Fall Design Ideas You’ll Fall For
Fall is officially here — the season of crisp breezes, golden leaves, and all things cozy. At Ernest Homes, we love this time of year because it inspires homeowners to refresh their spaces with warm colors, natural textures, and simple touches that make every room feel inviting.
Whether you’re settling into a brand-new Ernest home or getting your current space ready for the season, these easy fall decorating ideas will help you bring autumn style to every corner.
1. Start With a Fall-Inspired Color Palette
Warm hues instantly make a home feel cozy and seasonal. Incorporate rich browns, burnt oranges, golden yellows, and deep greens through accents such as throw pillows, blankets, artwork, or table décor.
If you prefer a softer look, try neutrals with texture — think cream, sage, natural wood, eucalyptus stems, and white pumpkins. A few thoughtfully chosen tones can completely transform a space.
2. Bring the Outdoors In
Fall décor is often best when it’s natural. Collect branches, pinecones, leaves, acorns, or seasonal fruit to display in bowls, vases, or trays. These pieces add charm, texture, and budget-friendly beauty.
Try filling a basket with mini pumpkins or layering a few stems of dried wheat on your entryway table for an effortless, organic look.
3. Add Coziness With Blankets and Pillows
Nothing says fall quite like plush textures. Swap out lightweight summer throws for chunky knits, sherpa, faux fur, or woven blankets. Add pillows in warm tones or patterns — plaid, herringbone, or subtle fall motifs work beautifully.
It’s a simple change that instantly creates warmth and comfort throughout your living spaces.
4. Try Simple DIY Fall Décor
DIY décor allows you to personalize your home and enjoy a fun seasonal activity. A few easy projects include:
- Indian corn wreath: Glue mini corn cobs around a wreath base for a striking front-door piece.
- Natural vases: Hollow out gourds or squash and insert floral tubes for unique seasonal arrangements.
- Ombre pumpkin centerpiece: Paint small pumpkins in gradients — creams, pinks, greens, or terracotta — and display them down your dining table.
