Fall Orchid Decor: 4 Unique Ideas

September 26, 2024

When decorating your home for fall, consider using orchids to add a unique artistic flair to almost any space. Although orchids are tropical plants, they are also versatile, making them a sustainable decor choice for any season, especially since their stunning blooms last for weeks. 

They not only come in a variety of colors, but with a little DIY creativity, you can display these beauties in a way that will captivate and delight your guests! 

Here are four great orchid decorating ideas for fall

Add a Splash of Natural Autumn Color 

When decorating for fall, the whites, pinks, and light purples of summer give way to deep magentas and fire glow oranges of fall. Purchase a fall-colored Watercolor Orchid as a mantelpiece or a dining room table centerpiece for a stunning autumn vibe! 

Pair Your Orchid with Other Fall Decor 

While orchids can certainly stand alone, you can add some tiny pumpkins and gourds to the mix as well. Check out the offerings at your local farmer's market, and arrange your gourds, pumpkins and orchid in a display basket or platter. This is a straightforward way to tap into your sense of playfulness and creativity! This is a great centerpiece on your holiday table. 

Get Spooky 

With Halloween just around the corner, you can add spooky decorations to any of your existing orchids or indoor plants. Drape your pots lightly in fake spider webs or match your fall-colored orchid to your favorite Halloween wreath. You can even dress your orchid pots up with some fun holiday fabric.  

This is a wonderful way to add some brightness to your decor and try something different! 

Create a Pumpkin Vase 

Rather than sticking a candle in your carved pumpkin, place your orchid inside and allow the pumpkin to act as a vase. Make sure you keep your orchid inside its transparent plastic grower pot and continue your weekly watering routine. Also, place your pumpkin in a room where your orchid still gets enough natural light.  

Branch Out and Share Your Creativity
