Whether your decoration style is full of holiday fun and whimsy or elegant and sophisticated, there are plenty of ways to refresh your home for autumn and make it even cozier. Autumn home decor has so many options.
You can lean into holidays like Halloween or Thanksgiving for your fall home furnishings or you can completely do away with holiday decor and focus on warmth.
We’ve rounded up our favorite ways to decorate for fall. Keep reading below to see our top four favorite styles of fall home decor, all of which incorporate our favorite thing about fall: the opportunity to enjoy some of our best fall candle scents!
Incorporating Anchored Northwest Candles Into Your Fall Decor
Get into the Spirit with Halloween Minimalist
Prefer understated elegance year round? In that case, a Halloween minimalist style might be perfect for you. This works best if you choose a color palette of black, white, and one Halloween-specific accent color such as orange, green, or purple. This color will be used sparingly but will add a soft pop of color to the decoration aesthetic. The Halloween minimalist aesthetic is subtle and refined without being cold.
For decor, putting up white or black pumpkins, a decorative Halloween skull, or a simple black witch’s hat will capture the Halloween look. Even adding a white spider web to the windows would add a nice spooky touch. Pulling out blankets or throw pillows that match the vibe would tie everything together.
Next, you’ll want to update the fragrance of the room to match the Halloween look. We recommend lighting the candle Fall Harvest to give the best effect. It’s available in wax melt, amber, classic clear jars, large classic clear jars, and rustic tin. For a minimalist Halloween decor, we recommend the classic jar.
Go All Out with Folksy Halloween
For those who love going all out for the holidays, Halloween kitsch is a fun decoration aesthetic. It’s also a great way to decorate for fall.
Folksy Halloween is all about outlandish, fun holiday decor. From ghosts with googly eyes to wicked witches, Halloween kitsch is a chance to go all out with your Halloween decor. There aren’t a lot of rules with kitschy Halloween except having fun!
From signs that say “Broom Parking Only” to pumpkins of any fun color, Halloween kitsch is all about choosing decorations that make you smile from ear to ear. The smell of your Halloween-themed home should also make you smile. For this, we also recommend the Pumpkin Bliss Candle in amber.
Rustic Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and there’s no time like the present to get your house ready. Opposed to Halloween decor, which typically emphasizes classics like spooky pumpkins, ghosts, and other supernatural beings, rustic Thanksgiving decorations prioritize some of the more natural elements of autumn. It’s home decor that feels like a hug.
For rustic Thanksgiving, focus on items that emphasize harvest, gratitude, and coziness. Pull out your thickest throw blankets and aim for a warm color scheme with red, burgundy, orange, mustard/marigold, gold, and brown.
If you want to contrast with darker colors, aim for deep forest green, black, and rich dark brown. Textures that look great include wood, knits, leather, and rustic metals.
We recommend elevating the aroma of the home with a scent such as Farmhouse Streusel in the rustic tin container. The scents of Cinnamon, Clove, Cream, and Vanilla will welcome you and your guests into your home and get you in the mood for some sweet pumpkin pie.
Decorate with Elegant Autumn Vibes
If rustic Thanksgiving focuses on the down-to-earth aspects of Thanksgiving, elegant Autumn vibes take Thanksgiving decor to the next level. Elegant autumn decor embraces a beige, gold, and black color pallet. If you do it right, elegant autumn vibes can bring you all the way through to winter without having to majorly redecorate your space.
The key is to feature objects in the room that make you feel warm. This will show the autumn vibes without going overboard. Try to feature fewer than five autumn-specific items, such as leaves, fall fruits, and acorns or pinecones. Then, pull out your coziest neutral-colored throw pillows and blankets. Textures that look beautiful with elegant autumn decorations include sherpa, fur, leather, natural wood, brass, gold, amber, and clear glass.
To complete the room, a sweet aroma such as our Chai A Little Harder scent will be warm and welcoming. With notes of Orange Peel, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Pumpkin, Clove, Black Tea, Vanilla, and Graham Cracker, this candle delivers a message of comfort.
To embrace the oncoming sweater weather through your decor, set up several candles around the room. This will add warmth to the room. Candle containers such as amber or clear glass work well for this style of fall decor.
