Create the Perfect Cozy Haven: Fall Living Room Ideas You’ll Love

7. Use Rustic Elements

Fall decor pairs best with rustic elements. This could be wooden trays, vintage crates, or weathered picture frames added to your living room for some farmhouse charm. These simple touches can lend a homey, lived-in feel, and fall naturally matches you with warm earthy tones.

Rustic Decor Tips:

• Style a wooden tray with candles and pumpkins on your coffee table.
• Pill at vintage wood crates in the corners for some more stash and style.
• For a rustic vibe, use burlap or linen table runners on tables.

8. Incorporate Fall-Themed Pillows

Pillows are an easy way to change up your decor for fall. Keep an eye out for fall-themed throw pillows such as leaves, pumpkins, or plaid. By combining different textures and patterns, you can incorporate seasonal themes with visual interest on your canvas — your sofa.

Pillow Pattern Ideas:

• Modern faux leather pillows

• Plaid or buffalo check

• Leaf embroidery

• Pumpkin prints

9. Swap Out Curtains for Heavier Fabrics

If your summer curtains are in lightweight material, replace them with heavier materials like velvet or wool that give a warmer feel as the weather cools. Not only do these thicker materials prevent the heat from escaping, but they also contribute to the fall aesthetic of your living room. Choose curtains in warm, the colors of autumn, like burgundy, mustard, or forest green to heighten the seasonal feel.

Curtain Tips:

• Try thermal-lined curtains, as they will provide extra insulation and help to prevent warm air from escaping, then pull in a fall palette of color curtains to achieve a seasonal look.
• If you are working with neutral tones in your living room you can hang curtains in jewel-toned colors.

10. Decorative Trays and Vignettes

Use decorative trays to style fall elements into small, styled vignettes on top of your coffee tables or consoles. Trays which group seasonal candles, mini pumpkins or cinnamon sticks in mugs create an effortless chic. Decorative trays: A tray can really help organize your fall decor, all the while giving it a lot more style.

Tray Styling Ideas:

• Add a wooden tray for a rustic and homey feel.
• Display seasonal-scented candles, pumpkin, and some stems of leaves;
• Use small trinkets, such as framed photographs or books, to create a sense of personality.

11. Bring in Natural Elements

Wood, stone, and wicker materials add a natural, warm, cozy ambiance to your home in autumn. Use these pieces as side tables, wicker baskets, or natural wood picture frames. The use of raw materials grounds the space while allowing a connection with the outside.

Natural Elements to Use:

• Blanket storage baskets made of wicker or rattan.
• Bowls or trays in wood to display pinecones or seasonal fruit.
• Use stone or ceramic vases filled with dried flowers or foliage to enhance the seasonal decor;
