Decorating your home for fall should be an exciting way to add new life to each room instead of a stressful and time-consuming process every year. By decorating with simple and versatile fall home decor, you can bring the feel of the season into each room with minimal effort and make your home feel like those on Pinterest! We’ve outlined eight simple ways for you to give your home a beautiful “fall-feel” that will leave you looking forward to decorating each season.
1. Fall Wall Art and Pictures
Fall paintings and wall art are a simple way to give your home the sensation of the new season without having to redo an entire room. You can substitute the pictures that are already hanging around your house with pictures of foliage or pictures of you and your loved ones from past fall activities such as at a corn maze or pumpkin patch. These methods will add fall colors to your room and fill it with personalized decor unique to your home.
2. Fall Candles
Fall candles are an amazing and simple way to add color to a room and are a timeless decoration. Candles can be put on end tables, bookshelves or added to fall-themed centerpieces. They add color and warmth to a room and help you to get into the seasonal spirit. They are also available in many traditional fall scents such as pumpkin and apple, creating an immersive experience within a room.
3. Pumpkins
Pumpkins, both real and faux, bring a strong sense of autumn into a room. They are a simple and popular fall home decor that, similar to candles, can be put almost anywhere in a room to bring out the seasonal feel. Pumpkins can be stacked, placed next to each other or used individually to spice up the decor and are a great but simple way to bring the season into your home!
4. Accent Pillows and Throw Blankets
Some of the simplest fall home decor items are accent pillows and throw blankets. These can be added to any room to bring in the new seasonal feel. Similar to fall paintings, pillows with red, orange and brown tones can be substituted for your typical throw pillows to easily decorate for the season. This takes minimal effort and can be done quickly every season. Throw blankets with thick textures in warm or neutral tones can also have this same effect and are another simple way to add to the fall decor. Try draping one over the back of your sofa or an accent chair for the perfect designer-approved touch.
5. Autumn wreaths
Wreaths are a timeless decoration that are not just for the Christmas season! Fall wreaths can be crafted from materials such as foliage or branches and are another simple way to spice up your decorating. Wreathes like these can be made as DIY projects or bought at the store. They are beautiful decorations that can go both on doors and on walls to add to the autumn feel of your home with the rest of its new decorations!
6. Baskets of fall favors
Baskets, similar to wreaths, can be utilized both by hanging on the outside of doors and sitting on tables. Typical-sized wicker baskets can be filled with many of the different fall home decor items that have been mentioned previously, such as fall candles, pumpkins and foliage to create unique centerpiece designs and statement pieces.
7. Area Rugs
A simple way to spice up any room is by adding an area rug or swapping an existing one out for a rug with new patterns or colors. Similar to throw blankets, any rugs in warm or neutral colors would be a great addition to fall decor. Rugs with cozy thick textures are also ideal for creating an inviting ambiance that beckons of fall.
8. Fall Colors
When it comes to decorating for the season, colors are one of the most important and easy things that you can bring into a room. The colors that best represent fall are the ones that can be found within nature during this season. By bringing these oranges, reds, yellows and browns into your home—either through these previous ideas or through other home décor and accent pieces—you can work to replicate the traditional cozy and fun feelings that come with the thoughts of fall.
Updating your home with these simple yet modern fall decor items is a great way to get into the fall spirit and turn your home into something that is truly unique to you. Happy decorating!
