We’ve gathered 15 tips from these amazing lifestyle influencers on how to decorate your home for Fall. Whether you like to start small and neutral or go big and bold, we have got the tips and tools you need to make it happen.
The season for change is now.
1. Dried autumn plants
“A few branches with autumn leaves placed into a vase can be a wonderful way of incorporating the new season into your home.”
@holly_lodge_home
According to lifestyle influencer, Amanda, scattering autumn leaves, acorns, conkers, pumpkins and pine cones on a console or dining table also makes a beautiful and interesting table arrangement.
2. Wood tones & earthy saturated colours
@salinamariahome
“My favourite way to welcome the Fall season to my home is through wood tones, cozy textures, fall scents as well as deep, moody and earthy colours. I love using earthy saturated colours for fall. I love how these colours can bring depth to a space. Using all these elements can bring a cozy warm feeling to any space of your home. “
Instagram influencer, Salina, who is an expert in transitional European modern design, loves incorporating cosy textures with wood accents, throws and pillows. For her, candles are also a must-have for the Fall season to bring in that perfect fall scent and cosy ambience.
3. Fall scents that smell like you’re baking… but you’re actually not
“My biggest go-to for creating an inviting space starts with moody dried florals and scent! All that said, apples, oranges, amber, musk, cinnamon sticks, cloves, vanilla… Anything that makes you smell like you’re baking but you’re not actually baking. I love having a few different Fall scents around the house but the one I have here is a Soft Cashmere Amber. The subtle notes of amber, musk and woods create a space that envelops that Fall time feel and really sets the mood for decorating for Fall even more!”

4. Layering for more warmth
@peteandselena
“Autumn is upon us and on our homestead. We like to slowly transition with the seasons by first adding extra comfort to the spaces we live in the most. Of course, our living room is where we gather so a simple way to add warmth is layering in warm knit throws, candles and of course deeper tones of brown, golds and greens… so pile on the pillows and have fun with pattern play.”
5. Blanket ladder
@houseintheheights
“One of my favorite ways to get ready for the fall is by bringing one thing into my living room – a blanket ladder. Nothing says Fall and being cozy like a bunch of blankets, and they look gorgeous being hung up instead of thrown into a basket. Choose different colors and textures to add more Fall vibes to your space.”
6. Digital prints that reflect the season
@creatiffdiy
“I try to keep my seasonal decor low fuss with just a few simple changes that align with the feel of the season. I use the same vases year round, but change out the floral picks. Swapping out white candle sticks with moody or muted fall tones help create a cozy feel as well. And lastly, I look for digital prints that reflect the season that I can print out and display in small frames.”
7. Lamps and candles with warm lighting
@mydreamhome_usplus6
“Fall for me means lamps, warm lighting candles and a changing of my flower arrangements. Candles, cosy nights watching movies under a thick blanket. I don’t add much of the Fall colours. I’m a very neutral person so the key for me is cosy – just lamps on in the house and lots of candles and Fall scents.”
8. Rich colours and textures… and cute pumpkins
@a.moroccanspinkandgold.dream
“When it comes to Fall decor, I love giving our front porch a little upgrade, giving people a glimpse of what’s to come when they step inside. When I think of fall, I think of rich colours and textures, cute pumpkins scattered on the front steps, and lots of mums!”
Now that’s a cute fall decor idea!
9. Fresh fruit or vegetables that serve as decor and food
“I would say my biggest piece of advice when decorating for any season, but especially Fall, because of the beautiful autumnal tones, would be to let nature serve as your main source of inspiration.Whether you are incorporating beautiful Fall foliage into your home, using fresh fruit or vegetables that multi-serve as decor and food, or utilizing native foraged branches to make a wreath for your front door – look at the beauty that surrounds your every day and let the tones, textures, and scents serve as your inspiration while decorating your home this Fall season.”

10. Updating your sofa with autumnal slipcovers from Comfort Works
@onecrafdiygirl
“Add warm tones to your home that add an autumn ambience to your decor, but also look amazing all year. Living in an apartment means less storage, so I love seasonal decor that feels festive all year – which is why I adore my orange slipcover from Comfort Works, it transformed a gray, worn couch into a pumpkin spiced dream.”
11. Cosy textures
@interiors71
“For me it would be adding cosy textures to my linen sofa with things like sheepskins and wool throws to take it from summer through to autumn/winter. I tend to add in warmer tones with cushions & candles as it makes it easy when you have a neutral backdrop to make the seasonal transitional styling changes to take you through season to season.”
12. Faux fall branches
@mixandmatchdesigncompany
“I love adding touches of warmer colors in small ways when fall comes around. My two favorites are swapping throw pillows (keep the inserts and switch the covers!) and using faux fall branches.”
13. Matching pictures, pillowcases and decorative accessories
@jessika.weisse
“For a Fall vibe, I chose matching pictures with four walls, pillowcases and some decorative accessories. The cosy season begins and I want to reflect this in my home. I design my picture wall with warm motifs. Candles are placed and warm colours in beige and orange-brown move into my apartment.”
14. Deeper, moodier colours
@homemade.charm
“I absolutely love using deeper, moodier colours such as burgundies, dulled-down oranges and mustards and sage green. They are some of my all-time favourites.”
Spanish lifestyle influencer, Miriam also likes to add more layers and textures with cosier textiles such as velvet or heavier blankets to create more ambience.
15. Beige, terracotta and brown check patterns
@La Vieille Ferme Beaujolaise
“Create decorations using elements from nature: acorns in a pretty transparent vase, a garland of autumn leaves and pine cones in a pretty wooden bowl.”
For French home decor enthusiast, Alicia, beige, terracotta and brown check patterns are soft, warm colours that make you want to stay at home for a moment of cosiness.
