Vintage Fall Decor – My Top 10
Incorporate charming vintage fall decor into your seasonal decorating for timeless and unique autumn style.
Antique and vintage decor is always my go to when decorating my home and others'. I believe in shopping second hand and hunting out that previously loved piece for the patina and charm. So today peonies, I thought I would share with you the pieces I use again and again when decorating for autumn.
These are my fall decor staples that I pull out to bring that autumn feeling inside. Some of this vintage decor is really season-less, but due to the colors or motifs it works particularly well for fall and pairs beautifully with fall foliage and warm amber or earthy hues. Let's delve in...
My 10 Favorites for Vintage Fall Decor:
No. 1 Majolica
Majolica ceramics are filled with soft earthy tones that speak so well to the autumnal palette. You can decorate your hutch, sideboard, or coffee table with these beautiful ceramics for a subtle fall feel. Think Wedgwood leaf plates, French oyster plates, and beautiful vases you can fill with branches of fall florals. This oak leaf pitcher in the shop is perfect for that!
No. 2 Sage Green Wedgwood Jasperware
Admittedly, I keep my sage green Jasperware out all year round in my living room, because the color fits my room decor so well, but this earthy green is so lovely when paired with the orange and amber hues of autumnal florals. Learn more about Jasperware here.
No. 3 Vista Alegre or Mottahedeh or Andrea By Sadek Pumpkins
I adore these ceramic pumpkin dishes! Fill them with Halloween candy for a fun treat this time of year. The Vista Alegre or Mottahedeh ones usually sit on a swirling plinth and have gilt detailing like the one pictured above. There are some ceramic pumpkin dishes available in this week's fall decor collection here.
No. 4 Copper
Copper is always a classic decor material that looks good in traditional homes because of the rich, warm color. Think French copper pots and large wash tubs or Moroccan copper wares. If the those don't feel right, look for copper lustre ceramics like the little pitchers shown above.
No. 5 Fall Themed China
I totally believe in the power of setting the table with a seasonally appropriate china! With so much entertaining during the fall season, this can be a wise investment! Plus you can use it as decor in your hutch, china cabinet, or shelving. Snap up this lovely Indian Tree set from Royal Doulton here or this pastel dream maple leaf pattern here.
No. 6 Wool Blankets
Everyone wants to cuddle up under a warm blanket and get cozy during the autumn months. I love the classic style of the wool plaid or tartan throws! They look beautiful thrown over the back of a chair, and you simply cannot get any warmer!
No. 7 Imari
Imari ceramics always feel autumnal to me -- probably because of all the orange enamels! If you want to bring in that Chinoiserie touch, then Imari is definitely the way to go for vintage fall decor! There is a lovely bowl available in the shop.
No. 8 Tortoiseshell Glass
Find this speckled brown and amber glass available in hurricanes, vases, and drinking glasses. It provides the perfect rich tones for fall decor.
No. 9 Blue & White Ceramics
Truly if you invest in the right vintage decor you can use it so many different ways! Blue and white ceramics are the perfect example. They pair elegantly with bright autumnal hues like orange and red. You've also got quite the choice when decorating with blue and white from Chinese porcelains to English transferware, there is a style and price point to suit whatever your tastes or budget! Explore the blue and white Chinese ceramics available in the Curio Shop.
No. 10 Brass
This is another one of those timeless metallics that can be used all year long, but it feels particularly warm and cozy when used in the autumn. Try a vintage brass tray, animal figurines, or a brass bowl.
