Fall is the season of carved pumpkins, plaids, and leaf wreaths – all traditional and beautiful fall home decor. But this year, we’re looking for unique ways to decorate our homes for fall. As we move into fall coziness, slowing down, and reconnecting with family, let’s refresh your home space to get ready to settle in for winter. 

Here are 5 fall ideas to decorate your home this year.

Fall porchscapes

Your front porch is the first thing you see when you pull into your driveway. So why not decorate it with an inviting, elaborate fall design? Think pumpkins, corn stalks, mums, straw bales, and other colorful, seasonal props. With a well-designed fall porchscape, you can now enjoy the outdoors without leaving your house. And if your porch is big enough, you can use the decorated space as an area to entertain your family and friends.

Checkerboard pattern

The checkerboard pattern is a classical pattern that dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. It’s a look that feels timeless and seeing a new revival as a fall home decor trend. To bring this pattern into your home, use rugs, vases, trays, and linens (to name a few ideas). If you have a bright room, consider using a muted color rug or blanket to complement the space. 

Smoky glassware

Bright pastel glass colors were big this summer. And as we move into fall, colored glassware is still staying a top home decor trend – except in muted colors. So swap out your bright-colored glassware for muted mauves, taupes, and charcoal. These colors are a great complement to your autumn-themed table setting.

Natural stone & warm marble

Marble and stone are long-lasting, natural elements that look great in a home. And while white marble is a timeless piece, more classic tones of brown, red, and neutral hues are the trend this fall to decorate your home. Think rich rust and sandy tones – a stone or marble warm enough to use as a fall color. This will help create a cozy warmth in any space. To achieve this look, use sculptural accents, bowls, coasters, and candleholders.

Earthy, nature-inspired colors

When you think of fall colors, most think of red, yellow, and brown. But this fall season, deep greens, blues, and browns are one of the top fall home decor ideas. Look for deeper shades with warm undertones to tie in the earthier colors of fall. These warm, rich colors will add a layer of sophistication and character to a room without being overwhelming. 

And even if you prefer traditional fall colors, layer in an unexpected color like navy blue or olive green to add a splash of uniqueness. Decorate your home with rugs, pillows, blankets, and metal accents (to add a bit of shine).
