How to Decorate for Fall 2025

The season is changing—the weather is starting to cool, leaves are turning golden, and your favorite sweaters are ready to make an appearance. As you settle into autumn, you may wonder: When is the perfect time to decorate for fall? The truth is, there’s no “right” answer. Start whenever you feel inspired.

Whether you prefer a minimal refresh or a dramatic seasonal transformation, you can achieve a beautiful look without overspending. From budget-friendly swaps like pillow covers and throw blankets to standout accents like fall wreaths and seasonal faux plants, we’ll guide you through creating a warm and inviting home.

Things to Consider

Before shopping for fall home decorating essentials, take a moment to plan. Our interior designers recommend:

Get this artificial cedar tree.

1. Set a budget: It may not be the most exciting step, but it’s essential for keeping your seasonal décor spending under control. This way, you’ll avoid buying pieces you don’t need.

2. Choose your space first:  Decide which room (or rooms) you’ll refresh. It could be the living room, front porch, bedroom, or even the bathroom. This helps you shop with intention and avoid mismatched pieces.

3. Pick the right size décor: If you’re adding a faux maple tree, measure your ceiling height and surrounding furniture so it feels proportional. A 4' tree works well in smaller spaces, while larger rooms can handle taller statement trees.

Fall Colors & Themes

Nature provides the perfect fall color palette. Consider incorporating red, orange, yellow, green, brown, grey, purple, pastel white, blue, and burgundy.

Popular décor styles for fall:

• Farmhouse: Warm wood accents, distressed finishes, and cozy textures.

• Rustic: Wreaths made from twigs or grasses and dark-toned hardware.

• Traditional: Elegant vases filled with autumn loose stems for a formal yet festive look.

• Minimalist: Simple, soft touches like neutral throws and understated garlands.

• Boho: Faux garlands and textured accents to complement layered, eclectic spaces.

Front Porch Decorating Ideas

Don’t forget the front porch—it’s the first impression of your seasonal style. Add a fall wreath to your door, layer a patterned doormat over a neutral base, and flank the entry with fall faux plants in rustic planters. Finish the look with pumpkins or lanterns for a welcoming touch. To preserve their beauty and longevity, exhibit your wreaths in a sheltered location where they can be appreciated for many years.

Fall Living Room Décor

Your living room is the perfect place to bring in fall colors and textures.

• Swap light summer pillows for warm-toned throw pillows and throw blankets in plaid or knit patterns.

• Accent empty walls with fall garlands or wall décor.

• Add rustic wooden accents, baskets for storage, and seasonal planters.

Tip: A few dimly lit faux cedars in corners can make your space feel instantly cozier.

Fall Fireplace Décor

Nothing says autumn like a decorated mantel:

• Hang a harvest wreath above the fireplace.

• Scatter mini pumpkins along the mantel.

• Mix in neutral blooms in vases for a balanced, timeless look.

Rustic & Minimal Fall Styling

• Rustic: Combine warm-toned baskets, cozy blankets, and wood-accent planters.

• Minimal: Replace everyday planters with seasonal sculptural ones, or add a single fall garland to a reading nook.

Fall Bathroom Décor

Even small spaces can get a seasonal update:

• Add a cinnamon-scented candle for a cozy spa-like feel.

• Place a small vase of autumn loose stems on the counter.

• Swap in textured hand towels in warm hues.

The living room is a blank canvas that you can decorate into a welcoming palette with every fall shade. Get inspired by these well-decorated spaces.

1. Add accents with warm undertones - If you're more on the minimalist and Scandinavian side of design, consider accenting your living room with accents that can blend with wooden, brown ones. For example, you can add cozy blankets and rustic-inspired pillows to baskets. Accent the look with some mini, dimly lit faux cedars.

2. Add greenery in different planters - Now that you have a color palette in mind, an easy and low-cost way to refresh your home is by changing the planter or vase your greenery is housed in. First, consider adding them to planters with rustic and warm undertones. Then, once fall is over, you can repot the foliage in another pot that matches the season.

Instead, you don't have to change your design scheme entirely but subtly add elements to maintain that clean and well-put together look.

1. Consider fall accessories - When we imagine the picturesque fall, we often envision flannels, plaid, and solid warm colors. Just as in fashion, you can inject those cozy patterns with blankets and pillows throughout the home, especially in the living room. For a cohesive look, pair a patterned decorative throw pillow with two solid colors.

2. Add sculptural planters - An affordable way to quickly spruce up your space at an affordable price is to change your planters for some that blend with the season. Since minimalist décor is usually less clutter, you can still maintain the look by replacing existing décor and swapping for seasonal ones.

3. Hang a garland to a nook - Create the ultimate reading nook for those cozy mornings. Add an autumn garland next to a sofa and watch the space come to life. Even if you prefer less, refresh your area quickly.
