Fall is such a fun and exciting time of year. The leaves change colors, the weather begins to cool off, and there’s just something so comforting about curling up with a pumpkin spice latte in front of a fire while you prepare for the holidays that are sure to come soon. So we know what you’re thinking: “How am I going to decorate my home this season?” Never fear! We’ve compiled a list of fun and creative fall decoration ideas for your home that will make it feel like you lived near an apple orchard all year long!
Pumpkins
Pumpkins are a classic fall decoration. They’re great because they last for quite some time and you can do so much with them! Here are just a few ideas: Display pumpkins on your porch to greet guests as they arrive at your house this season. Use small pumpkins as decorations around candles or light fixtures in the living room. Display them on your mantel over the fireplace, or use more giant pumpkins as decorations in corners of rooms or against walls. Nothing says fall like seeing pumpkins in and around your home!
Gourds
Gourds are another excellent fall decoration that comes in different shapes and sizes. They’re easy to find at craft stores like Michaels or Joann’s if you don’t have time to go out searching for them yourself! Place the gourd on your front porch, over a window, in corners of rooms, under flower vases, or other small decorations…the possibilities are endless with these unique creations! We especially love using tiny gourds as cardholders by tying names onto twine and suspending it from within each one. You can even use larger ones for succulent planters! Make sure to get creative because every shape will look fabulous no matter what kind of decor arrangement you choose!
Pinecones
The pinecone is another classic fall decoration that you can use all season long! Here are just a few ideas: Make garland or string lights out of the small, medium, and large-sized pinecones to hang around windows or on railings in your home. You can also place pinecones in glass vases with tealight candles. Arrange them on tables or shelves as decoration.
Use them to decorate the mantle in your living room with a wreath made from pinecones and pumpkins for an extra pop of color, or display the wreath on your front door. If you want to combine them, you can display them by putting some into a basket with other fall favorites and placing it on your coffee table or scattering them around other fall decorations for an extra touch of elegance!
Leaves
Collecting leaves is a fun activity to do with the family while out enjoying nature this fall. You can also purchase bags of autumnal colored leaves at craft stores if you don’t have time to go outside and collect some yourself! Display them in vases all over your house for an elegant look that screams “autumn.” Bundle up small twigs together using string or wire, and then wrap the bundle in natural-looking fabric like burlap to create rustic decor pieces perfect for every room in the house. The best part? You never have to water these little bundles because they’re naturally dried out!
