20 Simple Ways to Cozy Up Your Home for Fall

Autumn brings crisp air, changing leaves, and a shift indoors. It’s the perfect time to make your home cozy and welcoming. Here are 20 ways to add fall spirit to your space.

Autumn Hues at the Dining Table

Switching to warmer colors instantly makes a room feel autumnal. You don’t need to repaint—just restyle using what you already have. Look through your artwork, accessories, drapes, or chairs for pieces in rich, fall tones. Mix and match seating for an eclectic, cozy feel, and layer in textured accents to enhance the warmth.

Brighten the Season with Warm Lighting

Add sconces for a soft, welcoming glow—perfect for cozy evenings and dark corners that need a touch of warmth.

Restyle Your Console

Set the tone for fall with a mix of pumpkins, foliage, and warm lighting—or keep it simple with earthy candles and natural textures.

Swap Out Centerpiece Elements

Replace everyday decor with pumpkins, autumn leaves, or simple candles to bring instant seasonal warmth to your dining table.

Extend Outdoor Living into Fall

Keep patio season going with earthy cushions, cozy throws, and a warm fire pit for crisp afternoons and cool evenings.

Break Out the Blankets

The fastest and easiest way to cozy up a living room or family room is to add plenty of throws and blankets. The textures and colors they provide can quickly add a taste of autumn, no matter the color scheme.

Rocking Chair

The smooth motion and warm wood frame make this modern Roberta Schilling design an inviting spot to relax on crisp autumn nights.

Moody Colors

Try creating a cozy space using moody colors that are supersaturated and deep like this earthy green. Ramp up the decor with textural accessories, seasonal appropriate prints or decor pieces that convey a more subdued feeling.

New Kitchen Rug

Give your kitchen a dose of fall color with a new rug. This is another easy option for any style of kitchen, even one with an all-white palette like this.

Plaid

Plaid prints are another route to a more autumnal feel, especially when the colors are in the earthy end of the spectrum. This works well in the bedroom where simply changing out the comforter can transform the space.

Add a Rustic Touch

For a more fleeting touch of autumn decor, setting your table with some rustic pieces is the way to go. Seasonal table settings let you entertain in elegant fun, but don’t change the vibe of the overall space. This elegant but rustic place setting is different and fall-friendly.

Play with Fire

From Ortal gas designs to electric and vapor models, today’s fireplaces bring warmth and atmosphere to any space, no flue required.

Vintage Elements

Vintage elements convey autumn and coziness in a very special way. Whether it’s because of their age or weathered look it’s hard to say, but the end result is great for autumn decor. While these pieces from VIP Home and Garden look more rustic, using vintage pieces from any style genre can work.

Seasonal Flowers

Those who prefer fresh flowers need not feel limited to mums and decorative kale for fresh seasonal arrangements. Combining natural greenery with a few springs of a darker color and some blooms in a muted hue creates an on-point vaseful of freshness.

Indoor Wreaths

Wreaths for the front door have escaped the confines of the Christmas season and can now be found in all sorts of seasonal variations, especially for autumn. Hanging a wreath in front of a mirror or window, or perhaps on a wall immediately adds a touch of fall fashion. Or, use one as a table centerpiece with a big jar candle in the middle.

Rustic Tray

Rustic trays are another way to add a touch of seasonality, even if you have a more contemporary or modern home. Serve drinks in modern glasses from a rustic style tray like this from Park Hill, or use it as the base for an otherwise minimalist piece of autumn decor.

Sheepskin

Textural pieces are an easy element for adding warmth and coziness to a room. These Persian lamb pillow from Moe’s add both to this bed. The same types of pillows, along with cushions, ottomans or benches covered in sheepskin are good additions to a living room or family room.

Add a Lamp

Most rooms can always use another layer of lighting, and adding a lamp to cast a warm glow in a dark area of the living room or den is very welcome in the winter months. This is another easy-to-do option that can also be achieved by pulling a lamp from another part of the house. This floor lamp from CDI Furniture is glamorous and edgy at the same time and could light up a variety of interior styles.

Cozy up the Bathroom

The bathroom probably doesn’t jump to mind when you think about fall decorating, but adding some seasonal touches in this space can really warm it up. Adding season colors by switching out towels or replacing the contents of a vase with dried natural materials makes it feel fall-like.
