If you spend as much time in your kitchen as I do, you would probably agree that the kitchen is truly the heart of the home. \u00a0When the cozy autumn season rolls around, why not bring some simple fall touches with some fall kitchen decor too?! \u00a0While you’re cozying up the rest of your home this time of year, don’t forget about your kitchen too!<\/strong><\/p>\n Admittedly, my fall kitchen decorations are minimal and intentionally so. \u00a0After all, the kitchen is not only a place where we spend a lot of time. \u00a0We also work hard in this room.<\/p>\n I am a big fan of working to create spaces that feel cozy and inviting. \u00a0At the same time, I need these spaces to function super well for me and my family too.<\/strong><\/p>\n On my early fall home tour, (you can see it HERE)<\/span>,<\/a><\/strong> I shared the dining room that is open to the kitchen. \u00a0However, I didn’t get to the actual kitchen. \u00a0Since then, I’ve also added more seasonal decor.<\/p>\n So, come join me to chat about some super easy elegant fall kitchen ideas to create a great spot for gathering with your family!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Kids-in-kitchen–scaled.jpg” alt=”Payton mixing up dough in a bowl next to a pumpkin” title_text=”Kids in kitchen” admin_label=”IMG kids in kitchen” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”what are the colors for fall kitchens?” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Before we dive into the how of kitchen fall decor, we will answer a couple of important questions about the what of fall kitchen decorations.<\/p>\n When it comes to fall decorations, I think it’s much more about creating a feeling than using certain decor.<\/strong> \u00a0Warm fall colors and earth tones along with nostalgic scents that remind us of pumpkin patch days and bonfire evenings combine perfectly with wood and woven textures.<\/p>\n Whether you use a more traditional orange color scheme or bring out some of the other natural colors of fall, such as brown shades and terra cotta, starting with a base of neutral colors will allow you to add whatever fall accents you love!<\/p>\n For my kitchen, I enjoy a few well-placed, simple fall touches to add to the regular everyday items in our kitchen. \u00a0If you want to go all out with fall colors, go for it!<\/strong> \u00a0It is definitely that time of year and the kitchen is a great place to have fun with color.<\/p>\n However, you may find that little touches are just enough to make your kitchen inviting while still being uncluttered enough to meet the everyday needs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Colorful-pumpkins–scaled.jpg” alt=”one bright orange pumpkin with a smaller white pumpkin on top” title_text=”Colorful pumpkins” url=”https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/yLve” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG colorful pumpkins” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=” How do I style my kitchen in the fall?
