As summer comes to a close and fall is upon us, it’s time to update your home to bring that fresh fall feeling inside. Whether you are a big decorator when it comes to seasons or are just getting started, there are many simple updates you can make to your existing decor and furniture to give your home a whole new vibe. This could be with small additions like pumpkin decor or fall florals, or bigger upgrades like an accent chair or new wall art—there are sure to be options that are perfect for you. As you begin planning your decorations, here are five easy ways you can make your home the perfect space for the season.

1. Fall Decor Items

One of the easiest updates to make quick and temporary updates to your decor is through small accent pieces. When it comes to fall decorations, these could be things like faux pumpkins, leaves, corn cobs or candles. These are great ways to incorporate fall colors into your room and are easy to add on top of coffee tables, mantles or side tables. You can also channel your inner crafty side and put together cornucopias or wreaths to add a personal touch (or purchase them premade if your craft skills or time are limited.)

Pumpkins are probably one of the most famous fall decorations, and there are so many ways to incorporate them into your own home. While it can be fun to carve pumpkins with family and friends, faux pumpkins are a perfect indoor and mess-free addition. You can find these in many sizes, colors and shapes, and they can be added into arrangements or stand-alone pieces.

By utilizing candles in your decor, you not only get the opportunity to add pops of color, but can integrate classic fall scents like apple, pumpkin and cinnamon to create an immersive fall experience with minimal effort. Group some of your favorite fall items together to create a mantel or tablescape. Simply include pumpkins, gourds, berries, fall leaves and candles with fall decor figures on a fall table runner.

2. Spice up the Walls

Adding new art or decor to your walls is a great and seamless way to transition your rooms from season to season. This can not only blend seasonal colors and patterns but is easy to switch out when it is time for a change. Finding prints that bring you nostalgic memories of fall or even utilizing pictures of your own are a great way to make this fall decor personal!

3. Add a new Rug

A rug that incorporates a blend of fall hues and neutrals can help warm up your space and ground your seasonal decor. This is also great for integrating cozy textures into your space that suit the autumnal season! Choose from a wide selection of area rugs to fit the scale of your space: larger area rugs such as popular 8x10 rugs are ideal for bigger areas like your living room or master bedroom, but small accent rugs might be better for rooms such as your bathrooms or entryways.

4. Small and Cozy Add-ons

Along with the fall decor items mentioned earlier, other simple decorating items can include fall-themed or colored throw pillows and accent blankets. These will not only work to complement your other decorations but will also be amazing for the chilly nights that come with the season. Their functionality and comfort are bound to make them a staple in your decorating for years to come.

5. Bigger Upgrades

If fall is your absolute favorite time of the year, or if you have been looking for a furniture piece to give your room a little pop, this may be your sign to invest in accent pieces in some of your favorite hues and patterns. This could be items ranging from accent chairs, storage ottomans, and even a new couch. No matter what you are looking for, you can find a unique piece that not only complements your fall decorations but also looks beautiful on its own year-round!

This is the perfect time of year to get dialed into your fall decorating and see how your home can be an indoor fall oasis! Whether you choose to utilize small decor items or major furniture upgrades, decorating for the season will create a fun and cozy environment you and your guests will love to spend time in.
