Switch Out Your Throw Pillows

Switching out your throw pillows is a quick and easy way to spruce up your living room. Pillows are a great way to add extra texture and a pop of fall color to your space.

You could also simply switch up your pillow covers for the season. They are less expensive and take up less storage space then actual pillows.

Go for warmer textures, such as velvet, plush or faux fur.

Add Throw Blankets

Who doesn’t love curling up with a blanket on the couch? Throw blankets are both practical and decorative. They also bring more texture and pattern into your home.

Put away your lightweight linens and opt for heavier throws, that will keep you warm. Use them to drape over a couch or sofa, or as an extra blanket on the bed.

Another way to style a throw, is to place it in an open decorative basket and pull out one of the corners so it hangs out over the edge.

Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

Pumpkins are a fall decor staple, and it is so easy to incorporate them into you home decor.

Use mini pumpkins or artificial pumpkins and display them all around the house. Decorate your shelves, mantel or staircase, add them to your tablescape or place them on a side table. It is such a quick and simple way to add a touch of fall to your home.

Get creative and paint them in different colors to create stylish seasonal decor.

Make Seasonal Floral Arrangements

Bring the beauty of nature indoors and freshen up your home with a seasonal floral arrangement.

You will need fresh-cut flowers from your garden or a store, and the right vase to put them in.

For a colorful fall floral arrangement think dahlias, zinnias, asters, mums or marigolds. Add bittersweet branches and thistles, and some greenery as a backdrop. Voila, your beautiful arrangement is ready!

You could place your floral arrangement in a minimalist glass vase, a stylish amber glass bottle, or a rustic galvanized bucket. Choose whatever suits your interior best.

If you can’t get your hands on fresh flowers, you can always use faux or dried flowers to create a floral arrangement. These are long-lasting and super low-maintenance.

Dress Your Mantel

Decorate your mantel for fall to make your home feel extra cozy.

Use decor items that are of different size, shapes and height to add visual interest to your mantel. Put taller items in the back and smaller items in the front, so they won’t get lost. And don’t forget about the balance.

Hang a seasonal sign or print on the wall to serve as a backdrop. For a more relaxed look simply lean the artwork against the wall.

Arrange fall elements like pumpkins, gourds, large pinecones on your mantel. Place a couple of tall candlesticks to add height or use pretty lanterns.

Place a vase with a floral arrangement or berry branches.

You can also add a fall garland to the front of a mantel.

Make a Dinner Table Centerpiece

Put together an eye-catching dinner table centerpiece. You don’t have to break the bank to create a beautiful arrangement, look around your house and try to use what you already have.

For an easy fall centerpiece find a pretty vessel and fill it with fall items. This could be a wicker tray, a shallow wooden basket, or a simple rounded tray. Fill it with pumpkins and gourds of various size, pinecones, add some backyard blooms and fall leaves.

Finish this easy arrangement by placing it on a plaid table runner.

Light Some Candles

Candles can bring a feeling of warmth and comfort to any space, their soft glow instantly makes a room feel cozy and inviting.

Candles are aesthetically pleasing on their own. Place taper candles on your mantel or dining room table, or group a few pillar candles of various size on a decorative tray and display them on your side table. Place scented candles on your entryway table.

There are so many design and scent options available nowadays, that if you feel a little lost just go for simple white candles. They always look elegant and sophisticated.

If you want to feel extra cozy, burn a candle with a wooden wick. These candles emit a crackling sound similar to a burning fireplace.

In case you are worried about the open flame, opt in for LED candles. They are safer than the real candles, and they don’t produce smoke.

Display Natural Elements

This is a low-to-no-cost fall decor. Fill glass containers, such as vases or jars, with natural fall elements, like acorns, pinecones or chestnuts, that you can collect from your own back yard.

Put real or faux fall branches in glass vases for a natural and elegant look.

Update Your Wall Art

Decorate your entrance door by placing a welcoming fall doormat.
