As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it’s time to embrace the warmth and cosiness of autumn in your home and garden. From rich colour palettes to seasonal scents, there are countless ways to transform your space into a fall haven. Here are five tips to help you decorate your home for autumn, including a creative twist with Fence Wallpaper’s weatherproof backdrops!
1. Embrace Earthy Color Palettes
Autumn is all about warm, earthy tones. Think deep reds, burnt oranges, mustard yellows, and rich browns. You can incorporate these colors through throw pillows, blankets, and decorative accents. Try layering a variety of textures—like knit blankets or woven baskets—to create a cosy atmosphere. Don’t forget to switch out your summer decor for autumn-themed pieces that reflect these rich colours.
2. Bring Nature Indoors
One of the best parts of autumn is the stunning natural scenery. Bring some of that beauty inside by using seasonal flowers and foliage. Consider arrangements of sunflowers, chrysanthemums, or branches with colourful leaves. You can also fill vases with acorns, pinecones, or gourds for an added rustic touch. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance option, dried arrangements can last through the season.
3. Use Scent to Set the Mood
Autumn isn’t just a feast for the eyes; it’s also a season filled with delightful scents. Fill your home with the fragrance of cinnamon, pumpkin spice, or apple cider using candles, essential oil diffusers, or potpourri. Consider simmering a pot of water with sliced apples, cinnamon sticks, and cloves on the stove for a natural and inviting aroma that instantly creates a warm ambiance.
4. Outdoor Spaces Matter Too
Don’t forget your garden and outdoor areas! Create a welcoming atmosphere with cozy seating areas, string lights, and seasonal decorations like hay bales and pumpkins. Add a festive touch with Fence Wallpaper’s Halloween & Autumn inspired weatherproof backdrops.

5. Craft DIY Autumn Decor
Get creative and make your own autumn décor! Simple DIY projects can add a personal touch to your home. Consider making a wreath from twigs, leaves, and seasonal flowers. You could also create table centre pieces using mason jars filled with candy corn, mini pumpkins, or twinkling fairy lights. Not only will these projects be fun to make, but they’ll also bring a unique charm to your space.
As autumn settles in, take the opportunity to refresh your home and garden with these decorating tips. From choosing the right colours to incorporating nature and unique backdrops, you’ll create a warm and inviting atmosphere that celebrates the beauty of the season. Happy decorating!
