As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, there’s nothing better than transforming your space into a cosy retreat that embraces all things autumn. Decorating for the season doesn’t have to break the bank. With a few DIY projects, smart swaps and budget-friendly finds, you can bring the warm, seasonal vibes into your apartment.
Whether you're dreaming of an autumn wreath for the door or a cosy corner with blankets and candles, here are some simple ideas to refresh your home.
Tips for autumn home décor that feels personal
Easy and affordable DIY
The most inviting spaces reflect your style, so use items you already own as a starting point. Look around your apartment: that empty mason jar, old vase, or unused wooden crate? With a little creativity, they can become the foundation of your autumn house décor.
Create an autumn wreath
Use dried leaves, cinnamon sticks and faux berries to craft a seasonal wreath that makes a statement on your door or wall.
Homemade candle holders
Fill mason jars with acorns, pinecones or mini pumpkins and nestle tea lights inside. It’s a simple way to add an autumn glow to your shelves or windowsills.
Upcycle with purpose
Repurpose what you already have. Use baskets to hold dried flowers or repaint old frames in earthy tones to display autumn-themed prints.
Autumn home accessories that make a big impact
Seasonal decorating doesn’t have to mean a total overhaul. Just a few swaps can completely change the feel of your home:
Switch to textured, warm fabrics
Swap out light summer throws for knitted or fleece blankets. Add autumnal cushions with rich tones and textures.
Focus on high-traffic areas
A rustic fruit bowl or table runner in a seasonal print will bring an autumnal touch to high-traffic zones, such as the kitchen or living area.
Layer your lighting
Use soft, ambient lighting with candles, fairy lights or warm-toned lamps to enhance that golden autumn glow.
