Your yard already holds Fall 2025’s best color story. Why let it fade outside?
Your yard already has the best color palette of Fall 2025: Italian Plum purples in the beautyberries, tomato-cream shades in the marigolds, and sun-burnt orange in the tangerines. Why let those colors fade outside when you can bring them in? Your garden becomes home décor with affordable, cheap canvas prints.
Project idea
All the work put into the yard can be seen not only by the harvest but also by printing those results into décor. Gives an extra proud moment of the effort put into the garden. Also, fall’s jewel tones make the rooms feel finished and cozy. The best thing? It’s super budget-friendly (all you need is your phone, an idea of what you want to print, and you’re ready to go).
Color roadmap: Fall 2025 palette and what to photograph
As mentioned before, fall 2025 blends warm, earthy tones. Here’s how to find them in Southern yards:
Electric purple: Gulf muhly plumes at sunset, Mexican bush sage, American beautyberry clusters, purple ornamental peppers.
Tomato Cream / Sunburn: Satsuma and mandarin harvests, marigolds, lantana, coppery coleus.
Earthy browns & neutrals: Crape myrtle seed heads, pinecones, magnolia leaves, dried pods, pale grass for soft backdrops.
Styling tip: Choose one dominant color for your canvas and repeat it twice in the room (pillow, throw, vase) for a pulled-together look.
Shot lists for families & homeschool projects
A great way to involve the kids in this project is by creating a small “color hunt” over the weekend. This allows them to spend time outdoors and differentiate between different colors.
As an example, find three subjects in the plum color, three in tomato/ orange color, and one in neutral (whites, beige, light brown).
From the phone to the wall: picking the right canvas
If you’re considering adding a canvas over a sofa, aim for a canvas that’s about 60–75% of the sofa width (often 30–40 inches wide). Another possibility is over a mantel: Leave 6–10 inches between the mantel top and canvas bottom so the art can breathe.
Moving to the hallway, you can do a trio: Three 16×20 canvases spaced 2–3 inches apart keep the sightline tidy.
How to clean a canvas? Simply dust with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners and direct, hot sunlight.
Style the room without stretching the budget
Start with one “hero canvas”, think Gulf muhly or beautyberry close-up, to set the mood. Add two small accents in the same color family (a pillow and a throw), then keep everything else calm and neutral. When winter arrives, swap in an evergreen branch study or a citrus flat-lay, and your room feels new again, with the same hardware and layout.
Where to order
For budget-friendly, personalized canvases that arrive ready to hang, consider CanvasDiscount.com, an American brand with products made in the US. It is simple and fast: Upload your photos, choose your size, preview the edges, and you’re done.
And there you have it. Once you see the first fall colors appear, pick your fall color, take three simple photos over the weekend, and print one canvas for the wall you see most.
In a single swap, your home will look like the season you love, and it will tell your story every time you walk by.
