Traditionally, when you think fall decor, those bright yellows and oranges and reds come to mind. Which makes sense, especially if you’re lucky enough to live somewhere that has changing leaves; the colors can be breathtaking.

But lately?

Lately I’ve been seeing so many wonderful and non-traditional ways to decorate for fall. The creativity amazes me and the options are endless.

We tested the waters last year in a tablescape (more on that below) and it seemed to be a big hit. So, snowballing off that idea a little more, we rounded up some pretty great inspiration if you’re feeling a little rebellious and non-traditional 🙂

8 Non-Traditional Fall Decor and DIY Ideas

Spray paint does wonders and this idea from Making Manzanita is no exception. She spray pained dollar store pumpkins to make this beautifully rustic tablescape. Click here for the full post + tutorial.
