Learn easy and budget-friendly ways to add some touches of fall into your home decor in this post!
Once August hits, it seems like fall is right around the corner. It may be as hot as ever out, but kids start to go back to school, the pumpkin spice latte comes back around, and the decor section of stores becomes filled with fall-style home decor.
While we may be tempted to go and buy all of the “It’s fall, ya’ll” signs and table runners with pumpkins and leaves on them. there are more subtle and stylish ways to add fall decor to your home. The key is to put little hints here and there while incorporating it into the existing decor that you have.
Where to Put Seasonal Decor
Companies will sell you fall-themed decor to go just about anywhere. However, some places make more sense than others to add fall-themed decor. A few of the best places for seasonal decor are:
Fireplace mantel: This is the perfect place for seasonal decor because it’s front and center while being out of the way
Front porch: This makes your home a very inviting place for guests!
Dining table: A table centerpiece or setting is easy to change out for the seasons or to use if you’re hosting a special event
Coffee table: Similar to the dining table, decor for the coffee table is easy to change out and puts the seasonal decor on full display
Entry table: Not everyone may have an entry table, but if you do, it’s a great place to switch out seasonal decor. Similar to the front porch, it makes an inviting place for yourself and guests!

Wreaths
Wreaths are always a great way to add an easy touch of a season to a home. They add a pop of character to the exterior of the home. You can also add wreaths inside on doors and windows.
Pumpkins
What could say fall better than a pumpkin?! Pumpkins can literally be thrown everywhere to say “hey, it’s fall!” Try incorporating them into a little vignette paired with floral pieces, candles, and other small decor. While all of these options are fake pumpkins, real pumpkins work too, just be prepared to buy new ones each year!
Mums
Another classically fall decoration – mums! Mums are typically put outdoors on porches, decks, and other areas in pots or planted in the ground to add a lot of color. They can be kept inside, but can be a bit trickier to maintain.
Dried Flowers
There’s something about dried flowers that is so perfect for fall. Stick these in a vase or a pumpkin and add instant interest!
Fall Tones
Next, we have the general category of ~fall tones~.
Everyone knows the typical fall colors: the colors that you naturally start to see outside when all of the leaves are changing color: oranges, yellows, browns, reds, etc. Basically add anything in these tones and you’ll have subtle hints of fall in your home decor.
Candles
Last, candles! To be fair, candles aren’t all that specific to fall. However, candles feel warm and cozy when the air starts to get cool and crisp. Bonus points if they’re scented to smell like fall!
