Why Look at Fall Decor Ideas in Summer
While summer is still around us, it’s hard to find inspiration by looking outside or going for a walk. This is when I turn to Pinterest or last year’s magazines for ideas.
Fortunately, seasonal decor slowly transitions from year to year. What was “on trend” last year will still feel current this season. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel with your fall decorating.
If you plan to buy new fall decor, you can’t wait until September. People shop early, so making a list and buying now is the key to having the accessories you want for fall decorating.
If you plan to create some fall decor yourself – hats off to the DIYers – it’s never too early to decide what to make, get all your supplies, and begin crafting.
Natural elements will still be popular, including pumpkins, wood, natural materials, and typical fall colors.
It’s the ways that these time-honored fall decorating elements are used that stay fresh from year to year.
I know you are probably itching to give your home a seasonal refresh too, which is why I’ve put together this collection of fabulous fall decorating ideas.

Fabulous Decorating Ideas for Fall – 11 Trends for Fall Decorating.
These are the points that will help you design your cozy, dreamy fall decor. Take notes for your fall decorating.
Here are 11 “trends for fall decorating:
- Serene Scandinavian style: Key materials will include handmade pieces of earthy materials such as rough wood, stone and concrete.
- Patterned ceramic accessories and in-tone fabrics with small-weaved designs will be present, along with unique accessories with sculptural forms or accent artisan pieces.
- Fall’s biggest fabric trend will be velvet: velvet is the perfect texture for creating a cozy, fall-ready ambiance with sofas, chairs, and pillows. Velvet’s plush luxury is warm and comfortable by nature so it will be popular.
- Burgundy and brown florals: along with red and orange, these rich colors create a rustic feeling appropriate for a fall palette.
- Fall leaves and pumpkins with warm colors and cozy textures: Expect to see pumpkins added to dining tables and cocktails tables to bring fall into all areas of the home.
- Distressed finishes: the right amount of patina, woods and metals bring a soft glow perfect for fall. Distressed metals will be seen on furniture pieces and wall art galleries for unexpected fall charm.
- Candles: will supply warm and inviting options for decor throughout the entire home. Placing a few votives on the fireplace, entryway table or outdoor patio brings elegance and dimension for cozy fall illuminations.
- Knits will be everywhere: from sweaters and scarves to poufs and chunky throw blankets. Knit throw blankets and pillows are a fall design favorite in neutral shades like creamy white, taupe or soft brown.
- Leaves, berries, and acorns: these elements reflect a season of harvest. Expect warm-hued plates and table decor with traditional autumn elements, such as corn cobs, husks, and hay.
- Different textures: different types of textured pillows, blankets and even tabletop items, such as figs and cotton, will be seen.
- Nostalgic fusion: a combination of 70’s rich warm color palettes, such as mustard-and-honey yellows, millennial shades of pink, dramatic tones of red and lush greens will be at the forefront. A combination of Art Deco and Bauhaus styles in furniture inspired by the 1920s and 1940s will come forward. Pops of vintage tchotchkes, such as jack-o-lanterns, fashion, and thrifted textiles, will bring personality and eclecticism to fall decor.
