Enjoying these crisp nights and bright days of autumn? Bring that beauty into your home with these quick and easy decor ideas.

- Add or change the wreath on your front door to feature warm, earthy tones and textures.

- Hang a flower bucket instead of a wreath and fill with sturdy pinecones and colorful ears of corn.

- Swap out the summer candles and potpourri jars in your home with fall scents.

- Whip up an easy autumn centerpiece in a portable container that you can move from place to place in your home to add warmth wherever you are.

- Need an idea for that easy autumn centerpiece mentioned above? Clear-spray inexpensive gourds and small pumpkins and toss casually into a cloth-lined wrought-iron container. Or use a beautiful bowl. Or a much-loved wicker basket. You get the idea.

- Move the shepherd's crook from your garden to near your front door. Hang a decorative fall sign you purchase from your local discount or craft store.

- Replace the rug at your front door with one that reflects the incredible fall colors found in nature.

- Invest in one decorative tray for each season or a tray you can embellish. A 'leaf' tray will look beautiful on your table right up to the holidays!

- Change the appearance easily of baskets you use around your home by adding seasonal ribbons and bows.

- If you use decorative throw pillows, you can increase their value by using seasonal pillow covers to change looks fast throughout the year without needing to store excess bulky pillows.

- Consider a new windchime or windsock for your front patio. Choose from a neutral or fall theme.

You can do it! Brighten up your home with touches of the season. A small amount of time invested now can bring months of pleasant echoes throughout your family's home!
