Easy Autumn Decorating Ideas For Celebrating The Start Of Fall

Even if you had the time, inclination, or axe to chop down some real birch trees and make these candles yourself, we’d still recommend getting these instead. They add a fun, outdoorsy Halloween vibe, with none of the suffocating smoke, plus you can set the ambiance with the touch of a button.

Whether you’re planning a fall-themed brunch with your girlfriends or just want to make your entry hallway a wee bit more inviting, these natural lighted willow twig branches are the perfect accent. Four wood branches decorated with yellow maple leaves are included with 16 LED lights for a warm glow. 

If you’re looking for something a little more understated and not obvious, these tortoiseshell vases have earthy, autumnal vibes, yet aren’t exactly themed that way. In fact, you can use them all year long if you want (and you might, since they are *so* pretty). Stick some real or fake sunflowers in them, and voila! A chic space ready for fall.

Made in recycled wine bottles, these premium natural soy wax candles burn for 70+ hours. We’re partial to the delicious spiked cider, whose scents of apple, cinnamon, and clove scream “fall is here!” Strike a match and cozy up around the table by the light of one of these lovelies.

Elevate your next gathering with these beautiful placemats. A delicate autumn flower and leaf design will welcome guests to sit and stay awhile. The best part? They’re made from high quality paper, which means when it’s time to clean up, your only job is to toss them into the recycling bin.

Bring nature inside with some versatile fall garlands. Each piece is nearly six feet long so they can be wrapped around your table, draped across a fireplace, or strung on a banister. The maple leaf design and vivid colors mean you can leave them up until after Thanksgiving.

Reviewer Jean B Navarro says this homespun table runner is, “Adorable, especially if you’re decorating in blue tones for the holidays. Fits perfectly without a lot of material left over on the two ends of the table. Nice paired with pumpkins out of copper, neutral and blue tones.” Add some colorful wine glasses to complete your classic fall table look.

If you opt to purchase the runner featured above, we highly recommend accenting it with a few of these gorgeous blue pumpkins. Made from blown glass, they have a touch of shimmer and are available in four different sizes. 

You can’t go wrong with a classic buffalo check, especially when it’s available in 15 different colors. Choose one (or three) of these table runners in black and white, orange and black, or honey gold to spice up your dining area all fall. 

We’ve literally never met anyone who doesn’t love a fall scented candle (nor do we want to), and this pumpkin bakery version is one of the best smells ever. Reviewer Winnie says, “I am really picky about candles- I will pay the money for a good candle that lasts. That said, I bought Pumpkin Bakery and was very impressed! The scent smells exactly as described – pumpkin baked goods. I always burn my candles 3 to 4 hours the first time so they don’t tunnel – the wax burned evenly and didn’t seem to dissipate too quickly.”

Whether gathering inside or out, this burlap banner provides a lovely fall accent to any meal. Featuring a welcoming phrase and picture-perfect pumpkin, it’s already strung for easy decoration. Reviewer Lauren Hess says, “I love these banners – I have one for almost every holiday. They are great because they fold up and take up hardly any space when storing. I love that it comes all put together so you don’t have to go through the hassle of assembling it.”

Mostly smiley with the right amount of spooky, this orange crackle Jack-O-Lantern can accent your table or mantle for all of October. Add some glow with a candle or battery-operated light, and nestle among a few small pumpkins to create a festive arrangement.
