Who doesn’t love that time of year where, if you live in a normal place and not the Sweltering South™ like me, the air begins to get crisp and the leaves start to change to a beautiful palette of colors that eventually fall off to crunch under your feet.
I’m pretty sure the air begins to smell and taste slightly like a spiced candle. And suddenly everyone gets the urge to bake yummy things, have fires in the fireplace, and invite their favorite people over to breathe candle air together. It’s a lovely time.
If you are getting your home autumn-ready and looking for inspiration on how to decorate, let me help inspire your Halloween home décor to be free from ghouls and ghosts while embracing the joys that October has to offer.
Here are 10 fallish items I found that make me want to snuggle in a warm blankie and soak it all in. Come, brew a cup of something that stirs your soul, and join me!
1. Rust Colored Linen Napkin set
Linen is always a good idea, and these napkins are the perfect pumpkiny harvest color. Impress your friends with elegant napkins like these at your next October dinner.
2. Fall Candle Sampler Pack
I know I said the air already smells like candles, but if you really want the air to smell extra this candle set is lovely. There are plenty of scent options, and the candles are made in small batches designed to burn cleaner, which is better for you and the planet.
Win-win, eh? These would also make a nice gift for a friend with a fall birthday.
3. Create A Set Of 3 Velvet Pumpkins
Earlier and earlier every year I bust out my little pumpkins and proceed to place them all over the house. I love it!
My favorites have been the little velvet ones like these. They are perfect for tables, fireplace mantels, bookshelf décor, or anywhere else your little fall-loving heart desires. These are extra fun because you choose the color and size for each of your three pumpkins.
4. Maple Leaf Cutting And Serving Board
I don’t know about you, but any get together I have typically involves at least one kind of cheese or charcuterie board. This maple leaf board would be adorable for a fall party. It is made from layers of different kinds of wood to give it the pretty colors.
If you’re throwing a “third season” party and want more unique flair for your festivities, check out Etsy’s guide to Fall Decor Essentials, where you’ll find plenty of unique and often handmade ideas.
5. Knit Pumpkin Garland
This knit pumpkin garland is adorable and perfect for fall decorating. It would be ideal on a fireplace mantel, or even draped on a curtain rod.
6. Old Maple Leaf Fall Wreath
I am a picky wreath person, and I find this golden wreath lovely and classic. It is made to look like the leaves were picked right off the trees as they turned golden and I love it!
7. Custom Pumpkin Place Cards
If you want cute place cards to go with your fall napkins, here is a great option for a party. These place cards come in different color options and you can customize them with your guest’s names. Very sweet.
8. Hey There Pumpkin Welcome Mat
This is a cheeky little welcome mat for the golden season, and I like it! Give your guests something to smile about before they even walk through your door.
9. Hello Fall Sign
This is a cuuuute little fall sign, and you get to choose your frame color. It’s small enough that you can pop it up anywhere for a little dash of harvest color and sentiment.
10. Fall Dinnerware Set
This handmade pottery dinnerware set is perfect for fall. The colors remind me of changing leaves. I love that each set comes with a little ramekin. We use wee ramekins for everything in our house, and I feel like fall always comes with dips and things requiring cute little dishes. I love that these sets include them.
I hope this list has provided some Autumn hosting and decorating inspiration, and wish you many sweet gatherings and times to be thankful for. Happy fall!
