Favorite Things: Fall Decor at Home

This post includes a list of my favorite fall decor items for your home including pumpkin decor, a seasonal blanket, a print, candles and more. I have been looking for new fall / autumn decorating ideas since the calendar rolled over to September – I hope this list provides inspiration for you too.

Mother Nature is bringing warm, summery weather to the Chicago area this week, with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80s and sunny skies starting tomorrow and through the weekend. But fall is just a few days away – the autumnal equinox is coming this Friday, September 22. I started decorating for the fall season early this year, but there are a few more things I have my eye on. I prefer to keep fall and Halloween decorations subtle and not too wild. This list includes ten fall decor items I would love to add to my home.

White Gourds and Pumpkins
I always pick up a few white pumpkins in various sizes to display around the house. I haven’t found any for sale yet this year, so I am tempted to buy the artificial kind to use for multiple years.

Glass Pumpkin Jar
I have two ceramic pumpkins that my mom bought me several years ago, in pale yellow and orange. They are perfect to use as candy jars. I think this clear glass pumpkin is a perfect addition to my collection.

Fall Pillow
This is such a cute addition to a couch or chair. If you’re friends with me in real life {or on Pinterest or Instagram} you will know I am obsessed with pumpkin this season. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin spiced lattes {sorry!} or savory pumpkin foods but I’ll try any dessert or breakfast-themed pumpkin recipe. I would add this pillow to my front porch furniture.

Farmhouse Cider Wood Wick Soy Candle
I love burning scented candles in the fall and winter, but prefer soy wax for a ‘cleaner’ burn. It can be difficult for me to find soy candles that aren’t ridiculously expensive, especially in seasonal scents. This one sounds like it smells amazing in a “Farmhouse Cider” scent. I also appreciate the sound of a crackling wood wick candle since we don’t have a fireplace.

Rainy Day Wool Blanket
I love nothing more than a cozy blanket on a rainy or chilly fall day. This wool blanket looks warm and I love the gray/white striped color combination.

Hello Fall Print
This handmade fall print caught my eye right away. I love the white frame! This would look great as part of a bookshelf display.

Copper Baskets
Copper is popular right now for home decor, and you can find this element at almost every home store. These copper baskets can be used year-round but I think they make the perfect fall accessory too. I can picture a basket full of my white pumpkins

Fall Twig and Puff Ball Wreath
We recently upgraded the front of our home with new concrete and brick steps. I love the new entrance and I have been looking for a fall-themed wreath to hang on the door. This Fall Twig and Puff Ball Wreath is from World Market; I love the color combo, especially with dark purple and cream.

We have a fairly large dining room table that was passed down from my in-laws. They found it at a farm sale 30 years ago and re-finished it multiple times for their own use before gifting it to us after we moved into our house. I never quite know how to decorate the center of the table and it looks naked with nothing there. Adding this birch centerpiece is a good start.

Metal Pumpkin Lantern
I love pumpkin decor but try to mix up the colors so everything doesn’t scream orange when you walk in the door. I love the industrial look of these metal pumpkins and might even display them all year.
