When the time comes to swap summer decor for fall, it’s easy to veer into gourd overload. But creating a cozy vibe that’ll have you looking forward to staying in, as we say goodbye to warmer weather, doesn’t require recreating a pumpkin patch indoors with disposable decor that’ll feel dated by Thanksgiving. You just need some thoughtful tweaks that feel warm and inviting.
This could simply mean swapping out a few summer linens for earth-toned velvets, introducing candlelight in elegant vessels, or arranging a few stems of dried foliage in a sculptural vase. If your house is shrouded in beige, incorporate homestead prints like a plaid wool throw that looks like it belongs in a Nancy Meyers movie, or swap in a reclaimed wood bowl that turns grocery store apples into art. It’s small, seasonal refreshes that’ll make your home feel festive, not forced.
Luckily, achieving that kind of understated luxury doesn’t actually require a Nancy Meyers budget. Brands like Target, H&M Home, and even Amazon have elevated their seasonal offerings, while independent makers on Etsy and small retailers offer handcrafted items you won’t find anywhere else. From artful wreaths to scented candles, tablescape decor to surprisingly sturdy furniture, here are affordable ways to update your home for fall. And don’t worry, there are still a few super sleek pumpkins in here for your fall-ophiles.
