As it is getting cooler and cooler, people will find the importance of fireplace in the home not only because of its warming function but also providing the valuable space for interior decorations around it.

If you are familiar with floral arranging and have a skill of making floral decorations, it is a good idea to decorate the mantel and the front of fireplace with lovely fall flower arrangements. Some people decorate the wall over the mantel by hanging a wall mounted wreath which also offers nice atmosphere around a fireplace in the living room.

Due to the limited space available on the mantel and also in front of a fireplace, large size of floral designs is not suitable. Instead small floral decorations fit the space and also the atmosphere around a fireplace. Therefore all round arrangement and vertical centerpiece decoration will be pretty good to be displayed in that kind of location.

As both of all round arrangement and vertical centerpiece decoration are often taught to beginner students at a classroom, they are not so difficult to make it. Therefore even if you have only an entry level of flower arranging skills, it is worthwhile for you to challenge making this kind of floral decoration.

Not only on Halloween day at the end of October but also on Thanksgiving and even Christmas day,these arrangements will work out to enhance the beautiful decoration of your home. Since you still have lots of time until these holidays, it is not too late to start practicing how to make all round arrangement or vertical centerpiece decorations.

If you have no concrete idea about the materials for floral arrangements, how about using shining autumn leaves or vegetables such as pumpkin and potato etc. etc. The floral design using vegetables and/or fruits are often called Garden Arrangement that creates and brings a little bit different atmosphere to your home.

You can find lots of information that gives you suggestions and ideas about fall season flower arrangement once you search on the internet. Especially on the YouTube videos, there are tons of information that is quite informative and instructive for you to make similar kind of decorations.

Towards the end of October, November and even December, you are encouraged to search various types of floral decorations so that you can try to make beautiful fall arrangements to decorate your home.
