Fall is the most popular season for home décor as people begin to spend more time inside due to cooler weather.  People like their homes to feel cozy, especially when the cold weather hits, but decorating and preparing a home for fall can be costly if people are not careful.  While the trendiest décor is beautiful, it is also expensive, and most of the time it can be made for a much cheaper price and a little time dedicated to the project.  In order to save money for Christmas gifts, homeowners should step away from the pricey decoration stores and learn how to create their own decorations that look just as good or better than what can be found in the stores.  Most of the time people are simply unaware of how easy making decorations can be, and for those who are concerned about the time it takes, many projects only require an hour or two at the very most.    Creative exterior decorations  Do-it-yourself decorations are all the rage, and we are rapidly entering the holiday season when the more décor a home has the homier it feels.  The best part about fall décor is that the trendiest décor seem to be made of the most natural materials such as pumpkins, leaves and pinecones.  A colorful assortment of pumpkins lining porch steps is an easy, cheap, and festive way to decorate the outside of a home for fall.  According to HGTV, a popular fall decoration is the “mini pumpkin wreath,” which is made up of tiny putka pads that look just like mini pumpkins.  The pods never deteriorate so they can be used every year.  Recycling projects are also popular and easy to complete.  Using wood from unused pallets to create a wooden Jack-O-Lantern that sits on your porch is a creative and cheap way to prepare for the holidays.    Ways to liven up gloomy winter days  The summer weather is quickly decreasing in temperature as we enter into the fall and winter seasons, which means much more of our time will be spent indoors.  Rather than shutting yourself in and wasting time on the couch in front of the television, there are several fun and simple projects you can do in order to create a cozier home for the fast approaching holidays.  Statistics show that during cold seasons, homeowners spend most of their time in their kitchens cooking meals and hosting guests.  Nothing pulls people out of the winter gloom like exciting and colorful décor, and the kitchen is a great place to add splashes of color.  While most utensils and dishes have their places secured in cabinets, homeowners can add color to their kitchen by purchasing colorful accessories like salt and pepper shakers, utensil crocks, fruit bowls and cookie jars.  Most of these accessories do not cost a fortune, and can be created at home.  Adding color to a room is sure to add cheer to the gloomiest of winter days.
