14 Simple Fall Decorating Ideas

Who has been puttering or fall nesting around their house? I started to and then had a couple of unexpected deadlines I had to attend to this week. Oh, and then the sun was SO WARM and inviting yesterday I got off track to spend some time outside! It’s nice to get in some good vitamin D when we can, right?

But I am back to it and can’t wait to show you a few results of the puttering next week!

In the meantime, I thought I’d pop in quick with some simple fall decorating inspiration from my home over the years.14 Simple Fall Decorating Ideas

1. Decorate fillable lamps

Did you know you can find fillable glass lamps? It’s a fun way to add a little seasonal decor.

Here are some similar fillable lamps, and here’s a post with ideas of things to display!

2. Pair books & organic elements

I love decorating with books all year round, but you really can’t beat them for the fall and winter! Combine them with pumpkins, artichokes or other organic elements for a fun combo.

Line up pumpkins on your mantel, group them together in the center of a table, or on a stool, or in a basket on the coffee table (I got my velvet pumpkins here).

10. Bring in lanterns and candles.

Flickering candles set the mood (battery operated candles like these often come with timers so you can set them to come on automatically!).

Throw rugs and runners are all really easy to update. Put soft rugs by your doors and runners to your hallways or kitchen (also if you missed where I get cute towels you can find some HERE).

    Hi Melissa! For some reason your Saturday Inspired Room did not appear in my e-mail until Sunday morning! Luckily I subscribe to another blogger and picked up your ideas on her page. I LOVE the simple ways for bringing fall into my home. Yesterday I stacked throws on an ottoman in the family room, put fresh fruit and vegetables from the Farmer’s Market in a big wooden bowl and placed on kitchen table, hung a shopping bag and umbrella with similar colors to my decor on hooks in the back entryway, and placed colorful mums around the back yard. I also purchased two of your books in the last few weeks, and I have really been enjoying them. Your home philosophy is one to be admired. I posted a question for you one day this week, but maybe this isn’t a good place to ask questions? Is there a better way? Thanks and have a blessed Sunday!

    Also didn’t get the Saturday post until 8:07am east coast time today? But thanks for the link on the towels here, I love that leaf print one you have in the photo?

    Lovely ideas. I am bringing out the cozy throws here as the rains are beginning and the house is cooling off.
