Autumn cones after red-orange leavesand sunny pumpkins, cones are the main sign of late autumn and a gift for a decorator, a natural material that will highlight all the advantages of country or Provence.

An additional plus is a family trip for raw materials, which can easily captivate even the youngest members of the home team: all children like to collect and paint cones.
To decorate, choose contrasting colorscombinations: for example, orange pumpkin - brown cones - red physalis or rose hips, etc. Multi-colored cones of different shapes and sizes look beautiful in tall glass containers. As a "vase" you can use not only traditional dishes, but also interesting old boxes, flower stands or wooden cutting boards.

2. Contrasting minimalism.It would seem that colorful autumn decor and the minimalists' penchant for self-restraint are incompatible. Nothing of the sort! Try using one item on the table: a small pumpkin, a pomegranate, an elegant branch with several berries or an autumn leaf - and the table will become a work of art, attracting all the attention of your guests.
3. Country style.A deliberately rough, rustic decor emphasizes the essence of autumn parties, the end of the harvest season and the human desire for nature and naturalness. Use a wooden trough, enamel pots or old colanders, tin dishes as a vase or dish. The overall color scheme of the composition should be in “earthy” brown-beige or fresh white-green tones with rare splashes of bright color - yellow pumpkins or red berries.
Do it yourself One of the simplest and most effectiveways to decorate the center of the table - a cereal bouquet. It is not difficult to make one. You will need a bunch of dry and strong cereals, twine and a sponge, which is used by florists. First, you need to cut two small cylinders out of the sponge and glue them together - the width of the shape will determine the width of the "bouquet".
Step two - add grass.First, we will cover our form with suitable brown or beige paper and grease it with glue that does not leave marks - PVC, for example. Carefully place our cereals in one layer on the adhesive base. After the layer dries a little, trim the grass from the "bottom" side.
It takes 3-4 to create the desired effect.layers of grains, successively glued one on top of the other. After that, we “fill” the middle of the composition with the remaining grains, sticking them directly into the sponge. Finally, the last step is a few turns of twine or tape. The bouquet is ready!
