As summer fades gradually into Fall, it’s time to look at a whole new palette of colours for the home. Fall décor ideas allow us to make use of deeper, richer tones, bring natural forms and shapes into the home, and generally create a warm, homely atmosphere so we can snuggle indoors away from the winter chill.

Fall décor introduces russet browns, bronze, gold, and deep red into your home, echoing the colours of the changing leaves. Pops of bright red or deep green reflect the berries and evergreen foliage, while soft yellows and oranges echo the colours you see on a crisp Fall morning or evening. Ideal as feature walls or just to add a little Scandinavian ‘hygge’ to your home, Fall room décor ideas take you into a completely different direction design-wise.

Keeping it small-scale

You may want to take advantage of that fabulous range of Fall colours on offer, but don’t want to go all in and completely redecorate a whole room! In that case, why not scale those Fall décor ideas down a bit and simply add your own little extra touches around the house? A bowl of pine cones sprayed in a variety of Fall shades makes a great centrepiece for a table, and you can create colour themed dressed tables to match the changing season.

If you’re into your crafting then a door wreath woven from corn stems and decorated with beautiful seasonal dried plants and resplendent in ribbons picking up the colours we mentioned earlier makes an ideal outdoor Fall décor touch. And when the season turns towards winter, you can simply store it away safely for next year!

Living room Fall décor ideas

Fall is all about getting the home ready for winter, enjoying the fruits of the harvest, and those all-important family gatherings, which in these difficult times, are even more special. Bringing warmth and comfort into your living room is the key to great Fall interior design, so invest in rich browns and russet-coloured throws, soft cushions in golds and deep bronze, or go for some full-on luxury with bold red velvet curtains. 

Remember, though, that ‘less is more’ so if you want to make a real impact with your Fall décor, keep it simple and limited to a few choice pieces. Finish off with soft lighting in the evening by using large pillar candles to give your room that soft golden glow.

Fall bedroom décor

The same rules apply for the bedroom as they do in the living room. Simply changing the bed linen for more autumnal colours can create a beautifully subtle effect that doesn’t overwhelm your space. In fact, the gorgeous palette of Fall colours you have to play with can create an incredibly relaxed and welcoming space that’s so good, you might just end up keeping it like that all year round! Look for patterns that echo botanical themes, and remember to incorporate lighter background colours such as cream and light yellow to give your Fall décor a real pop.

Fairy lights and candles

We’ve already mentioned candles, but if you’re not happy about having naked flames around the house (especially if you have small children or animals), then go for strings of LED fairy lights that can be used both indoors and outside, to create a twinkling wonderland that’s easy on the eye – and your electricity bill!
