You’ve probably spent the last month or so transitioning your kids into the new school year and settling into a new daily routine. Even into adulthood, the transition from summer to fall—and the back-to-school aura of September—always feels like the perfect time for a reset. This fresh start is the perfect time to spice up your wardrobe, do some organizing, and refocus on your goals. It’s also an excellent opportunity to refresh your home with some fall decor.

Decorating for fall doesn’t have to be a big to-do—and it doesn’t have to be cheesy, either. There are plenty of options for bringing warmth and texture into your home that don’t involve bright orange pumpkins and cheap leaf garlands (although we love those things, too). This season, make your home feel warm and cozy with fall greenery, chic metal accents, fresh artwork, and lived-in linens.

The eight easy tips below will make decorating for fall a (crisp, autumnal) breeze this year. Rather than redecorating your entire home, I’m sharing the easy swaps and small additions I always rely on to add that little bit of extra coziness to my home for the season. Check out the simplest ways to refresh your home decor for fall below.

How I selected this fall home decor

As commerce editor, it’s part of my job to stay in the know about the latest happenings in home decor. I scroll TikTok and Instagram every day (you know… for work), taking note of what people are buying, talking about, and recommending. I’m constantly checking out Everymom-favorite retailers for their latest drops and taking note of anything that might be of interest to all of you. This means that I spend my days scouring the internet for the best finds to create lists just like this one. I curated this selection of fall home decor so that you can shop everything in one place and hopefully gain some of your valuable time back. From budget-friendly Target finds to a couple of investment pieces you’ll have forever, these are the fall home decor pieces you’re sure to love in 2024.

Add a Unique Statement Piece to Any Room

An eye-catching piece in a gorgeous texture such as brass, copper, marble, or wood will bring warmth to any room. This small touch can make a big difference. Each of these pieces is also sure to be a conversation starter.

Introduce Autumnal Greenery, Florals, and Pumpkins

We always think of adding florals for spring, but it can be done for fall as well. There are tons of gorgeous options to add to any vase or vessel in your home. But we’ve included options that come with a vase as well! As an added bonus, most of these picks are from Target and therefore budget-friendly.

Swap Out Your Art

Art is often overlooked as a seasonal swap. We pick out the art in our home once and tend to not touch it again. But it’s one of the easiest things to swap, as you already have the screws in the wall. The most budget-friendly way to do this is by buying digital downloads from Etsy and adding them to frames you already own.

Update Your Front Porch

Your front porch sets the tone for the rest of your home. If you want it to feel warm and welcoming for the fall, add a new welcome mat or a wreath to your front door. The thing we love most about these items is that they’re pretty timeless, so you’ll be able to bring them back every fall for years.
