It’s getting chilly outside, and the leaves are starting to fall. That means it’s time to pull out your cozy sweaters, head to Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice Latte, and decorate your home for the new season. From Halloween décor, candles, fun throw pillows, and all the other seasonal things that make our homes scream fall, tons of trendy items are available to take your home to the next level.
So, if you want a living room, front porch, and kitchen that scream, “I love Hallmark movies,” you’ve got some serious catching up to do. Let’s discuss all the popular fall décor items you’ve got to have this season so you know where to shop, what to buy, and how to decorate.
First Things First: Keep it Classy and Festive
It can be tempting to deck your home out with tons of overwhelming fall décor—think jack o’ lanterns, ghosts, witches, and more. However, it’s better to keep things slightly more understated this season. Of course, if you love bold decorations, we aren’t here to stop you. But if you want to stay on trend, keep things slightly more minimal. Things like chic velvet pillows in fall colors, muted throw blankets, and understated candles are all the rage.
Additionally, don’t overlook the importance of putting together a beautiful fall table setting. Whether hosting guests or simply spending a night with your partner, you should consider how your table looks. You can put a plaid tablecloth on the dining room table, adorn the table with fall flowers, and add some fine China in fall-themed colors.

It’s Time to Shop, But How Can I Find Inspo?
Now that we’ve been over a few great places to buy Halloween décor, and a few pieces we love, it’s time for you to start decorating your home. We understand this is daunting. So, to make the process a little bit simpler, you’ve got to go online to find inspiration.
These days, the easiest way to find design inspiration is by looking at social media. Try going on Instagram or TikTok and searching things like “Spooky Season,” “Halloween Décor,” or “Halloween DIY.” All of these searches should help you find ideas. But as you look through pictures of other people’s homes, remember to always listen to your gut instinct.
If you don’t like something, don’t implement it into your design; if you love something, be sure to do whatever you can to implement it. Each home should look different, and your home should fit your needs and wants. Get creative this spooky season; put out the fall decorations that make you happy because, in the end, it’s your home!
