30 Fall Decor Trends You'll Fall in Love With

Fall is coming up, and everyone knows what that means – new décor! The best season to decorate is unequivocally autumn because the colors are all stunningly beautiful, the weather is cool and inviting, and there are so many holidays.

What we’re saying is that no matter the color and style, you can’t go wrong – green, red, orange, yellow, it doesn’t matter! If you want to decorate your home in a new way this fall, we have some cool ideas that will spruce everything up just a bit. Mix these things with your current fall décor or just swap things up completely!

Some of these things will seem really familiar while others are totally left-field (in a good way). Who knows, maybe your home will be the envy of your friends and family, and they’ll mimic your taste.

Use Faux Antlers to Decorate

Use Faux Antlers to Decorate

Now, we’re not talking about hanging up deer heads everywhere. Faux antlers are actually stunning when paired with neutral decorations and candles.

Arrange these items together on a table or your kitchen island for a unique look. It will be much more engaging than a group of pumpkins.

Add Corn Kernels for Color and Texture

Add Corn Kernels for Color and Texture

Dried corn kernels are an excellent way to acknowledge that fall is the season for harvest. You can use kernels as fillers in candle votives to add muted color.

Layer different colored kernels and top with a candle for a subtle and clean fall decoration. If you're not a fan of yellow, seek out other varieties of corn. There's blue, black, and red, too!

Try a Neutral Color Palette

Try a Neutral Color Palette

It’s typical for fall decorations to be all about orange and golden yellow to reflect the changing leaves, but neutrals will make more of a statement.

Creams, browns, and grays are relaxing and are easier to transition from fall to winter. Neutral palettes can also make other colors pop, as well. Throwing in a single orange, red, or yellow statement item is perfect.

Incorporate Burlap

Incorporate Burlap

Burlap is appropriate year-round, but it goes particularly well with fall decor. Burlap runners or door wreaths are easy to make and can be combined with any color scheme.

The best part is burlap can be used during the winter months as well, so all you’ll need to do is swap out the complimentary decorations.

String Twinkle Lights with Loose Branches

String Twinkle Lights with Loose Branches

This is an easy and cheap decor option! Gather some branches from your yard and place them in a tall vase, drum, or other cylinder. Then string some twinkle lights through the branches.

You can surround the base with pumpkins, pinecones, or other festive signs of the season. These twinkling branches can also be kept out through the Christmas season.

Make It Cozy with Chunky Knits and Yarn

Make It Cozy with Chunky Knits and Yarn

The weather is getting cooler, which is the perfect opportunity to make your home extra cozy. Chunky knit blankets tossed over your couch are extra inviting.

You can also use yarn to decorate candle holders or door wreaths that adds to the ambiance. Anyone else remember Hygge?

Try a Vase of Wheat Instead of Flowers

Try a Vase of Wheat Instead of Flowers

Since it’s harvest season, decorate with wheat. It’s a soft decoration that you won’t have to worry about.

Place bundles in tall vases and spread them throughout your home. Of course, you can combine them with groups of pumpkins for an eye-catching ensemble.

Add Burgundy to Your Color Scheme

Add Burgundy to Your Color Scheme

Burgundy is a more subdued fall color than orange, and it’s still a nod to the changing leaves. This means it's still warm, inviting, and makes us think of fall. 

Add the color in punches around your home to break up the orange and yellow, or combine it with neutrals for a calm look. Adding a few pieces of burgundy to your home will make a serious statement.

Use Logs for a Rustic Vibe

Use Logs for a Rustic Vibe

Logs tend to be overlooked when it comes to fall decor, but they’re perfect for creating an outdoorsy theme. You can either keep the bark on them or strip it for a lighter look.

Place candles on top to make them into candle holders or simply leave them bare to add height to your table decorations. When Christmas time arrives, you can keep them out and place ornaments on top.

Add Plaid

Add Plaid

If you can wear plaid during the fall, you can decorate with it, too. Plaid table runners, blankets, or pillows are easy ways to incorporate this pattern.

You can also wrap pumpkins in plaid fabric to add texture to your porch decorations. No pattern says fall more than plaid.

Use Wreaths

Use Wreaths

This Joanna Gaines wreath is everything that we love about autumn. Rather than using flowers or gourds, it uses orange leaves to give the feeling of fall in a unique way. 

We also love how it looks so rustic and inviting. Don't be afraid to use wreaths around your house. They look great everywhere, not just your front door.

Create a Tablescape

Create a Tablescape

Right now, tablescapes are some of the biggest decor additions. While you want plenty of room for food, decorate your table because that's where your family will likely gather!

This Magnolia Market set up embraces fall by using faux olive branches and leaves mixed with natural metals and woods.  It definitely looks classic and elegant without being overdone.

Mix Textures

Mix Textures

Mixing up textures will make a home look more dynamic. The great thing about fall is that there are so many textures available to you!

Corn husks, natural gourds, rustic woods, feathers, and burlap are all ways to add texture to your home.  It may be what your decor is missing.

Take It Outside

Take It Outside

We may be tempted to only focus on the inside of our home, but don't forget about the outside! Even if it's just your porch, throw some of these elements out there.

Of course, look out for the weather. You don't want to add a chunky knit blanket to your chair outside only to have it soaked by rain! We suggest faux pumpkins and gourds because they last a lot longer and look just as good.

Hang Scrolls

Hang Scrolls

Scrolls still pop up occasionally around Halloween, but they're amazing enough to be used all throughout fall. Just focus on getting one with a universal message.

This one has a rustic feel, but you can also get one with the Lord's Prayer or a one that encourages the family to get together.

Get Some Rattan Accents

Get Some Rattan Accents

Rattan has gotten really big in the last few months, and it goes perfectly with the fall season. Some people choose to get rattan furniture (like a side table or chair), while others go for décor.

If you already have all the furniture you need, hanging rattan décor can add a nice touch. You can also use it for plants in the spring and summer months!

Use Layered Lighting

Use Layered Lighting

Layered lighting takes a bit of know-how, but once you figure it out, you’ll wonder how you lived without it. Layered lighting can help accentuate places in your home that you want to pop. It can also help balance out the brightness in some areas.

There are three parts to consider: ambient lighting (that provides overall illumination), task lighting (like lamps for reading), and accent lighting (light that will direct toward a specific focal point). It’ll definitely take your fall décor to the next level.

Incorporate a Touch of Nature

Incorporate a Touch of Nature

Plants are becoming a huge trend for décor. Some plants, like pothos, are extremely easy to take care of. Plants can even come in a variety of shades from pink to purple to orange.

If you don’t have a green thumb, you can also add accents that give your home a natural feel. Orange leaf paintings or metallic hanging plant décor add the same feel without weekly watering.

Set Out Mums

Set Out Mums

Mums are classic and will never go away. However, lots of mums on the porch? Huge. Nothing says autumn as well as this flower.

Orange and red mums look especially beautiful in the front of the house when accessorized with various gourds. Adding wood or a haybale can take it a step further!

Add a Cozy Corner

Add a Cozy Corner

Remember when Hygge was huge? It’s a Dutch and Norwegian word that equates to the mood you feel when you’re cozy. A functional house can hardly be completely cozy – it just doesn’t suit the average busy life.

That’s why cozy corners are the way to go. One little nook where you can read or just stare out of the window while drinking a warm cup of coffee or tea. Talk about perfect.

Lay Faux Fur Around

Lay Faux Fur Around

Fur is coming back in fashion and for home décor – faux fur specifically. One way to get ready for fall (and to make your home seem a little cozier) is by throwing a fur blanket over your sofa.

Since faux fur can be dyed any color, it can roll with your fall theme easily. There are also faux fur rugs, pillows, and furniture if that’s your thing.

Go With Mini White Pumpkins

Go With Mini White Pumpkins

Sure, orange pumpkins are great, but have you looked at white pumpkins? White mini pumpkins go with literally any color scheme.

You can get white gourds from the store, or you can go with small, fabric pumpkins. This hits two points: texture and white mini pumpkins.

Hang Rustic Wood

Hang Rustic Wood

Fall and autumn are all about rustic. It almost embraces farm living, which is why hanging wood is a perfect idea.

Not only will it look fantastic with fall décor, but it can also easily carry over into the other seasons. It’s versatile, cozy, and inviting.

Put Flowers in Vintage Tins

Put Flowers in Vintage Tins

Vases are okay, but they can seem a little stuffy. Vintage tins on the other hand? Fantastic. Vintage tins may be hard to come by, but some stores offer recreations as décor.

Throw a little water in the tin and put your favorite flower. You can also put wheat in the tins to go for the ultimate fall décor look.

Hang a Fluttering Mobile

Hang a Fluttering Mobile

Mobiles aren’t just for babies. A beautiful fall leaf mobile is easy to make for yourself. All you need is a little twine, fake leaves, pinecones, and a hoop.

Putting it outside, especially during a windy day, adds a little unique touch to your home. It also offers versatility because you can add whatever fall décor you love most.

Put String Lights in Mason Jars

Put String Lights in Mason Jars

Mason jars for everything fell out of style, but during the fall, it’s perfect. Throwing a few fake leaves, sticks, or terrarium moss into a mason jar with string lights can create a unique accent to place around the home.

The neutral browns also invite the feeling of autumn without clashing with whatever color scheme you’ve curated. It also brings a touch of nature into your house.

Incorporate Velvet

Incorporate Velvet

Who doesn’t love velvet? It’s so incredibly soft and cozy – you see where we’re going here. Coziness basically equals autumn and fall.

You don’t have to use a whole bedspread of velvet, either. A few throw pillows or a blanket will look just as beautiful.

Throw in Some Blue

Throw in Some Blue

Blue for fall?! That's right! One of the newest trends this year is incorporating blue into your fall decor. It offers the chance to get a variety of textures and patterns from plaid to denim and velvet.

Blue also goes great with natural wood and metals, such as bronze and copper. Finally, blue is one of the few colors that go with orange.

Use Faux Candles for Ambiance

Use Faux Candles for Ambiance

No one wants to babysit candles all day or swap them when they’ve burnt out. That’s why faux candles are superior.

Big or small, there are tons of different types for a variety of décor. The only thing you may have to do is occasionally change the batteries.

Paint Some Acorns

Paint Some Acorns

Nothing says fall better than acorns. If you live in a place where the trees produce acorns, you can also get them for free!

Painting acorns fall colors is a fun activity for the kiddos, too. Throw them in a bowl like you would sweets, and you have an instant autumn centerpiece.
