Can you believe it’s already September?! Every year, I look forward to bringing out the textures, warm tones, and cozy details that make a house feel like fall. If you’ve been craving inspiration for your own seasonal refresh, I’m excited to share some of my favorite fall decorating ideas straight from my home.
In my latest YouTube video, I’m styling the foyer, kitchen, living room, and mantle all with simple updates that layer in coziness without requiring a full makeover. Grab something warm to sip and come decorate with me!
Your entryway sets the tone for your whole home. This year, I added a few thoughtful pieces: a wooden candle with a soft golden glow, a whimsical “hello” sign, and a vase filled with burgundy florals. Just a handful of items can transform a small space into a seasonal welcome.
Pro Tip: Lighting is one of the easiest ways to set the mood so never underestimate the power of a lamp in a cozy corner.
In the living room, it’s all about layering textures. I styled our bookshelves with pumpkins, pinecones, and family photos so try mixing everyday decor with seasonal details so it feels personal and fresh.
On the sofa, I swapped pillow covers for rich fall colors like amber and green velvet, then added a cozy throw to tie everything together. It’s amazing how just a few fabric changes can give the entire space a new look.
The mantle might be my favorite spot to decorate. I layered a brown leaf garland with pinecones, then tucked in touches of mustard, deep green, and beige for a rich, natural vibe. Mixing candle heights and metallic accents added just the right amount of dimension and glow.
Sometimes the smallest spaces bring the most joy. In our dining room sitting area, I refreshed a reading chair with textured pillows and a velvety throw. A pumpkin-scented candle inside a vase of pinecones pulled in both fragrance and warmth.
Pro Tip: A simple basket of blankets nearby makes any corner instantly more inviting.
The kitchen deserves a seasonal touch too! I layered open shelves with pumpkins, foliage, and even tucked a candle into a glass vase. At the sink, I styled everyday essentials, like soap and sponges, on a pedestal with a tiny vase of fresh flowers. Little updates in everyday corners make your whole home feel thoughtful and festive.
This fall, I hope these fall decorating ideas inspire you to create cozy moments in your own home—whether it’s layering your mantle, swapping pillow covers, or adding a candle to your kitchen counter.
