Autumn is here, so is the time to transform your home decor into something for suiting for the time of the year. Get inspiration with these fall decor ideas for your house.
If you’re thinking of textures, motifs, and styles, you have a ton of creative avenues to explore there, as well. So check out these fall decor ideas for the home to inspire you with your decorating.
1. Fall Leaf Pillow
I love a good toss pillow. But the ones you find at stores have become super generic these days.
Making your own pillows is the way to go, but wait, do you really want to make a plain old square, rectangle, or circle pillow again? Seeing as how it’s fall, why don’t you make this leaf-shaped ross pillow instead?
You’ll need to pick out some cotton fabric in your favorite fall color. You’ll also need a sewing machine for this project, a pair of cloth scissors, and some of this wool filling to stuff your pillow with.
2. Hand Stamped books
Coffee table books are a wonderful way to supplement your home decoration. You can artfully arrange or stack them, and that’s it; just let them do their thing to class up your space.In fact, you don’t even need to use coffee table books. Just wrap three hardcover notebooks and embellish them with fall leaves.
Finally, wrap things off with a flourish with a length of patterned ribbon from here.
3. No-Sew Fabric Pumpkins
These plush and quirky pumpkins are so wonderfully easy to make. Did you know that this project needs absolutely no-sewing?
All you need are some scraps of fabric—anything would do, really. This is a great opportunity to use up scraps from your scrap fabric stash.
Just don’t forget to use enough stuffing from here to make your pumpkins nice and plump. You’ll also need a handful of navy beans to help weigh the pumpkin down.
4. DIY Chalkboard Pumpkin
Do you want to make a chalkboard pumpkin out of a cutting board? Well, it isn’t your traditional pumpkin—it’s not big and round but rather is rectangular in shape.
But the handle acts as the stem, and you can always wrap some ribbon or curl some twine to recreate foliage. So how about it? Ready to give it a go?
Then grab some of this chalkboard paint, pick out your cutting board, and also some brushes to get started. Don’t forget, you can also scrawl out a cheery message on the chalkboard!
5. Mason Jar Leaf Lantern
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: mason jars are the most versatile of God’s creations I can think of.
But for this home decor project, you’ll be making a leaf jar lantern. You can make it a scented candle if you like, or you can just use flameless electric tealights(look here) to the same effect.
For this project, you can rope your kids in to help you gather some fallen leaves from the backyard. Alternatively, you can stick to faux leaves if you want to avoid the hassle.
6. Thankful Sign
When you send out gratitude, you receive a lot of things to be grateful for. Having a physical, tangible sign to affirm that you’re thankful can really do wonders for you and your home.
You can simply pick out a wooden pallet or repurposed plank to begin with. Select your wood stain of choice, as well.
If you prefer to use vinyl and make your own stenciled letters, I suggest you invest in a Cricut machine to help you simplify things. If not, just find a metal ‘thankful’ sign, or paint it onto the wood if that’s where the wind takes you!
7. Fall Centerpiece
I just love it when a dollar store craft project turns into a gorgeous decorative item for my home. They’re easy to make, affordable and you can always let your creativity run loose!
This fall centerpiece would be the perfect addition to your table. Are you hosting a party or an informal luncheon, perhaps? Then you’ve got yourself an interesting centerpiece to bring your table together.
So grab some faux flowers from here(fall-themed foliage, of course) and get started on assembling your fall centerpiece.
8. Pumpkin Truck Sign
There are few things quite as wholesome as strolling through the cobbled streets and enjoying a cold fall afternoon at your local farmers’ market. What if I tell you you can recreate that wholesomeness with this pumpkin truck sign?
That vintage truck looks so quaint and charming with those bright orange pumpkins to offset it. You can browse through Pinterest to help you with your design, too.
Once you’re done, just mount the sign up against the mantle or hang it up on the wall, and you’re all set!
9. Glass Jar Pumpkin
Do you save all your glass jars and bottles? Then I bet you have at least a dozen or so lying about that you just can’t bring yourself to get rid of.
How about you finally put them to good use this fall season? You can spruce them up and turn these plain old jars into bright orange pumpkin jars.
10. Fall Leaf Swag
‘Tis the season of burnished reds, spicy oranges, and honey golds. Everywhere you look, you’ll find those hues around you in the trees, on the ground, and on the leaves.
This fall leaf swag would look dashing in any room or home. If you’re hanging it outside, you can enjoy watching it sway in the wind and hear the crisp leaves rustle.
You can use scrap cloth or a wide ribbon to make your bow. So go ahead and grab your supplies to get started!
11. Pressed Leaves Candles
This super pretty craft project is bound to brighten up your room. Also, it’s very easy to make; all you need is a pile of leaves and a heavy book to press them—like a telephone dictionary, perhaps?
But wait, you’ll also need some pillar candles from here. Attaching the leaves to the candles is the next step. You’ll need to soften the surface of the candle just enough to get the leaves to stick.
Figure out where you want your leaves, and then use some greaseproof paper to adhere them.
12. Harvest Basket
A harvest basket is a must-have fall decor item. It’s a picture of lushness, health, and happiness that is bound to brighten up any room.
It’s also a lovely way to spruce up a gift basket. Just tuck a few jars of fig jam, apricot jelly, a slice of pumpkin pie, and a few scented candles, and you’ve got a nice gift hamper ready to go!
But if you’re planning to use it as just a decorative piece, then tuck a few craft pumpkins in there, along with some fall foliage.
