryway using a console table:

Layer Textures: Incorporate a variety of textures to create visual interest. Use a soft, woven runner or a cozy throw draped over the console to add warmth. Combine materials like wood, metal, and natural fibers—think rattan baskets or ceramic pots—to enhance the seasonal feel.

Seasonal Decor Elements: Introduce autumn-themed decor items such as small pumpkins, gourds, or pinecones placed in clusters. Incorporate scented candles in warm hues like orange or deep red to evoke the essence of the season. Framed autumn-themed artwork or photographs can also set the tone beautifully.

Natural Accents: Bring the outdoors in by using natural elements. A vase filled with branches showcasing colorful fall leaves or a bouquet of dried flowers can add a touch of nature. Consider adding a small bowl of acorns or chestnuts to enhance the organic feel while keeping the space inviting and fresh.
