The Easiest Fall Decorating Ideas in 2022

We’re well into September and it’s time to start thinking about getting your home ready for the cozier months ahead. And if you weren’t already decorating for fall in August, then now is the perfect time to share some fall decorating ideas with you!

Decorating for the cozy fall season should be fun and easy! There are plenty of easy fall decorating ideas to add a touch of autumn to your home like swapping out your kitchen towels, adding a fall centerpiece or even just adding some earth tones to your space.

Here are five easy ideas to get your home cozy and ready for fall:

ADD SOME MINIMALIST DECOR

Nothing says a change in seasons like a eucalyptus fall wreath on your front door. And if you’re not into traditional fall decor which can be full of color, then why not try modern minimalist fall decor instead?

I have to admit, I do love some minimalist fall decor like a simple eucalyptus wreath or simple white painted pumpkin. Both minimalist and neutral fall decor is always best when it comes to fall apartment decor as it makes your space feel cozy without being too over the top.

In fact, a minimalist decorative autumn table would not be complete without a fall pumpkin or some gourds on display. Grab a few mini pumpkins of different sizes and colors from your local pumpkin patch or grocery store, and arrange them however you like.

Try Your Hand At DIY Decorating

You can even make some easy fall diy home decor yourself. Using a wreath form, some burlap fabric, and some artificial leaves or flowers, you can make a beautiful fall wreath in no time at all! After all fall crafts are all apart of the fun anyway. You can arrange some beautiful leaves in a vase as a centerpiece to go with the rest of your fall table decor. 

Another diy home decor thing you could try is placing a small glass vase inside of a large glass vase and fill the space between vases full of fresh autumn leaves or fall flowers. This would be perfect on your dining room table or coffee table.

Even filling a basket with pumpkins and gourds is an easy way to decorate for fall. And would fall decor even be complete without cinnamon scented pinecones?

Use Vibrant Autumn Colors As Home Accents

One of the easiest ways to add a touch of fall to your home is by using traditional autumn colors as accents. The season calls for colors like deep red, orange, and yellow, so use those as your fall decor inspiration.

This can be done in a number of ways, such as adding a colorful throw blanket to your living room couch or placing some vibrant accent pillows on your bed. You could also swap out your kitchen towels and rugs for some that feature fall colors. Another way to add a pop of color is by painting your front door or adding a wreath with some autumnal hues.

Accent Your Home With Soft Earth Tones

And on the other side of that are going with neutrals and earth tones. Earth tones are one of the most popular fall decorating trends in 2022 and they can really just switch up the overall atmosphere in your home. And neutral fall decor is still holding strong.

So if you’re looking for a more subdued way to bring fall into your home, then try accenting with some soft earth tones. This color palette is warm and inviting, and it’s perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere. Start by adding some brown or tan throws and pillows to your living room.

Switch Up Your Window Treatments

A simple switch of your window treatment can take your home from summer to fall in one step. Hanging up some new curtains can give you that chic fall living room that you’re after. Adding warmer, richer tones will also help to make your space feel more cozy. 

As the days get shorter and the nights get longer, you’ll want to add some extra warmth to your home by hanging heavy curtains over. You could even add some blackout curtains if you want to make your bedroom extra cozy for sleeping in on those chilly mornings.

Style Your Shelves with Fall Decor

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to add some autumnal flair to your home, try decorating your shelves! Shelf styling is a good idea no matter what time of the year it is! But we think it’s especially effective because you can add some of your favorite fall shelf decor and other decorative knick-knacks. So take some time to style your shelves with some of your home favorites this season.

Get Cozy With Textiles & Texture

As you now know, getting that autumn home vibe isn’t really just about adding seasonal decoration. It’s also just about swapping out your summery throw pillows and blankets for warmer, cozier options.

Think plaids, velvets, and rich jewel tones. Or if solid colors are more your thing, try rich burgundy, forest green, or even a deep earthy neutral. Add an area rug. A nice thick area rug will do. Not only will this make your space more inviting, it can also help keep you warm as the temperature starts to drop at night.

Changing some of the textures for your seasonal interior is another home decor trend and of the many popular fall trends that makes an impact to a space. In fact changing up or mixing textures is a designer trick that can really change the look of a home.

Create a Seasonal Focal Point

Whether it’s a fireplace, a console table, or even just a blank white wall, every space needs a focal point. And what better way to create a seasonal focal point than by adding a fall-themed wreath to your front door? You can also try hanging a large piece of autumn-inspired artwork or placing a group of pumpkins or gourds on a tray as a centerpiece. Get creative and have fun with it!

Warm Up Your Lighting

There’s nothing quite like snuggling up by the fireplace with a good book on a chilly fall evening. If you don’t have a fireplace, though, don’t worry— there are plenty of other ways to create a cozy atmosphere in your home.

Try setting up an intimate area complete with blankets and pillows or setting up a “den” area with fairy lights and string lights for reading or relaxing. Faux fur throws are also great for adding a touch of luxury and warmth. And of course you can’t forget about the candles!

Make Your Home Smell Like Autumn

Speaking of candles! Now that we’re spending more time at home, it’s important to make sure that your space smells just as good as it looks. There are a few different ways to get that autumn scent. 

One of the easiest ways to do this is to simmer cinnamon and cloves on the stove. You can also try using an essential oil diffuser with Fall-scented oils like cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange.

Or you can just order some candles from our shop! Our Destination collection is perfect for fall season! Lund has an amber scent mixed with with scents like vanilla and musk. Vienna is mouthwatering with bourbon, tobacco and brown sugar. If that doesn’t sound like fall to you, we don’t know what does.

Decorate Your Entryway Table

Your entryway is the first thing people see when they come to your home, so make sure it’s inviting! It’s also a perfect opportunity to display a decorative autumn centerpiece.

Start by decluttering any unnecessary items and adding some seasonal decoration. A fall-themed wreath or a fall garland hung on the door or wall is always a good idea. You can also add a few pumpkins or gourds, leaves, and branches to create a natural, autumnal look. If you have a console table, consider adding a fall-scented candle or arrangement of fall leaves in a vase.
