Decorating for autumn is so much fun. It’s time to turn your home back into a cozy nest to cocoon in.

Fall means pumpkins. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bread and pumpkins to decorate your home. Your entryway should start the fall parade of pumpkin everything to all that knock on your door.

2) Candles, candles and more candles

Besides pumpkins, candles are also something you can never have enough of decorating your home.

Scented candles like cinnamon roll, vanilla bean, espresso, brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and apple pie are just some of the fragrances to enjoy this season.

3) Reading nook

Create your own special cozy area where you can settle in and finally read those books you’ve been meaning to get to.

Bonus points if your area is near the fireplace.

4) Setting the table

With all the different bounties of fall, it makes decorating your table that much more fun.

There’s so many things to pick from, why not create a different tablescape every week?

5) What about setting table outside?

Fall means still being able to take advantage of weather you love to be in.

Carry your fall decor to your outside tables on beautiful nights and embrace the season.

6) Bring out the blankets

Don’t you just love relaxing on the couch snug under a cozy blanket with a hot cup of tea in hand?

Seriously…heaven!

7) More pumpkins

Pumpkins on the porch, pumpkins on the table and pumpkins in baskets. Mini pumpkins are just the cutest and making a pile of them together will make your heart soar.

8) Fall harvest

Pumpkins aren’t the only fall fruits and vegetables that make beautiful decorations. Pears, apples, figs and pomegranates also make a stunning display.

9) Autumn wreath

Greet your family and friends with a gorgeous wreath. This one is made out of rose hips and hawthorne. Isn’t it gorgeous?

10) Colorful Indian corn

Dried Indian corn is a visual feast that adds a colorful touch to any room. Display it in a basket or bowls or add it to your mantle for a wow factor.

11) Fondue nights

Make sure you have a fondue pot handy for those special nights when you want to hang around the fire and get cozy.

Who doesn’t love their food dipped in something divine? You can find an amazing chocolate fondue recipe here.

12) Board games

A stack of board games is a great reminder of happy memories. Why have them tucked away in a cupboard, when you can make them part of the decor?

Having them front and center in everyone’s view will inspire your family to challenge each other to a play off.

13) Rustic bread

The smell of bread baking can turn any house into a heavenly place. Start pulling out all those recipes you’ve been wanting to try to get ready for a delicious autumn.

Not only will freshly baked bread make your taste buds happy, but it will certainly make your house smell amazing.

14) Chinese lantern

There’s something so beautiful about Chinese lanterns. They certainly add a punch to your fall decor.

To make a beautiful arrangement, add a bouquet of Chinese lanterns to a rustic container like an old wood barrel or an antique crock. Remove the leaves and add other fall elements like leaves.

15) Plaid love

Can I tell you how much I love plaid? Plaid shirts, plaid blankets and plaid pillows just spell out cozy living.

17) Seeds of greatness

Acorns are the perfect fall decor item. It’s amazing that from one small acorn, a mighty tree can be grown.

18) Coffee / Tea Station

Make sure you have a dedicated spot to make the most divine hot drinks for fall. If you love cappuccino, have your own espresso front and center.

19) Indoor nature

Bring the outside in by adding houseplants throughout your home. Succulents, Christmas cactus, Peace lily, English ivy and Jade plants are just some of the ideas.

20) Fairy lights

I bet if someone did a study on if adding fairy lights to home decor, it would show that they add a touch of magic to everyone that uses them.

Maybe they remind us of twinkling stars in the sky and that’s why we have such a love for adding them to our homes.

Whatever the reason, add some to your decor and see if the magic touches you too.

21) Window dressing

Add a few fall elements to your window boxes for a warm welcoming touch.

Now it’s time to get busy and start adding rustic, fall ideas to your home. What I love about this season is the emphasis on adding natural items to decorate our world.
