How to Decorate for Fall in Your Apartment? Here are Five Easy Places to Start.
-
Layer In Some Cozy Textures
Swapping in some chunkier textures is one of the easiest ways to make your apartment decor feel ready for fall. Trade those lightweight throws for something knit or fuzzy, add a couple of warm-toned pillow covers, and layer a textured rug or runner by the entryway to let the season in, literally.

Steal a Few Ideas From Fall Itself
Turns out, autumn already did most of the decorating; you just have to bring it inside. A few natural pieces go a long way when you’re looking for quick and easy fall decor ideas that turn any corner into its own storybook scene. Fill a small vase with dried pampas grass or eucalyptus stems, tuck a few mini pumpkins on a shelf or windowsill, and arrange some pinecones into a simple bowl on the coffee table. Nature really said: take the credit.
Still figuring out where to buy fall decor? Swing by the Proctor Farmers' Market, open Saturdays through mid-December, stocked with fresh bouquets and seasonal plants that just might become your new favorite centerpiece. Heads up, you might leave with a bottle of local cider too, which sounds like a fair trade for an afternoon of decorating.

Set the Scene With Scent
A little cinnamon in the air, and suddenly you're craving a pumpkin spice latte; no surprise there. If you're wondering how to decorate for autumn, scent is an easy place to start: light a cinnamon, clove, or cedarwood candle, or set out a diffuser if you'd rather skip the flame. Pair it with a few LED candles or string lights for a little extra glow, and the whole room shifts. Suddenly, staying in sounds like a plan!

Add a Seasonal Touch to Every Room
Who says the living room gets to have all the fun? The season looks good in every room, kitchen and bathroom included. Trade your everyday hand towels for something in plaid or a warm, earthy print, and set out an amber glass soap dispenser by the sink for a subtle seasonal touch. It's some of the simplest fall apartment decor you can pull off, and even a quick trip to the sink starts to feel like part of the season.

Make Room for Fall Outside
Building on the point above, your fall decor isn’t an indoor exclusive. A few small touches and a little outdoor fall magic to your patio. Set out a planter with mums or ornamental kale, add a lantern or two for evening light, and layer an outdoor throw over a chair for when the air turns crisp. Done right, this is bound to be your favorite spot all season.
