6 Easy Ways You Can Decorate for Fall Without Breaking the Bank

Estimated reading time: 2.5 minutes

As a chill settles in the air and the days grow short, Autumn is the perfect time to add warm touches and new décor to your home. How do you make your home look seasonal and cozy without going over budget?

1. Bring the Warmth In

One of the easiest ways to decorate for autumn is using tea lights or seasonally scented candles. Popular fall scents include pumpkin, all spice, and cinnamon. To enhance your tea lights, you can put them in vases or glass with warm hues, like red, orange, or yellow. The soft, warm light emitted can make your home feel cozy and glowing.

2. Natural Elements

As trees begin to shed their leaves to prepare for winter, there’s no shortage of natural elements you can feature in your space. A decorative bowl filled with pinecones can make an elegant centerpiece on a dining or coffee table. Acorn garland creates a seasonal scene on a blank wall. Branches with colorful foliage can be placed in a vase and displayed on bookshelves.

3. Reuse Other Seasonal Items

Sometimes, seeing other decorations in a different light can inspire new interiors. Heavy knit blankets that you use in winter can make great transitional pieces for the chilly nights of autumn. Spring greens and fake floral arrangements can make porches eye catching and dynamic.

4. Dollar Store Finds

We all love a good shopping haul, but they can get expensive. For a range of affordable seasonal décor, check out your local dollar store. From party essentials to everyday trinkets, you may have the chance to find your new favorite seasonal decoration for a fraction of a box store’s price.

5. Thrifting Mixed with Modern

Visiting your local thrift shop can uncover unique treasures at a great price. Vintage quilts or embroidered textiles can become focal points in your living room. Candle holders or lanterns from days’ past can look haunting in windows at night.

6. Host a Decoration Swap Party

You can invite your loved ones over who also love to decorate and host a swap party. For this idea, ask your friends and family to bring over a bin of their seasonal décor that they feel uninspired by. Not only will you gain new decorations, but you’ll also be able to celebrate the changing of the seasons with people you love.
