With leaves changing colors, temperatures growing colder, and the air becoming crisp, we are ready to welcome the cozy, beautiful season of fall. Between enjoying your first pumpkin latte and making gratifying visits to apple orchards, everyone always wants to spare some time to transition their home to fall decor, both inside and outside.
Since fall is right around the corner, you must be wondering how you can make the most out of this season. Apart from participating in a jack-o’-lantern carving sesh and going for a hike, giving your home a makeover with festive fall decorations can make this period a lot more delightful.
So, while nature is casting its magic outside, let’s throw on our chunky knit sweaters and get ready to bring feelings of warmth, comfort, and coziness into our homes!
Add Autumnal Accents
Scattering pumpkins around your home is one of the most common and fun ways of embracing this season, but it doesn’t end here. Incorporating other accessories in autumnal colors like gray, orange, and brown can also easily introduce fall vibes to your space.
Scented Candles
There’s something very special and nostalgic about the smell of crisp fallen leaves, burning wood, and the earthy aroma of mushrooms.
But guess what? You can invite these scents indoors, too, by investing in autumn-scented candles!
We’ve compiled a list of the best scents that can help establish a constant feeling of pleasure and warmth in your home.
- Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin (a blend of fresh ground clove and warm cinnamon)
- Pumpkin Apple (mixture of clover buds, pumpkins, and apples)
- Pumpkin Spice (composed of rich pumpkin and cinnamon sugar)
- Brown Sugar Vanilla
- Sandalwood
- Pecan Pie
- Fireside candle (woodsy scents of musk and amber)
Throw Blankets
There’s no better feeling than curling up in a cozy blanket on a chilly evening with your favorite book.
Adding texture through warm throw blankets can bring you that luxury and comfort. To match them with the autumnal color scheme, plaid patterns in muted tones or solid rusty hues can work well.
Throw Pillows
Fluffy and cushiony throw pillows in your bedroom and lounge are great fall decor items. Go for a neutral color palette with shades like cognac brown, desert orange, medium olive green, rust red, and mustard yellow. You can also consider making knit pillows for a homespun look.
Adorn Your Tables With Fall Decorations
Don’t forget to create an autumnal ambiance in the common areas of your home by bringing fall decor items to your tables.
After all, every tiny detail counts!
Here’s a list of functional yet lovely ideas you can choose from for your kitchen island or coffee tables.
Centerpiece
Before deciding what you want as a centerpiece, shop your home. We’re sure you’ll find some interesting and attractive items. Some examples include
- Trays: Brass, basket style, metal, glass, or wood; you choose!
- Flower Bowls: Pick any material such as weaved, ceramic, or metal for your bowls and fill them with moss, garden shears, fruits, vines, and wispy flowers
- Linens: Go for dishcloths as napkins, cheese cloths as table runners, and a painted canvas for a tablecloth — be innovative!
- Fancy Vases: Fall flowers and decorative gourds both are great options to fill a vase
Glassware And Plates
Consider purchasing glassware and plates that complement the overall fall vibes on your home. Search for glasses and cups painted with autumn patterns and replace bright white plates with off-white and warmer tones.
Table Runner
Try an edile runner for some creativity this year.
Flowers fade over time, but fruits can be enjoyed throughout the following week!
Decorate your runner with red leaf lettuce, eggplant, black grapes, beets, artichokes, and red pears. You can add other fruits and vegetables according to your preference but remember to follow a similar color palette for a coherent look.
Decorate Your Front Door With A Wreath
Your backyard is brimful of beautiful fallen leaves, pine cones, and dried branches.
This poses a great chance to show off your artistic side.
Step outside, collect material, and start decorating your DIY wreath.
Nestle pine cones, flowers, and round ornaments into the wreath form. Secure the items with floral wire and layer in dried fruits and extra greens like thistle and rosemary to add interest.
If you don’t want to get crafty, you can dig through some local stores to find an attractive yet affordable faux wreath for your front door.
Conclusion
Autumn brings tons of excitement; candle lights and sparkling twinkle lights, s’mores beside the campfire, warm throws, pumpkin gourds, and so much more.
Get ready to embrace every bit of whatever this beautiful season has to offer — and begin by accessorizing your home with the aforementioned tips to bring nature’s magical sights and scents indoors this autumn!
