12 Must-Have Fall Decor Items to Spruce Up Your Home This Season

As the leaves change, it's time to welcome the cozy essence of fall into our homes. Embracing the seasonal transition with warm hues, earthy textures, and inviting elements can elevate your living space and set a welcoming tone for the upcoming months.

Autumn Palette Perfection One of the simplest ways to infuse fall vibes into your home is by incorporating a rich, warm color palette that epitomizes the season. Shades of burnt orange, rustic red, mustard yellow, and deep browns can instantly create a cozy atmosphere. Consider swapping out light summer throw pillows and blankets for one in these autumnal hues to add a touch of warmth to your living room or bedroom.

Crate and Barrel has a beautiful selection of velvet throw pillow covers in all different shades.

Cozy Textures Galore Texture plays a significant role in making your home feel snug and inviting during the fall. Drape a fisherman knit throw over your couch, add a personalized doormat (Pottery Barn has great personalized decor pieces), or lay down a soft area rug to create a tactile haven for you and your guests. These textures not only enhance the visual appeal of your space but also provide comfort and warmth as the temperature drops.

Nature-Inspired Accents Bringing the outdoors in is a timeless trend in fall decor. Consider adorning your living space with elements such as dried floral arrangements, or wooden accents. You can find beautiful wreaths on Etsy crafted by some amazing designers and artists! Last Christmas my Mom gifted Justin & me this stunning bell that has all of the Finger Lakes on it by FLX Bells. I find wind chimes so beautiful and nostalgic. These natural touches not only celebrate the season's beauty but also add a touch of elegance and rustic charm to your home.

Candlelight Ambiance As the days grow shorter, creating a warm and inviting ambiance with candlelight becomes essential. Invest in scented candles with fragrances like cinnamon, apple pie, or pumpkin spice to evoke the scents of the season. Place them strategically around your home to cast a soft glow and fill the air with cozy aromas that will make you feel right at home. We discovered the most amazing long-lasting candles at an antique store years ago. We have been ordering them online ever since. They create the most INCREDIBLE aromas. They make amazing gifts for the holiday season. I also love incorporating unique taper candles into our living area

Pumpkin Spice Everything No fall decor is complete without a nod to everyone's favorite seasonal symbol – the pumpkin! Incorporate variations of pumpkin decor into your home, from ceramic pumpkins and candle holders to plush pumpkin throw pillows. I have been collecting glass pumpkins for years and this one created by Mackenzie Childs is so beautiful. These playful accents add a touch of whimsy and a pop of color, instantly infusing your space with fall spirit.

Festive Table Settings Set a mood for autumnal gatherings by updating your table decor with seasonal elements. Layer textured table runners, rustic-chic dinnerware, and gilded accents like metallic cutlery or napkin rings. Complete the look with a centerpiece of fall foliage, mini pumpkins, or a collection of candles for a tablescape that exudes warmth and elegance.
