Create A Warm And Inviting Entryway
Whenever people say to me, ” I never know where to start” with decorating, I tell them to start in the entryway. This is the gateway to your home and it sets the tone for the rest of your space. Not only is it the first thing your guests see, but more importantly it’s the first thing you see when you enter your home and we all want to feel good about that.
Fall decor is all about warmth, so use warm colors to accent your foyer. It starts with the front door and continues as you step into your home. An entryway table or piece of furniture is the most common focal point for an entryway, so make this area really pop.
A fall inspired wreath on the front door is an easy way to set the tone. I recently purchased this one from Target. I love the golden tones with my blue door.
Here is how I decorated my foyer table for fall this year. I love incorporating fall floral and soft candlelight.

Hobby Lobby is the best place to find the velvet pumpkin stems/branches. They come in several colors.
Cozy Up Your Living Space
Fall decor is not just sitting a bunch of pumpkins everywhere (although I do have an addiction to pumpkins). It’s about switching out lighter weight fabrics for textured materials like faux fur, knit blankets, and plaid cushions.
My favorite cozy throws:
The best tip I can give you to save money and space on seasonal decor is to invest in pillow covers. They are a lot less expensive and take up very little storage space when not in use.
Accent with fall inspired colors and patterns such as plaid or buffalo check.
Fall decor is also well suited for natural elements like wood, twigs, leaves, acorns, and more rustic accessories.
Bring The Outdoors In
I love this concept for all seasonal decor, but I really love bringing in natural elements for fall decor. Simply filling a vase with leaves or branches will transform a space!

Add Some Charm To Your Table
There is something about fall that seems to bring families together more at the table. Whether it’s a simple soup or chili, or a Thanksgiving spread adding some fall decor to your table will brighten up your home.
Set a fall table with Autumn inspired table linens and a nice centerpiece. Whether your taste is rustic, modern, farmhouse, traditional or anything in between there is fall decor for every style.
These are all examples of different styles of fall table decor.

Spruce Up Your Outdoor Space
Fall decor is not just for inside….it’s the perfect time to show off your porch, patio, or deck! Mums, pumpkins, door decor, and pansies are all good ideas for fall outdoor decor.
These photos were taken at my current home and my previous home. Recreate these looks with corn husks that you can purchase as Lowes or Home Depot. I also used mums, pumpkins, and a faux leaves garland.
I hope you are inspired to do some fall decorating of your own. What are your favorite fall decor ideas?
