Are you looking for a way to incorporate the calming colors of celadon green & cream in your early Autumn decor? I consider these two colors to be the basis of the Calming Coastal Colors for Autumn palette. These colors are meant to calm and soothe, making them perfect for use in home decor.
These colors are meant to bring out the natural beauty of the seasons. They’re also great to use as accents in rooms with neutral tones. These colors also great for use on walls, furniture, and other surfaces.
I love using these colors year round but especially in the Fall when people are expecting to see the more traditional Fall colors.
My “Muse”
Usually when I am starting to work on a vignette, I find something to use as my inspiration or my muse. My inspiration for the Calming Coastal Colors for Autumn was actually this picture of Dave (Mr Farmhouse for those of you who might be new!). This picture was taken a few years ago when we were fortunate enough to travel to the island of Lido, Italy. It is off the coast of Venice.
I also “borrowed” a few items from the display I did on the dining room sideboard a few years ago. I had a similar color scheme that year.
The pumpkin topiary in coastal shades as well as the single pumpkin on the tabletop helped add a touch of fall to this vignette. The ceramic pitcher and blue canning jars belonged to my Mom. Their color reminds of the sea. The three sand dollars were among the shells that were in my Grandmother’s collection.
Close Up of Barn Tin Cream Colored Tray
This tray! I love it! It is made from recycled barn tin. Last year I used it on my dining area side table. It currently is on my coffee stand. I need to move it to a better location! It was a splurge item that I bought with some of my tip money when I still owned Makin’ Pizza! If you are interested in learning more about my thyme as an entrepreneur, all the details are here:
The Most Recent Rendition of Entry Way (Summer)
Pictured below is how the entryway looked for Summer. The oak framed mirror originally belonged to my Mother. The story of where she found it and how she got it “home” can be found here:
Calming Coastal Colors for Autumn in the Entryway
Shells, wood tones and a few pumpkins are used to create a charming vignette using a color palette based on the soothing colors of the sea.
By leaving some of the key elements in place, it didn’t take long to give the entryway a quick refresh for Autumn using the calming coastal colors featuring celadon green and cream.
I used a spray cleaner and a Mr Clean sponge to clean the off white pillar. More tips on how to clean old wood can be found here:
I love the shell covered orbs. I had used them in the sand dollar centerpiece
earlier this year. I added a few green leaves underneath one of the orbs for the entryway vignette.
These leaves are similar to the ones I used.
The company I bought my shell covered orbs from is out of business. You could either use these woven orbs or substitute a few shells.
The battery operated candles I used in this vignette actually change colors. I keep them on the regular candle color but I could change them to a different color if I wanted. The link below is for a similar battery candle. These need 2 AAA batteries each.
These need 2 AAA batteries each.
My exact topiary isn’t available. This set of two topiaries is similar. There are other similar ones on Amazon.
These white artificial pumpkins are very similar to the ones I have.

Thank you, Maria!
Rosemary Palmer says
Great colors – I’ve done something kind of like this in the past but going a little brighter this year with adding in orange. Although here in TN I see too much orange all year long.
Kimberly Snyder says
Thank you, Rosemary! My husband isn’t a fan of orange or pumpkins so I have to find ways to bring touches of fall into the house without too much orange!
Cindy says
These are such great colors. Love the hubs posing on his resting spot
