Simple Fall Tray Ideas (for a Cozy Family Room)
Usually, I keep my fall decorating pretty simple. Sure, every year I pin a bunch of ideas to my Fall Board on Pinterest with all kind of grand plans. Don’t we all? Then I get realistic and figure out what I want to live with. This year, I started with some simple fall tray ideas in my family room.
In my family room, I just added a couple fall-ish pieces to my rattan tray. As always, pine cones and pumpkins always seem to work for autumn.
Since I already had these blue printed pillows from Pottery Barn, I put them out when I started working on the family room . Then I added the orange pillows to Halloween-it-up a bit.
Because I’ve been procrastinating, I still have the temporary rug in here. Eventually, I will commit to something. Since I love to add colorful pillows, I will probably want to keep the new rug neutral.
Although some color is always nice. For instance, the pops of orange tie in with the little bit of orange on the console table I decorated recently…
But of course, I cannot leave well enough alone! I kept the simple tray but then decided to try a different look for the pillows…
Recently, I bought this pumpkin pillow from Pottery Barn. (I guess I have been shopping there a lot lately…the sectional is from there too!). Anyway, the pumpkin pillow didn’t go with the blue ones so I swapped them out with other pillows from around the house.
The gold pillows came from my living room and I bought the green covers a while ago.
Sure, they are more subtle than the blue and orange but they still work in here.
Just enough orange from the pumpkin pillow and the pumpkin on the coffee table, don’t you think?
Overall, I think both options work. Although, my boys prefer the blue and orange because it “feels more like Halloween that way.” Either way, I think my fall decorating will stay pretty simple!
Which color combination do you like with my simple fall vignette?

Simple is better. Let's keep saying that. :)Love the way the shadows fall from your beautiful shutters.
Thanks, Stacey. I do enjoy the morning light in there! Happy Halloween!
I just found your blog….what a delight. A beautiful home, tastefully appointed.Great job!
Thank you! What a nice thing to say!
I love both. Have seen a lot of blue in fall/Halloween decor this year. I tend to gravitate toward more neutral decor these days. After so many years of bright/jewel toned colors, I just prefer it.
I like the blue and white. I love all your windows! Great light inside. I love it when sun shines in.Brenda
I think it is so Fall festive. The light is amazing and i just love your colors – Happy Halloween 🙂
Such a gorgeous home, and that light is so pretty!
I do like the blue and orange. Happy Halloween!
Love orange and blue….don't you just love making a change in the decor by just swapping out the pillows?….Simplifying seasonal decor is always a good thing. But it is hard for me to go by that rule when decorating for Christmas! Have a great week!
I love both looks. I like the orange and blue because it is bright and happy but the soft look is soothing. I'm no help 🙂
I like both looks because you've coordinated the pillows in the middle section so perfectly with both colour combos – well done! Such wonderful pics of your living room with the sunshine streaming in – very inviting! I'm not sure you need to buy a new rug – love how this one looks with your decor.
Both look fabulous! Orange and blue go well together. It's fun to mix things up a bit. I appreciate you sharing your lovely posts at DI&DI. Happy Sunday.
