A Fall Farmhouse Vignette

” Home Is  Where The Heart Is “

When it comes to home, there may not be any truer words.

A home without a heart is just – well, a house.

It’s where we love, and make memories, celebrate,

heal, we worry, we laugh, reconnect, we grow and we bond.

It’s layers of life that come together to form a place we call home.

I love this time of year for the same reason.

Fall is about adding layers of decor to a home

to create a warm, inviting and cozy atmosphere. 

 Here is how I add layers…

5 Layers of a Fall Farmhouse Vignette

 

Before we get started, I wanted to let you know that

I am once again taking part in Farmhouse Friday

with some ah-mazing ladies and fellow bloggers.

This is truly one of my favorite monthly events

because it allows me to showcase my love of Farmhouse

with some other fabulous ladies.  I will share all of the

participating bloggers at the end. Please make sure you 

visit each one and share the love.

No. 1:  Texture

Texture is one of the five elements that is probably the

easiest to add.  When most people think of texture,

they think of rough things or fuzzy things – tactile objects.

But in fact, texture can be any myriad of surfaces.

In this Fall Vignette above…I layered several textures

all in one setting.

Fabric, wood, metal and the textures of the florals.

The mix of these items creates interest.

No. 2:   Scale

It is imperative that you consider your surroundings

when creating a vignette.  Using items too large in scale can

overwhelm your vignette.  Consider the room, or, for example –

the table or mantel you are accessorizing.

You want your accessories and vignettes to be complimentary

of the spaces they are being displayed on, rather

than being overwhelming.

No. 3:  Size

You’re probably asking – isn’t size the same as scale?

Yes, in some ways it is. 

But, when I use “size” as an element in my vignettes,  it is 

in reference to the size of the individual items, and not

the vignette as a whole.  For example, I needed to

use the right size of florals in this pitcher, so

they were not off scale to the proportion of the container.

No. 4:  Color

I very much consider color one of the most important

elements.  Color is what sets the tone of your vignette.

Our breakfast room is primarily blues and

whites and tans.  But, adding these autumnal colors

of rusts and oranges and browns is not that

unexpected, considering the season. 

Colors can be pulled from the room, or placed according 

to a particular time of year.  Adding complimentary colors

to your room’s color scheme only adds depth and interest.

No. 5: Relatability

I think it goes without saying that someone would not

think about adding towels and wash cloths and soaps

to a Breakfast Room vignette.

At least – I would hope not.

😀

Do the elements of the vignette relate to the space?

Do they relate to the style or theme of the room?

How does the vignette fit in with what you are trying to convey?

 

Here’s  How I Created a Farmhouse  Fall Vignette…

I pulled this Fall vignette together in about 30-minutes.

I layered a burlap runner over some cream colored-ticking fabric.

Then, a maple chopping block followed by a galvanized tray.

Textures, Scale and Size.

Red apples, green pears and soft, white candlelight.

Color.

These 5 Layers in Fall Colors of come together to create a 

Fall vignette that perfectly relates to the style of our home.

 

Think about these five design elements the next time you are

creating a vignette.  Don’t be afraid to experiment 

with especially with lots of layers.   

 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing this
