How to Decorate Your Home for Fall With Reusable Items
Cindy VenerioDo you feel a touch of fall in the air? We sure do! That’s why we created this post full of ideas on how you can start decorating your home for fall with beautiful, reusable pieces you can enjoy year after year. From your porch to your living room, these tips will help you create a warm, inviting home for the season.
Reusable décor is not only practical but also sustainable. Whether it’s faux flowers, wreaths, or garlands, fall decorations for your home can be stylish, versatile, and easy to update from one year to the next.
Wreaths
We love wreaths because they make a great first impression when guests arrive. Embracing autumn hues with the right fall wreath is a perfect way to start your seasonal décor project. Wreaths can hang on covered front doors, interior doors, gates, and even garden sheds.
Tips for Fall Wreaths:
-
Choose the correct size: Measure your door, and pick a wreath slightly smaller for the best fit.
-
Stick to a theme: Choose a style that reflects your personal taste, whether classic or rustic.
-
Clean monthly: Keep your wreath looking fresh by dusting it with a feather duster once a month.
-
Add a matching garland: For a cohesive look, pair your wreath with a garland around the door.
-
Get creative: Hang wreaths in unexpected places like above fireplaces, in kids’ rooms, or on empty walls.
Accent Rugs
Alongside your wreath, seasonal accent rugs make guests feel welcome. Choose rugs that work indoor or outdoor, blending with your existing furniture and seasonal décor. Look for patterns and colors that tie into your overall fall color scheme.
Garlands
Garlands are a fun, versatile way to decorate. Drape them along banisters, mantels, or curtain rods, or tack them up in doorways. Mix in mini pumpkins, pinecones, or leaves for added autumn charm.

Centerpieces
Nothing says togetherness like gathering around the dinner table. Create a fall feast for the eyes with a beautiful centerpiece that complements your fall decorations for your home. Candlelight centerpieces add a cozy glow, while floral arrangements bring the rich colors of the season to your table.
Tips for Centerpieces:
-
DIY it: Can’t find the right piece? Create your own with loose stems and silk flowers.
-
Complementary hues: Choose colors that match your existing décor. Neutral tones always work.
-
Tablescapes: Extend your centerpiece with garlands, candles, and extra greenery down the center of the table.
-
Candelabrum: For a warm glow, choose a candelabrum centerpiece.
-
Mix textures: Combine different flower shapes and sizes for visual interest.

Porch Décor
Trick‑or‑treaters are on their way, and your porch is the perfect place to show off your seasonal style. Combine plants, doormats, garlands, and wreaths to create a welcoming entrance. Add a bench decorated with pumpkins or seasonal props for extra charm.
Tips for Porch Décor:
-
Add faux pumpkins: Stack or group them for a classic fall look.
-
Use wooden elements: Warm wood tones add rustic charm.
-
Protect outdoor furniture: Cover items after use to protect them from weather.
-
Hang a wreath: Greet guests with a warm welcome right at the door.
-
Add a seasonal doormat: Tie together your porch décor with a mat that matches your other accents.

Cozy Blankets
Prepare your living room with cozy blankets in rich fall colors like burnt orange, deep red, mustard yellow, and plum. Drape them over sofas or store them in baskets for easy access on chilly nights.
Coffee Table Accents
Your coffee table is the perfect spot for small autumn arrangements. Try silk sunflowers, mums, or peonies in oranges, reds, yellows, and purples. These flowers look real, won’t wither, and can be reused every fall.
Pumpkins
Pumpkins are an autumn staple—real or faux. Get creative by painting, glittering, or carving them for unique effects.

Tips for Fireplace Décor:

Hang a wreath above: Adds a vertical focal point.
-
Decorate the mantel: Layer faux stems, candles, and small pumpkins.
-
Add a garland: Frame your mantel with a seasonal garland.
-
Choose a centerpiece: Anchor your display with a statement arrangement.
