Natural Fall Décor Ideas
Are you looking for tips for decorating for fall? I love the fall – it’s my favorite season. I get excited every time the seasons change. I always say I love whatever season is next, but really, fall is my favorite. The vibrant colors of orange, reds, and browns. The changing foliage on the trees and bushes. Crisp air. Don’t you just love it?
I’m not a huge decorating guru, but the natural materials that are available in the fall speak to me and beg to be displayed! I also don’t have to worry about storing totes of plastic décor. Natural decorations can be switched out every fall.

Materials for Fall Decorating Tips
The first step to keeping fall décor budget-friendly is to use what you have. Look around at baskets, pots, buckets that you already have. Identify natural materials you want to incorporate.
- Acorns
- Mums
- Fall Leaves
- Pumpkins and gourds
- Dried flowers
- Dried Grapevines
- Colorful corn
- Branches without leaves
I love using natural fall decor. If you plan ahead, grow your own Halloween Pumpkin Patch with your kids and use some of the pumpkins in your fall decorating ideas. You can also pick some up at the home improvement store or the farmer’s market.
I’m always amazed by the variety of colors available in both gourds and mums. Mums grow great in containers or perennial flowerbeds. Don’t forget to deadhead your mums to keep them flowering longer.
Bring all the fall colors into your home décor with these beauties.
Minimalist Fall Décor Container ideas
My favorite pots are simple terra cotta pots. When my kids were younger they enjoyed painting the clay pots or gluing colorful stones onto them in fun patterns. Other simple display containers to decorate your home for fall include:
- Glass vases
- Galvanized steel buckets
- Log sections
- Wicker baskets
- Candle sticks
- Rustic trays
Just add a few dried flowers or gourds and you’ll have a centerpiece!
I also use a rusty old milk jug I dug out of someone’s trash {shhh…one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, right?}.
Seasonal Home Decor for Fall
I l.o.v.e. this clay pumpkin! So cute!! I bought two of them this year to add to my collection. Look for seasonal items like this on clearance at the end of seasons. Adding a few things each year helps keep costs down.
I bought my awesome terra cotta pumpkins at Menards on close-out one year, so keep an eye out for them there, if you like them.
How do you like my The Witch is in sign? ~ totally appropriate. Just ask my kids. Hehehe;-)
Adding just a few of these more “permanent” decorations add texture and interest to your natural elements.
I always include a wreath in my autumn decorating. I’ve made natural ones from grapevines before, but I also have one I got yeas ago at Target on clearance. A fall wreath looks beautiful on the front door, in the dining room, or living room.
How to Style Natural Décor Ideas this Fall
I am no Martha Stewart, but I do keep a few styling tips in mind when planning my natural decor ideas for fall.
The first fall decorating tip is to add height. Instead of using a simple row of gourds, for example, place a couple of them on higher logs of wood or even elevate them on a candlestick holder.
The second best tip I have is to focus on textures and colors. Add items that give you the natural, cozy, warm feeling. Soft fabrics. Vibrant reds and oranges. Natural woods.
Displaying natural items at different heights and focusing on textures and colors will add interest to all your eco-friendly decorations.
How do you decorate for fall? I’d love to hear your tips!
What beautiful flowers and pictures! I do love mums but with my care, or lack of care, they become annuals at my house. I hope that once I get more organized in the yard, I can keep them from year to year. Great fall decorating outside ideas!
