6 fall apartment decor ideas to cozy up your space

If you’re anything like me, you’ve started to notice the leaves changing colors and that hint of crispness in the air. Don’t you just want to curl up with a good book and a cup of something warm? Well, why not bring that cozy feeling inside your apartment? It’s time to decorate your home for the fall season! Grab a pumpkin spice latte, light a pumpkin scented candle, and get ready for some fall apartment decor ideas to cozy up your space.

1. Warm up your home with fall colors

When I think of fall, I picture a warm color scheme — browns, tans, reds, and oranges. With that color scheme in mind, switch out accents around your home to bring those warm colors in. Do you have a vase that normally displays flowers, branches, or eucalyptus? Switch that out with some faux fall leaves.

Here’s another idea to warm up the space! Do you have white taper candles displayed anywhere in your home? Switch them out for brown ones. All the small, warm updates you make can really make a difference.

2. Pumpkin throw pillows

Next up on the list of fall apartment decor ideas are pumpkin throw pillows! I love adding pumpkin throw pillows as part of my halloween decor because you can keep them up September, October (Halloween), and November (Thanksgiving). Plus, they are definitely trending this season.

Have you seen the lineup of Halloween decorations from Pottery Barn this year? They are offering a variety of pumpkin throw pillows. But I found my own favorite dupe from Amazon and I think it’s just as cute as the Pottery Barn ones at a fraction of the price!

3. Cozy throw blankets

Who doesn’t love a blanket? I like to keep my blankets out year-round (even during summer when my house is 80 degrees) so I get really excited when fall rolls around and it’s (officially) acceptable to use blankets again!

When it comes to fall blankets, you should think about the two most important things — cuteness and coziness. Here are some tips:

1. You should take this as an opportunity to bring in some warm, neutral fall colors.
2. You should always make sure that your throw blankets can be used for more than just decor. In other words, we don’t want rough blankets just because they’re cute.

I’ve scoured the web for blankets that meet this criteria and I must say, I’ve found a winner. Don’t worry, I’ll link it below for you.

Okay, let’s be real. Making your apartment ready for fall is about more than some cozy decorations. It’s also about making sure the entire vibe is right! After all, will you really enjoy all this cute apartment fall decor without the smell of pumpkin lingering in the air?

Okay maybe.

But I’m still going to give you a recommendation of a cute AND yummy pumpkin scented candle to pull all your decor together.
