Easy Autumn Decorating Ideas to Effortlessly Update Your Home

As cooler temperatures arrive, combine fall colors, some autumn decorating ideas, and a few pumpkins to give your house a quick seasonal makeover. You don’t need to plan for big projects to bring fall to your home. It can be as simple as a new doormat or a showstopping wreath. Or flaunt nature’s bounty like gourds and pumpkins on your front steps or as a centerpiece on your dining table.

Autumn Decorating Ideas 

Looking for an all-over fall theme? Use fall colors or incorporate earth tones throughout your home’s decor. You’ll be amazed at how simple it is to transform your space with these autumn decorating ideas that feature the most beautiful colors and bounty of the season.

Fireplace Features 

It might be too soon to build a fire, but you can still make your fireplace the focal point of your living room with some strategically placed pumpkins. Stack them in an empty fireplace for an autumn decorating idea that’s simple to do. Decorate the mantel above with a harvest display of dried grass, ornamental kale, and seasonal produce.

Natural Centerpiece 

Create the ultimate fall centerpiece with garden-grown elements. Thanks to their oblong shape, squash is the perfect vehicle for fall florals. Hollow out a gourd and place it on a rustic cakestand for a kitchen or dining room centerpiece. Fill with zinnias, dahlias, mums, daisies, or other flowers with vibrant fall colors.

Reading Nook 

Fall should be all things comforting and cozy. Create the perfect book nook with warm colors, rustic elements, fluffy pillows, a reading chair, and a few gourds for good measure. Use a wire basket to show off your fall bounty.

Cute Carved Pumpkins 

Autumn decorating ideas must include a carved pumpkin. These harvest additions are eye-catching by day and charming by night. Add something unique to your pumpkin, like a carving of a monstera leaf or succulents. Add a simple smiling face to your pumpkin if you’re more traditional.

Closet Creations 

Raid your closets and use what you already own for easy autumn decorating ideas. Small wood chairs and stools on this front porch become displays for a mix of gourds. Branches of a Chinese lantern plant create a stunning fall floral arrangement when gathered in a basket and mounted to the front door.
