Fall Bedroom Decor: Cozy Ideas to Transform Your Space

Fall brings a briskness to the air, and it is an ideal season for a little decor refresh, especially in the bedroom, where we each do our slobbering the most. As autumn settles in with some crisp weather, you will want to create a cozy sanctuary for it to snuggle into. From neutral tones to rich autumnal hues, these bold fall bedroom decor ideas will change your space into a seasonal retreat, where you can find all the cheer the season brings.

Follow the guide below to incorporate fall in your bedroom with simple tips:

1. Cozy Throws and Pillows

The most effortless way to turn your bedroom into a fall oasis is to layer in all of the cozy blankets + pillows. Consider heavy blankets, faux fur throws or wool blankets (great for draping over the bed). The latter not only adds warmth but also texture, which is the secret to a cozy vibe.

Tip: Select throws that are more in the colors of the season with warm earthy colors of deep reds, browns, or mustard yellows. For a more complete look, pair these with pillows that have fall-themed designs in plaid or leaves. A combination that not only makes your bedroom cozy but also visually inviting.

2. Fall Leaf String Lights

Another vital contributor to helping create that mood in any room is the lighting. In fall, use fall leaf string lights to add a whimsical feel that only autumn can provide in your bedroom. These warm decorative lights will leach a soft glow in your space making it feel magical with longer evenings.

You can wrap them around your headboard, place them over your shelves, or hang them above your windows to add a delicate glow. These not only illuminate the space, but they also call to mind the beauty of shed leaves, and they will turn your bedroom into an autumn paradise.

3. Wooden Accents

Adding wood accents to your bedroom is the perfect way to introduce natural, organic elements into the room. For fall, think rustic. Incorporate wood accents – Wood is a warm and natural element that can enhance your bedroom-like wooden nightstands, bed frames, or shelving units.

Add some decor to these wooden things like acorns, pinecones, or mini pumpkins to highlight the fall theme. Against a backdrop of rustic wood, your fall decor can pop, creating a charming contrast that never goes out of style.

4. Pumpkin Decor

Pumpkins are a must-have in any fall decor. Mini pumpkins are generally more associated with your living room or entryway, but they also have a place in the bedroom. Real or fake, pumpkins will instantly make your bedroom feel more seasonal!

Use small decorative pumpkins around the house If your decor is simple, like I mentioned above, your fall decor can be as simple as placing little decorative pumpkins on your nightstand, let alone in window sills, in front of bookshelves, and such. If you want to go a bit more elevated then use neutral-colored pumpkins like white or light grey that would blend well with the rest of your fall decor but still embrace the seasonal vibes.

5. Scented Candles

There’s nothing quite like the glow of a scented candle to get you in that fall mindset. Not only do candles give off a soft, soothing light, but they also warm your space. Use some seasonal scents such as cinnamon, apple, pumpkin spice or vanilla to help scent the air with the smells of fall in your bedroom.

Whether you group up your candles on a tray or sprinkle them throughout the room for an aesthetically pleasing glow, group up candles of different heights to create a layered look. Scents are one of the easiest ways to make your room feel like fall– try some pumpkin-scented candles!

6. Heavy Curtains

With summer coming to an end, now is the time to replace those lightweight, summertime drapes with thicker, warmer curtains. Choose curtains with deep fall colors such as burgundy, dark green, or chocolate brown. Thick curtains not only help keep the cold out but also create a more intimate bedroom setting and cozy atmosphere.

Pro Tip: Layering curtains is another great way to add dimension to your space. Opt for sheer curtains with thick drapes to allow a tasteful amount of light while letting you still feel cozy as if in a cocoon.
