Do you remember what it was like to decorate your home for the fall season when you were a kid? Chances are, you had a great time coloring pictures of pumpkins, turkeys, and cobs of corn and hanging them up on the wall or refrigerator.

If you’re wondering how you might approach decorating your apartment for the fall season, it may behoove you to select a theme before you make any individual stylistic choices. You can choose a theme based on a specific color palette, such as a warm-toned palette featuring brooding, dark reds and forest greens, a feeling, such as using items that evoke a specific, cozy vibe, or types of objects, such as placing fall objects like pumpkins in each room. Take a look at your furniture and decorative items. Neutral color palettes can take on just about any fall-festive decorations without issue. If your living space is vibrant and colorful, select fall decorative items that best match your current palette. Just make sure you love the final outcome!
Whatever theme you choose for your autumn apartment decorating, you can’t forget about lighting, specifically with candles and warm mood lighting. Candles and mood lighting really set the tone for fall themes in apartments, and as the sun sets earlier each day, you’ll want to make your living space warm and inviting! There are plenty of autumnal scents to choose from, including cinnamon, fir, vampire, pumpkin, crisp apple, spice pumpkin, clove, ginger, vanilla, bourbon pear, fall leaves, and ginger chai! Additionally, lanterns and candles work well with pumpkins and fall foliage to create a lavish centerpiece on your dining table or for use as a mantle decoration!
When we think of what makes fall decorating so luscious and inviting, we often conjure up images of cozy throw blankets, faux fur pillows, candlelight, and fairy lights, but what about the artwork hanging on your walls? Make the most of the changing seasons by switching out the artwork on your walls. You can purchase several prints from local artists, buy some online, or even paint your own outdoor fall scenes (if you’re in a particularly artistic mood)! While artistic skill is useful in this case, it’s not totally necessary. In fact, sometimes, the most simple art offers the most in terms of aesthetic and visual interest. Use inks in colors reminiscent of fall to paint abstract shapes, create a mosaic using found fall objects, or string together pinecones and hang them on your walls!
One of the most romantic and aesthetically pleasing features of fall decorations is autumnal foliage. What better way to introduce beautiful outdoor elements to your indoor setting than with natural objects collected during the fall season? You might collect leaves, pinecones, and small gourds to glass vases, bowls, or other transparent vessels and display them around your apartment. Alternatively, you might purchase several potted plants, such as marigolds or mums, and place them outside on your patio or front door. You could also collect fallen leaves with bright orange, yellow, and red hues and craft a DIY wreath, create a colorful collage, or display them in a tall, transparent vase. You could also collect a fallen branch and decorate it with pinecones, fallen feathers, and other outdoor objects.
