Once the calendar hits August, I’m ready to begin decorating for fall! With the temperatures still screaming summer, I tend to ease myself into fall by adding faux florals first! As much as I love and appreciate the high-end stems and branches that I have for the fall season, I don’t love splurging on florals because I know you can find so many affordable options that are just as beautiful. After all, most of them are only out for a few months! Over the last few years, I have made it my mission to try out affordable options for all of you, and I have finally found some really great ones that I’m so excited to share!

Faux trees are one item that I think every house needs! Adding a faux tree to your home instantly adds dimension, texture, height, and a pop of color! Over the years, I have tried out a range of styles from olive to shady lady, citrus, and even eucalyptus. In addition to styles, I have seen both high-end and affordable options in person, giving me a grasp on what’s available at each price point and what’s worth spending money on!

Each year around this time, I always feel myself gravitating towards a simple, clean home. The happiness of the holidays has passed, and I crave a clear space and mind as we begin the new year. Oftentimes, we remove all the holiday decor from our homes and get this feeling of emptiness—don’t worry, I feel it, too. My biggest tip—don’t oversaturate your home again. Let it be, and start simple by adding your favorite faux stems and sprays, either greenery or florals.
