Autumn Home Decoration Ideas

As the season begins to change, you can too by adding some small autumn accents around the house. These ideas will help you envelope all your senses with fall whether it’s the smell of cinnamon, dried leaves, and cocoa or seeing rich brown and green decor throughout the home reminding us of nature and communing with friends and family.

 
Living Room/Family Room         
  • Pick up some holiday scented candles, incense, oils, or potpourri.
  • Add wood accents throughout the home
  • Change out the decorative pillows with deep natural shades of forest or olive green, maroon red, burnt sienna orange, and any brown.
  • Pick up a unique art piece from a fall festival or local gift shop of locally crafted or found artwork. Sculptures crafted from recycled materials add a rustic flare.

Dining Room
  • If you have an adjoining bar or room on the dinner table, leave some homemade cookies or chocolates on display. Check out some ideas!
  • Cook with fall spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and curry that leave a warming, pleasant scent behind for hours.
  • Leave a caddy filled with teas, cocoas, and mugs on the table to enjoy anytime.
  • Invest in a wine rack and stock it with some seasonal blends.
  • Change out the placemats with Halloween themed ones and choose a different mat for each person. Not everything has to be matching!

Kitchen

-Grow a small herb planter with 2-4 fresh spices you like to use in cooking. The natural pops of color brighten the kitchen too!

-Change out small accents such as the door mats, pot holders, and spoon rest.

-Craft or buy an autumn or spooky Halloween themed bouquet using an old wine or beer bottle.


Outdoors
  • Change out the foliage and add some unopened pumpkins and squashes of all shapes and varieties to the arrangements.
  • Change out your welcome mat.
  • Although Christmas had not arrived, you can still decorate your house trim, doors, decks, tables, and trees with lights, themed lanterns, or solar sidewalk lights to add curb appeal or an intimate outdoor party atmosphere.
