If you love Fall like I do, you enjoy its warm, cozy vibes and all things Pumpkin! You might like mixing current trends with your own style, which often leads to buying new items each year. But this can get expensive over time.

Decorating your home from season to season can definitely get quite expensive, especially if you enjoy completely changing your decor to reflect each unique time of year. However, I’ve discovered a few creative and budget-friendly ways to truly enjoy my favorite season, Fall, without breaking the bank. I’ve drawn inspirations from some of my go-to places, like Birch Lane, Pottery Barn, and Anthologie Home, while also admiring the beautiful works of incredible designers like Joanna Gaines.

Whether you're working with a neutral room and want to upgrade with a few fall accessories (earth-toned blankets, throw pillows, candles) these decor ideas make it easy and affordable to transition your home from summer to autumn.

Pumpkins

Let’s face it, is it really fall without those cheerful, plump Pumpkins? I don’t think so! There are just so many creative ways to decorate with Pumpkins, all depending on how far you want to go with your seasonal flair. You can recreate an array of styles with various types of pumpkins, including ceramic pumpkins, vibrant painted pumpkins, fun pillow pumpkins, and so many more options that tickle your fancy.

No matter which option or even if you decide to choose all of them, these decorating possibilities can be quite affordable if you put in a little effort at home with just a few supplies and a smidge of creativity. With a dash of imagination, you can achieve that custom version that perfectly fits your home and complements your unique style!

Bring the Outdoors In

Find inspiration in nature and create beautiful fall arrangements. Replace your summer flowers with colorful faux branches to bring autumn vibes into your home. Instead of spending too much at craft stores like Michaels, Afloral or Hobby Lobby, gather real branches from your yard to highlight nature's beauty.

By using supplies from Dollar Tree, like floral materials and spray paint, you can turn simple branches into stylish decor without spending much. You can also bring the outdoors in by filling vases with dried grasses or bowls with seasonal items like gourds and fresh apples. Let your home show off the cozy essence of fall!

Switch Out your Artwork

Boost your fall decor with some charming seasonal art that will invigorate your living space. This is an easy and inexpensive way to switch up your autumn style without breaking the bank. You can buy affordable posters from Amazon or unleash your creativity by printing your own designs using websites like Canva, and even obtain free images by using Pexels or Stockx. Additionally, you can take advantage of printing services available at Walgreens and Staples to get that perfect look.

Art featuring warm, dark browns, rich reds, and vibrant greens creates a truly cozy and inviting atmosphere that screams comfort. On the other hand, colorful art showcasing burgundies, deep reds, and bright oranges adds that trendy modern fall vibe to any room in your home. We absolutely adore incorporating artwork of picturesque farms and fall landscapes to truly embody the magic of the Fall season and fill your space with seasonal happiness.

Trade Summer Scents for Fall Aromas

Fill your diffusers and light those enchanting candles with delightful seasonal scents. "Scents like warm cinnamon, sweet apple, cozy pumpkin, or the rustic aroma of wood smoke sandalwood can truly transform the entire atmosphere of any space, wrapping it in a warm, inviting embrace. While quality essential oils and beautifully crafted candles in fancy jars can become rather expensive and may require a small fortune to enjoy, we’ve discovered that transferring those cherished Fall-scented Glade candles into lovely Artisan vases can give them new life.

Alternatively, you can also get creative by incorporating natural ingredients like aromatic cinnamon sticks, zesty oranges, and festive cranberries to infuse your home with that perfect autumnal ambiance.”

Incorporate Cozy Throws and Pillows

Throw blankets can easily enhance the seasonal feel of your home. Select soft, chunky blankets in warm, earthy colors. Keep them within reach by placing them around the room. Adding new pillow covers in similar tones is also an easy and effective change. To save money, buy covers that match your current pillows and simply replace the covers while reusing the inserts.

Add Season Flare to Your Table

Unfortunately, we don’t have a formal dining room or an elegant formal dining table. Instead, we have a semi-small, cozy round table nestled at the far end of our charming kitchen. Interestingly, this table is the very first thing you see when you step into the kitchen, making it an ideal spot to showcase our ever-changing seasonal decor.

Due to the table's modest size and strategic location, we prefer to add subtle, tasteful items to the tabletop rather than overdo it with an abundance of decorations, allowing each piece to shine in its own unique way.
