Whether you're decorating for a holiday or simply refreshing your space, the green plaid rug offers a flexible foundation for creative styling. Try mixing and matching elements from each look to make it your own.

How These Images Were Created

All three foyer scenes were created using a blend of thoughtful styling direction and AI‑assisted mockups. Each vignette began with the same green plaid rug as the anchor, and the seasonal elements were built around it using carefully guided prompts to achieve magazine‑quality lighting, balance, and composition. Every wreath, prop, floral arrangement, and tabletop detail was intentionally placed to reflect the mood of the season while keeping the overall look cohesive and welcoming. These images are digitally styled, but the inspiration behind them is completely real offering you fresh ideas you can recreate in your own home, porch, or patio.

Pin it, share it, or shop the look your foyer deserves to feel as welcoming as you are.

DIY Pumpkin & Fall Leaf Tissue Paper Plate

 

A Cozy Decoupage Craft to Celebrate Autumn

There’s something about fall that invites creativity the rustle of leaves, the scent of cinnamon, and the charm of pumpkins popping up on every porch. If you’re looking for a simple seasonal craft that doubles as decor, this pumpkin and fall leaf tissue paper plate is a beautiful way to bring autumn indoors. Using basic decoupage techniques, you’ll turn an ordinary plate into a festive centerpiece that feels handmade, heartfelt, and full of seasonal magic.

How to Decoupage Your Plate

Start by cleaning your plate thoroughly and drying it completely to ensure a smooth surface. Select your favorite fall-themed tissue paper pumpkins, leaves, acorns, or any pattern that speaks to the season and carefully cut out the motifs you want to feature. Using a foam brush or soft paint brush, apply a thin layer of Mod Podge or decoupage glue to the area of the plate where you’ll place your tissue paper. Gently press the paper onto the glue, smoothing out any wrinkles with your fingers or brush. Once it’s dry to the touch, brush another layer of Mod Podge over the top to seal the design and give it a soft, finished look. For added durability, especially if your plate will be displayed in a busy area, you can finish it off with a light spray of clear acrylic sealer. Just remember this plate is for decorative use only unless sealed with a food-safe resin.




Styling Your Pumpkin Plate: Cozy Decor Ideas

Once your plate is complete, it becomes a versatile piece of seasonal decor. Try placing it on your foyer table with three pillar candles in warm autumn tones think cinnamon, ivory, and rust and surround it with mini pumpkins or pinecones for texture. On your coffee table, use it as a base for a fall vignette: stack a few vintage books, add a small vase of dried flowers, and let your plate peek out underneath. Or center it on your dining table with a candle trio or a small pumpkin tower, accented by leaf garlands or a burlap runner for rustic charm.



Beyond the Plate: Endless Fall Craft Possibilities

Once you discover how easy and satisfying decoupage can be, you’ll want to add fall-themed tissue paper to everything. Try covering clear ornaments for a festive garland, refreshing old picture frames with leaf prints, wrapping vintage hat boxes for charming seasonal storage, or even decoupaging a small tabletop or tray for a bold autumn statement. The possibilities are endless and each piece becomes a celebration of the season.

Fall Season Home Decor

Even though the fall season doesn’t begin until the end of September I am waving goodbye to summer and looking forward to fall outdoor projects and indoor fall season home decorating.

 




The summer was extremely hot and it prevented us from spending any time outdoors.  And now the days are still hot but the nights are so cool that I had to add a fleece blanket to the bed.  Then today I saw that the leaves from the oak and maple trees are falling  and this is a sign that summer is over and that fall season is coming soon.

 

I normally decorate my home with pumpkin and colorful fall season maple leaves and will shop for new product designs that will compliment my décor scheme.  In the past I bought a pumpkin and sunflower table runner from Zazzle and some sunflower coffee mugs.  I like to add sunflowers to my fall decorations since they do  add  cheerful color and look nice with the colors orange and brown.

 



Here is a photo that I took of my table runner.  I set it on top of my buffet this year and thought it was complimentary.  It added the right enough of seasonal color to my dining area.
