The list of wonderful things about fall is lengthy: crunchy leaves, crisp morning air, pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking, and so much more. While it’s easy to feel the autumn bliss while you’re outside, you can also celebrate the season in your apartment with cozy fall decorating.

Fall Decor Trends of 2024

1. Cozy fabrics

One way to bring the fall season into your home is by using cozy, comfy fabrics such as velvet, wool, and fleece. Not only do these have a homey look, they’ll also help you stay warm during those brisk autumn mornings. You can add these fabrics to your home in throw blankets, chairs, and couches,

2. Plaid accents

Plaid fabrics are timeless, classy, and undoubtedly autumnal. Implement plaid accents in your home with throw blankets, pillows, or table runners.

For the best look, we recommend pairing plaid accents with solids, such as plaid pillows on a solid-colored couch. Opt for plaid patterns with oranges or yellows instead of the traditional red and black, which can evoke Christmas.

3. Autumn earth tones

To add a more subtle nod to fall in your décor, use earth tones like burnt orange, olive green, umber brown, and taupe gray. For a unique look, try pairing rust or apricot oranges with contrasting shades of rich teal. Using combinations of these colors and other earth tones will give your apartment a classy look while still channeling autumn.

4. Minimalist Pumpkin Decor

Instead of traditional orange pumpkins, 2024 is seeing more muted tones like white, blush, or sage pumpkins. Faux pumpkins in velvet, concrete, or ceramic add a modern touch to seasonal decor.

5. Unique or vintage glassware

Try embracing a fun, recent trend in your fall decorating: interesting glass pieces. Statement glassware has already been in trend over the summer, but you can autumn-ize this trend by using amber, yellow, or green-colored glass vases, trays, and drinking glasses.

While you can find many unique glassware pieces online, another great place to find fun pieces at affordable prices is at local thrift stores. Often, the housewares and home décor departments are overlooked in the thrift store, making it easy to find unique pieces at low prices.

6. Dried flowers and other natural accents

We all love placing pumpkins in our homes to ring in the fall, but you can elevate the natural aesthetic by using dried florals or faux branches around your home. There are a number of ways you can incorporate this trend: Try placing a dried floral arrangement in a unique vase on your kitchen table, display faux branches in a floor vase, or keep it simple and hang a bundle of dried flowers on the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fall Decor

When do I decorate for fall?

When to start decorating for fall is a matter of personal preference. Some people start decorating as early as late August, while others wait until the weather changes. A common rule of thumb is to start with indoor decor in late September or early October, and then add outdoor decor when the weather is cooler and the leaves have changed. 

How can I incorporate fall trends without spending too much?

You can update your space affordably by swapping out small accessories like throw pillows, blankets, and candles. Adding seasonal foliage, such as dried flowers or faux pumpkins, is also a cost-effective way to refresh your home for fall.

Are any DIY fall decor trends popular in 2024?

Yes, DIY decor projects, like homemade wreaths, painted pumpkins, and macrame wall hangings, are trendy. Repurposing old items, like upcycled candle holders or mason jars, fits with the sustainable decor movement.

What are the key themes for 2024 fall decor?

Key themes include “rustic elegance,” where farmhouse elements meet sophisticated touches, and “nature-inspired,” emphasizing organic, sustainable materials and biophilic design. Another theme is “moody autumn,” which uses deep, rich colors and textures to create a cozy and atmospheric feel.
