There’s still time to welcome fall in all its glory with open arms—and, guess what? You don’t even have to leave your home to do so! Simple additions like dining and living room decor, plaid pillows and chunky knit blankets make a huge difference in your home. With these fall decoration ideas, you can create the cozy indoors of your dreams, and you’ll be on your way to the holiday décor scheme of your dreams as well.

Dial-Up the Cozy Factor

A little extra “cozy” never hurt anyone! In your space, create layers of warmth with rugs, pillows and cozy throws. Rugs really pull a space together, as well as provide depth. Consider switching out your current rugs or adding rugs that contain colors such as navy, dark reds and neutral colors to help create a fall-ready feel. You might even consider layering rugs, which on both carpet and hardwood floors is a really smart and simple way to give a room instant texture as well as play with a number of patterns.

Chunky knit blankets work beautifully for fall and can be effortlessly placed throughout your home to instantly transform your room. Lay the throw across the back of your sofa to add comfort and pattern into your space. Throw blankets can also be placed on a wooden ladder until they are ready to be used. Create a homier feel in your space by adding on the textures. Textures like quilted cotton, faux furs and heavy knits are all you need to create a warm and toasty home feel. Subtle textures and colors are sure to complement your seasonal allure. Opt for a pop of plaid to quickly and easily create major seasonal vibes that are idea for fall through winter. For a bolder fall statement, choose fall-themed pillows that feature images of pumpkins, turkeys, leaves and all things fall! The second your guests step into the room; they will be presented with the warmth of autumn. Plus, you can easily switch your fall pillows out with holiday ones as you cross days of your calendar and edge toward the season.

Autumn Accents

One of the easiest ways to bring fall into your home is through wall art. By switching out the piece above your sofa or even a couple of paintings in your gallery wall with seasonal scenes, you can bring a big fall impact into your living space. You can also bring the outdoors in by adding natural elements such as berries, leaves and (real or faux) fall flowers. Replace your vases of summer buds with sunflowers. Adding a simple wreath or crafted garland along the mantle or plain wall proves that sometimes the simplest look really is the best. You can even add fall-themed ribbons or bows to your simple garland now, and switch them out to adorn your garland with Christmas bows and ornaments after Thanksgiving.

Timeless Tablescape

Incorporate the sights and textures of the fall season in your marvelous centerpieces. Again, plaid is always a good idea once the weather turns cool. Patterned blankets laid over a dining table set the base for a cozy tablescape. The soft glow of flickering candles surrounded by ceramic pumpkins and faux foliage will create all the fall feels in one place. Bring in earthy tones through the use of a wooden tray and add miniature white pumpkins and foliage to create the perfect centerpiece not only for fall, but your Thanksgiving dinner as well. Pillar candles, decorative pumpkins and berries inside of a wooden box create a delightful fall centerpiece. A long and narrow base can be easily placed in the middle of the dining room table, on a sideboard or even on the mantle. For a simpler look, a burst of greenery along with some miniature pumpkins are all you need to freshen up your tablescape.

Scents of the Season

Pumpkin spice, toasted marshmallows, cinnamon and cranberry—these scents are some of the favorite things that come out of the fall season. Cozying up space is as much about scent as it is about decorating. By incorporating candles, you can fill every room in your home with these festive fragrances from October through December! If you are obsessed with the scent of the candle at the store but are not sure it’s looks will complement your other fall decor, DIY it! Simply remove the labels and dress them up with gorgeous candle holders, fall-colored bows or wooden accents.

These updates, which are simple and affordable, will have your home ready to embrace the season of fall in no time, and they’ll be easy to update or switch out with winter décor as the snow continues to set in.
