FAQ Section
What are some fall themed items?
Pumpkins are the obvious pick, but the best fall decor ideas mix in a few surprises, too. Think leaf-shaped trays, plaid throws, warm candlelight and a little vintage-style wall art. Pull a handful of these together and you've got autumn decor ideas that work in almost any room, from the mantel to the entryway table.
How do you decorate for fall and Halloween at the same time?
Start with your fall pieces, pumpkins, throws, warm neutrals, and let those set the tone. Then layer in a few Halloween house decorations on top, like a black crow, a cluster of candles or a small figurine tucked among your pumpkins. That's really the trick to decorating for the fall and Halloween together: let autumn do the heavy lifting, and let Halloween whisper instead of shout.
When should you start decorating for fall and Halloween?
Early September is a great time to bring out your fall decorating ideas, since those pieces (throws, pumpkins, candles) will happily stick around through Thanksgiving. Halloween touches can come in a few weeks later and get swapped out once November hits. That way your autumn decorating never feels rushed or thrown together.
What are the must-have decorations for fall?
A few plush pumpkins, a cozy plaid throw and some flickering candlelight will get you most of the way there. If you love a country look, rustic fall decor like a wood leaf tray or vintage-inspired wall art rounds things out nicely. And if Halloween's on your list too, a small piece of primitive Halloween decor, like an iron crow, adds character without taking over the room.
What colors work best for fall and Halloween decor?
You really can't go wrong with warm browns, burnt orange, deep reds and touches of black. That palette is the backbone of rustic autumn decor and pairs just as easily with a pumpkin display as it does with a Halloween accent piece. Keep your base neutral and warm, then let a little black or deep purple sneak in for Halloween. That combination almost always feels balanced.
