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.
Things We Love for Fall and Where to Find Them
It can be overwhelming to figure out where to buy your fall décor, especially with so many online outlets available these days. As we mentioned, this fall, it’s on-trend to be simple and timeless, so here are a few items that embody that aesthetic and some information about where you can purchase them:
Ceramic Pumpkin in Rust from Target
What’s better than a piece of fall décor for as little as five dollars? This Ceramic Pumpkin in Rust, which comes in three different sizes, is the perfect fall addition to any home—and it doesn’t break the bank. For example, if you want to add a little visual interest to your fireplace, position this pumpkin in all three sizes on your mantle.
Artificial Dry Pampas Flowers from Temu
For those who can’t keep plants alive (we aren’t judging), you may purchase your fall flowers in artificial form. These Artificial Dry Pampas Flowers from Temu are the most beautiful things to put on your coffee or dining room table. Whether you purchase one bunch and pair it with other things or several and put one on each side of your long table, this piece is an affordable addition to your fall décor lineup.
Autumn Garland from Etsy
There’s nothing more traditional than a fall garland, but sometimes, it can be hard to style them, especially if they look dated or too gaudy. This Autumn garland from Etsy is perfect for anyone trying to dress up their living room. Place this under a window or on a shelf, and it will make your room more festive in a sophisticated way.
Pink French Bulldog Skeleton from Target
Don’t worry; pink lovers don’t have to give up the color just because it’s fall. You’ll be turning heads with this adorable but still frightening Pink French Bulldog Skeleton from Target. All your guests will want to know where you got this unique Halloween decoration, and you’ll surely enjoy it because you can be festive while still decorating with pink. If you want to purchase a friend for your bulldog, you can get this Ombre Cat Skeleton, which is cute in its own, spooky way!
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!
