Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year. Everything is so cozy and joyful. Rich colors, crisp weather, warm and soft fabrics and a beautiful smell of freshly baked pies! What`s not to love about that!

Welcome beautiful fall - I’ve been waiting for you and all the good stuff you`re bringing! I don`t know about you, but I like to decorate my home for the fall. Not too much, just a little touches here and there to make it fell warm and cozy, because fall to me is all about coziness! Although I`m a neutral girl, for fall I like to bring some color to our home. My favorite colors lately are rust, turmeric, burnt orange, off white and deep blue. These are the colors that creates such a nice atmosphere and perfectly reflects the hues from the nature. 

I also like to DIY some of my fall decor, it`s a great way to make some unique decorations, like these DIY pumpkins I made a few years ago. If you want to see how to do it, read the post HERE.

So, if you`re like me and want to bring some of the fall beauty to your home, today I’ll be sharing my best 5 fall home decorating tips to easily transition your house from summer to fall. These affordable and easy ideas will get you to think outside what people typically consider fall decor and inspire your creativity! It`s nice to add pumpkins, but there`s other ways to decorate for fall. Let`s get started!

START WITH A CLEAN SLATE

Before decorating, start with removing all of the summer decor and other things you don`t want for the next season. Remove everything from the shelves, cabinets etc. Even remove the paintings and other summer decor from the walls.

Next step is to clean everything and prepare it for decorating. After that, treat yourself with nice cup of coffee or tea and look around your clean home. This will allow you to clearly see the space and to get fresh ideas, witch leads us to a next step...

MAKE A FOCAL POINT

You don`t need to add fall decor in every surface or corner of your home. As the mater of fact, that will be very wrong and not beautiful at all. So, while everything is empty, try to decide which are the main focal points for your decor. After that, try to imagine what will fit nicely in that area and try not to overdo it. Just a few decorative pieces, fall candles or floral arrangements will be enough. Remember,  less is more. You don`t want your house to look like a harvest festival!

On the other hand, you can add a lot of decorations in one spot and make a huge statement, but try to stick with neutrals, because they will look less cluttered and "heavy" in the space. 

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Think beyond the typical fall decor and try to use things you actually use in the space or even use food as a decor. Like a lovely bowl filled with apples, stack of plates with cute kitchen towel on top finished with a pear, few copper mugs on a shelf, vintage books with fall candle.., get creative and think outside the box. On the photo above I used a bowl full of fresh fruit as my centerpiece on the dining table in one of my previous fall home tours.

USE NATURE AS A FREE SHOP

Every year I use this tip and I love it. Nature is best shop in the world and it`s free. So, go outside, take a nice walk and pick whatever your heart desires. Branches, dried grass, colorful fall leaves... This will instantly make your home ready for fall and you can enjoy a little bit of nature indoors. 

MAKE YOUR HOME COZY

Whenever I think of fall, I think about cozy afternoon on the sofa, curled in a soft blanket. Throws and pillows are my favorite and easiest way to add seasonal flair.

I like to add more fluffy pillows and drape throws on the sofa and chairs to add color and soft textures in the space. My family loves to curl up in those when we are watching our favorite shows. 

Last, but not least enjoy the season your way. Don`t feel like you have to use typical fall colors or decorations. Use what you love. You can find how I decorated our house with the touches in blue HERE.

So, if you love blue, pink or neutrals, than go for it. There are no rules you must follow. Just follow your heart and enjoy! Also, I would love to know how often you updates decor in your home and do you decorate for fall. Let me know down in the comments and share your tips for seasonal decorating.

Fall Home Decorating Ideas / Fall Home Tour

Fall home decorating ideas and fall home tour to inspire you for the autumn season.

Welcome to the fall home tour where you can find lots of ideas on how to decorate your home this season! If this is your first time here, welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

Fall is my favorite season to decorate for the warm and fuzzy feels that it brings! I’ve shared many autumn posts over the years and you’ll find several pages of them here and here .

Today I’m sharing some fall decorating ideas in our home you can use to decorate your space easily. I hope that you take some inspiration in simplicity and scroll down to see what I`m sharing this autumn.

 

First thing I always change in the living room are the pillows on the sofa. This is the easiest and most effective (and cost effective) way to add seasonal colors and textures to your space. 

I decided to add a little bit of rust/terracotta color just to change the feel and make space little warmer. 

Second step for me is to make seasonal floral arrangement. Since it`s early fall, there is a plenty of flowers still available. For my coffee table/bench I decided to mix it all up with a flowers in different shades of mauve, dried hydrangeas, small pumpkins and berries and place it in a vintage goblet. Great tip for flower arrangements is to mix natural with fake flowers, this way you can hardly tell which one are not real. Like I said,  just a few details is enough to make different feeling in the space. 

After a long, exhausting day, we love to have a  glass of vine and unwind. It`s so important to have a few moments for yourself and share your day with a family. 

I didn`t do much on our mantel this year, because our TV is there, so there`s not much space to work with.  I only added two vintage gold candlestick on each side of TV. 

Third tip is to use decor that represents the season. You know I love pumpkins, so it shouldn't be any surprise that I love to use them for my decor. For our living room, I mixed faux with real pumpkins around our fireplace, added lanterns and some flowers and orange berries to tie with the arrangement on the coffee table.

I was lucky enough to find this beautiful pale orange pumpkin on the farmers market the other day. She is also very tasty so we are going to use it for some yummy recipes soon.

I also decorated my bar card with candlesticks, baby pumpkins and dry grass in a vase. Did you guessed this grass is from my garden?! Yep, another tip for you is to look for the decor in your garden or city park near you. It`s beautiful and free. 

I love how the other side of the room reflects in a mirror on a bar card. Mirrors are great to decorate with any season, but in a fall or winter they also provide a little bit more light, since there is not as much sun as in the spring and summer.

My reading chair is always by the fireplace. This is my favorite spot in the room where I can stay tucked in my blanket with a cup of coffee and read. 

My neutral kitchen is so nice and bright and brings me so much pleasure to work in. On the shelve I decided to add a few branches with berries in orange fall shades. I put them in jars and candle holders along with our favorite mugs.

My home and blog are about achieving a beautiful home within budget, so I always try to achieve lovely look with a small changes and details, and this is very easy and affordable way to do that. I want to show you that you don`t need to spend a lot of money on decorations every season. Elegant look is not in a bunch of nick nacks all over the place. You just need a few key pieces that will represent the new season in your home. 

On the cabinet I placed cake stand with a beautiful pears and figs from our garden and lovely amber plate with a vintage amber glass decanter. Balancing soft with rustic cuts down on the frilly factor and makes my husband and my son happy.

My point is that fall home decorating ideas can include pretty much anything that "speaks" fall to you, even seasonal fruits or family treasures.

Usually I don`t decorate my kitchen a lot, because I need my work space daily. So, I added just a few branches with orange berries in a vase and a white pumpkin dish on a cake stand in the corner by the window.

With our kitchen open to the dining area, it’s important to create a flow. There is a lot of white, so it needed some pop of color.

A pottery vase with dried hydrangeas, colorful flowers, branches with berries and white and gold candlestick added color and life , since everything else is white and neutral. 

On the dining table is a vintage silver casserole dish that I used to make this cute arrangement with pumpkins, some flowers and berries. 

These pumpkins I made last fall, you can find the full tutorial HERE if you want to make cute and inexpensive pumpkins. This year I added them a few beads and silver trim for a little glitz. 

 

Thanks for coming by for a peek at what’s going on around my house! Fall is just around the corner, so I hope you’ll be inspired by this tips and my home tour! Much love!
