Creating An Autumnal Vibe In Your Home

Creating An Autumnal Vibe In Your Home

​

Pumpkin Spice Farmhouse Gingham Table Runner

When the leaves begin to change color and crispness in the air becomes more apparent, consider this nature’s invitation to update your living room, kitchen, bathroom, and more. Seasons change, and with that comes a change in the overall mood of your surroundings. Unlike your wardrobe, overhauling your home doesn’t necessarily mean changing up big ticket items, rather, it’s all about editing the finer details to welcome the arrival of fall and holiday guests.

Taking our cue from the drop in temperature and season’s color palette, decorating your home this time of the year calls for a rustic and homey approach. Simple additions like festive fall decorations, table centerpieces, and mantel decor ideas bring a stylish, autumnal touch throughout your living space. You’d even be surprised at just how much of an impact a couple of plaid pillows and blankets make!

Whether you’re decorating for cozy nights in with the family or for a dinner party with guests, here are 30 of our favorite autumnal accouterments you can add to your home.

Jazzy Up the Front Porch

The abundance of autumn is a great theme to play around with on your front porch. Greeting friends and family with door wreaths, faux pumpkins, and planters add to the overall vibe of the season, and make them feel like welcomed guests even before they set foot inside your home.

Decorate With:

• Calloway Mills 106142436 Pretty In Plaid Doormat, 24" X 36", Black/Grey
• Pier 1 Autumn Fall Oak Leaf Wreath With Natural Cones And Acorns
• Pier 1 Pinecone Wreath
• Pier 1 Terracotta Autumn Orange Pumpkin
• Embossed Metal Planters On Stand Set of 2

Add a Farmhouse Feel to Your Home

Adding a farmhouse appeal to your home will instantly add a touch of rustic coziness that gives off a very autumnal mood. If your space allows, adding small furniture items like side tables, benches, and even a bar cart will help make the case for fall decorating. If space is a concern, adding elements such as a plaid pattern on pillows and throw blankets are also a great option.

Decorate With:

• Safavieh Tall Storage Cabinet
• Ainley Natural Seagrass Bench 
• Sophie Bar Cart
• Farmhouse Yarn Dyed Plaid Throw Black/White Single 50X60
• Lush Decor Gingham Check Yarn Dyed Decorative Pillow

Create a Seasonal Tablescape

When entertaining guests, it’s always nice to set the mood with a theme-appropriate tablescape. Start off your design with the season’s favorite fabric in a warm tone (like Pumpkin Spice!) and build your setup from there. Other elements including a rustic flower arrangement, warm scented candles, and country home-esque serving options also add to the look and feel.

Decorate With:

• Pumpkin Spice Farmhouse Gingham Table Runner
• Pier 1 Vintage Rose Floral Bunch
• Pier 1 Apple Cider 3x4 Mottled Pillar Candle
• Pumpkin Spice Napkin Rings, Set Of Four
• Pier 1 Live Edge Cheese & Cutting Board

Curate a Cozy Guestroom

If the season calls for house parties and weekend guests, consider updating your guest room decor with cozy and homey accents. Changing a few key pieces is an easy way to refresh your space for fall. Using warmer tones on beddings, farmhouse stripes on curtains, and adding a vintage rug help deliver that rustic country home appeal.

Decorate With:

• Modern Heirloom Olivia Bedspread
• Farmhouse Button Stripe Yarn Dyed Woven Cotton Window Curtain Panels Linen 40X95 Set
• Safavieh Vail Ivory & Brown Wool Rug
• Bria Stripe Decorative Pillow Cover Gray Single 13X20
• Antique Finished Table Lamp

Refresh the Bath

As an accompaniment to your updated guest room, nothing says “feel at home” quite like a squeaky clean bathroom. Whether you choose to hire professional cleaners or do the dirty work yourself, don’t forget to stock up the shelves with everything your guests may need during their stay. To match the vibe of the season and your guest room, try updating moveable fixtures with accessories made of rustic materials such as distressed wood.

Decorate With:

• Grateful & Blessed - Embroidered Luxury 100% Turkish Cotton Hand Towels (Set Of 2)
• Round Mirror
• Parisloft Set Of 2 Square Wooden Tray With Handles, Bathroom Decor Storage Box
• Reclaimed Wood Art Coat Rack
• Linen Button Shower Curtain Gray Single 72X72

Don’t Forget the Mantel

Because this time of the year calls for cozy nights curled up around the fireplace, decorating the mantel with rustic home accessories help to make the living area distinctly autumnal. Key pieces for mantel decor include a seasonal giclee, dried flowers, decorative pumpkins, and votive candles.

Decorate With:

• White Large Pumpkin With Leaves Lantern
• Pumpkin Patch II Canvas Giclee 
• Cutout Pumpkin Harvest Led Lantern
• Pier 1 Home Spice 3x4 Mottled Pillar Candle
• Pier 1 Harvest Eucalyptus Stem

When it comes to creating an autumnal vibe in your living spaces, there really are no hard and fast rules. In fact, we encourage you to experiment by decorating and mixing up furniture and accessories for a lived-in, collected-over-time vibe.

Fall represents a season of change–and that includes making small adjustments. More than just pumpkin spice lattes, this time of the year brings more indoor hangouts and time spent at home, which makes redecorating that much more fun and important.
