8 Easy Fall Living Room Decor Ideas to Embrace the Season (With Photos!) | Wayfair (2024)

One easy way to transform your living room for the season is to swap out your current throw pillows for fall-inspired ones. Look for throw pillows that can match your current style but also embrace the season, with motifs like a truck with pumpkins or a textured wreath. If you are looking to embrace the autumn color palette, add pillows in warm tones like orange or yellow. Add patterned pillows in softer colors, like pale blue or gray, to complement the display while allowing the brighter pillows to be the star of the sofa.

Pumpkins and gourds are a fall staple and a popular autumn decorating idea. Vary pumpkin sizes from large for front porch steps, or minis for centerpieces. Look for pumpkins (real or faux) in different shapes, sizes, and colors to add variety to your pumpkin decor. This fall decor idea is the perfect addition to faux wood candles, faux branches, or a burlap table runner.

Plaid patterns are not just a fall staple, but an incredibly versatile pattern that can be incorporated into any living room, no matter the style. Take your fall decorating ideas outside and display a plaid throw pillow with a matching blanket for a cozy addition to your sofa or make a more significant statement by opting for an accent chair in a plaid pattern.

If you are looking for a fall living room decor idea that can be swapped out with the seasons, consider adding wall art to your existing wall shelves. It not only adds a fun pop of color to your wall, but placing it on your wall shelf takes away any stress of hanging wall art on your living room walls. Look for simplistic wall art, like fall phrases and calligraphy. The wall art can stand alone on the shelf or you can complement it with small trinkets (like leaves, a vase, or small acorns) to help add to the fall decor in your living room.

Flowers aren’t just for the warmer seasons – they can be displayed all year! Look for florals that are blooming in early fall, like sunflowers or mums. Use neutral-colored vases that will blend in with the rest of your decor, letting the flowers be the star of the show. If you are looking for a unique way to display your favorite flowers, opt for a wreath full of fall flowers. Hang it on the wall or display it on a side table – its bright colors will pop while any accessory berries or leaves will help add texture to the wreath.

Your fireplace is a great place to add fall decor and is bound to draw the eye. Since you’re probably not using your fireplace just yet, they can be easy places to add fun accent pieces to your living room without taking up extra floor space. Look for items that can work in both your fireplace and throughout your home, like candles. Stack up pumpkins of various shapes, sizes, and colors to add depth to your fireplace and create more visual interest. For another easy fall decor idea, add a fall-themed garland to your mantel, like a garland of maple leaves.

While autumnal colors are known for bringing the fall season into your home, this fall living room decor idea is all about adding texture. Think of the different textures you often see during fall, like pinecones, logs, or greenery. These items can add a cozy fall touch to your living room while keeping the overall color palette neutral. You can also look for soft faux fur blankets to add to your sofa or accent chairs. This can not only add a more delicate texture to the room, but is perfect for snuggling up on a cold autumn night. Display your textured items in buckets or wicker baskets.

Incorporating fall decor ideas into your living room doesn’t have to be all about leaves, pumpkins, or plaid. You can easily add your favorite items in solid autumn colors to bring the season into your space. Opt for colors that you tend to see in leaves, like various shades of red, purple, yellow, orange, and brown. Dark, rich shades will help enhance the colors of fall. Look for smaller items that you can swap out with the seasons, like throw pillows, throw blankets, vases, and table lamps. The best part? You can still use these items throughout the year, even after the fall season has passed.
