25+ modern fall home decor pieces that make your space cozy and fresh

These 18×18 faux leather pillow covers get high ratings for their quality and aesthetic. They’re also fur-resistant and wipeable which protects them from getting destroyed by kids and fur babies alike.

Sure, rich burgundies and oranges are go-to fall colors, but cream offers a crisp alternative. Add in some cable knit texture and it’s a no brainer. This 18×18 pillow cover would look fetching on the couch, but if light colors and your kids aren’t a match made in heaven, toss it on your bed instead!

Mix up your knits and add a pop of color with this sunny sweater pillow cover. It’s machine washable and most importantly, according to one reviewer looks like it “cost 5x the price.” We’ll take two.

When it’s inevitable that your throw pillows are going to constantly be hurled from the couch to build forts (or hurled on if we’re really keeping it real), budget-friendly, washable options are the only way to go. These highly-rated linen covers check both of those boxes and come in a wide range of autumnal hues.

This chunky hand knit beauty is light and soft, and perfect for snuggling. Fold it at the edge of your bed to add some warmth and texture or use it on the couch for your Halloween movie binges!

Buffalo plaid is a great way to get in on the fall prints without the traditional “cabin in the woods” look. Toss this affordable throw on the couch or drape it over your shoulders as you stand on the porch, coffee in hand, wondering when that pile of leaves will dispose of itself.

If you’ve ever looked at your swaddled babe and thought, “I wish I could be that relaxed”, I’ve got news for you. There’s absolutely no reason you can’t wrap yourself if that same kind of comfort. How? With a muslin throw blanket. It’s the ticket to luxurious lounging as a full grown adult. And not only is this one a total steal, it also gets softer each time you wash it.

This supremely fuzzy number takes the coze factor up to 11. With a minky-like fabric on one side and a fluffy wide-ribbed fabric on the other, you might need to buy one for each member of the house. You know, to keep bickering to a minimum.

A knit throw in a warm orange or earthy green gives an instant seasonal upgrade to the living room or bedroom. These cable knit blankets are made from 100% cotton that’s thick and soft, perfect for keeping you warm without getting overheated. Opt for a throw size, or upgrade to the oversize version for a sweet family movie night.

Yes, it’s pricey, but a Pendelton wool blanket is more than just the epitome of fall coziness–it’s a family heirloom in the making. The iconic brand was founded in 1863 and has been making some of the most high quality wool products ever since. We’ve still got my husband’s grandmother’s Pendelton blanket at the foot of our bed as soon as the nights get chilly!

How can we not love a hand knit pouf? It’s a side table, a foot stool and extra seating all in one! Opt for an autumn hue to make it fun or tone it down with a seasonless neutral.

Whether perched on a mantle or part of a tablescape, these amber tealight holders bring warmth and ambiance.

Yes, we realize it’s a little on the nose (pun intended), but fall decorating has to involve a bit of pumpkin-inspired aromatherapy. And while we love a good candle, reed diffusers offer all the scent without the stress. (Kids and fire, you know?) Nest is one of our top picks year round but this time of year it’s Pumpkin Chai all the way. The scent isn’t too overpowering and the clean glass vessel goes with any decorating style.

Still, nothing creates a mood quite like taper candles. (And as a bonus, they don’t compete with other scents you’ve got going on!) And candlestick holders? They’re a great accessory to swap out with the seasons to keep your decor fresh. Right now we’re loving this Scandinavian-inspired pair which are sleek, modern and sturdy.

Similarly, hurricane lantern style candle holders offer a warm and cozy vibe. They’re beautiful on their own but look especially sophisticated in a group of various sizes and shapes. Pro-tip: Opt for battery operated flameless candles to make them safer and mess-free.

Draped across the mantle or wound along the bannister, this maple leaf garland brings the outdoors in (but leaves the bugs out).

Add a pop of color to your entryway or dining table with vase full of faux eucalyptus stems. They’re maintenance-free and if stored properly can last year after year!

If you’re going for a more bohemian aesthetic, we love the varied colors and textures of these pampas grass bouquets.

Speaking of vases, might we suggest this one? Its minimalist and modern doesn’t scream “autumn,” but that’s kind of the point. Let the insides do the talking.

Of course, if you just can’t help yourself, you can always opt for this Halloween-inspired trio. Display them together and everyone will ask when you became such a savvy design influencer.

Fall decor, but make it chic. This gilded leaf tray looks gorg displayed solo or as a perch for coffee table accoutrements. (But don’t leave it by the door or it’s guaranteed to have rocks, candy wrappers and someone’s keys in it before sundown.)

Of course it wouldn’t be fall without pumpkins. And while the OGs are fine and all, we love the idea of something a little fancier for a change. These gorgeous velvet minis, which are handmade in Wisconsin, give a chic look to any mantle or tablescape. Plus you can reuse them as Thanksgiving place settings!

Another option are these realistic white pumpkins. And before you’re all, “Oh, that’s some sad beige business…” I’ll defend my position by saying white pumpkins are a real thing. I live in Vermont. Trust me.

Another simple fall decor update is to swap your runner rugs for something in a rich seasonal tone. We love this one for its boho-chic aesthetic and added pop of texture.

Seasonal but make it chic.

We also can appreciate this option which offers a bit of color and whimsy. It’s great for indoors as well!

Another one of Dececco’s tips is to layer a buffalo plaid rug under your more utilitarian door mat. It gives a subtle fall vibe that pairs perfectly with some baskets full of mums and a classic collection of pumpkins!

Simple and elegant, a fall foliage-esque wreath is the perfect way to dress up your front door for the season.
