When is the right time to begin fall decorating?
That’s the big question, for sure!
Although September is typically associated with fall, it is perfectly okay to begin organizing and planning in the middle of August and have the most of it ready to go as soon as September arrives.

Adorn your mantel with rustic fall decor. Take a look at this lovely example of how the earthy-toned fall wreath, pears, and foliage hanging on a mirror blend in harmony. An arrangement of pears and apples set at the base and red candles on either side finish all of it, creating a warm, inviting, and rustic fall feel.
2) Display Farmhouse Buckets

Here’s one of the simplest farmhouse fall decor ideas: put together a flower arrangement and place it into a rustic bucket.
You can place it on your kitchen island, dining table, or any spot you like. It’s a lovely way to add some charm! Use any flowers you like—sunflowers work great.
You can also toss in some branches, either dried or fresh, depending on what you prefer.
It really makes the space feel warm and inviting!
3) Pumpkins Everywhere

When we think of fall, pumpkins instantly come to mind. And honestly, there’s no better way to bring that cozy fall aesthetic into your home than by displaying pumpkins around the house.
You can create a beautiful centerpiece, as you see, with different shades and sizes of pumpkins.
Try adding a bouquet or some flowers in the middle of the arrangement for an extra touch.
It looks great on a dining table or really anywhere you want that autumn feel. It’s such a simple way to decorate for the season, but very beautiful!
4) Fall Decorative Tiered-Tray

Another fun way to decorate for fall is by creating a seasonal tiered-tray with pumpkins, dried leaves, sunflowers, and other fall flowers.
Using a wooden rustic tray can bring the farmhouse aesthetic to your decor.
Plus, it looks really neat if well put together! The tray is durable, so you can keep it out all season long. It’s perfect for your kitchen island, entryway corner, or any spot where you decide to add your fall decor.
You can even add a few creative signs, like one that says, “Autumn leaves, and pumpkin please” to give it some personality!
5) Candles for the warmth

Another great way to add warmth to your home is by displaying candles throughout the space.
There are so many options when it comes to candles—you can go for long ones on top of vintage candle holders, which are my personal favorite.
I love using candles, especially as the weather cools down. They look so chic on a living room table and are perfect for creating a cozy, inviting ambiance.
6) Warm muted tones

Fall is all about muted color tones. To really bring that cozy, farmhouse vibe into your home, try incorporating elements in those soft, muted colors—like faux fruits, dried leaves, and pine cones.
A great way to display them while keeping that farmhouse look is by using wooden furniture and decor.
The natural brown tones of wood blend beautifully with the warm, muted colors of fall.
You can inspire yourself from above; a basket filled with pumpkins, surrounded by candles, with a few picture frames and dried leaves scattered around to complete the aesthetic.
7) Vintage Dishware and Dry flowers

Among the brilliant farmhouse fall decor ideas is displaying your dishware or tea sets, especially those with muted color designs. You can showcase them in cabinets or any available corner.
Plates could look great in plate holders. Just like you see in the picture, you could even add some branches or dried flowers in pitchers to add to the elegance of your display.
It really elevates the space and adds that charming farmhouse aesthetic.
8) Hang a Wooven Basket instead

Another great element to add is a woven basket filled with dried fall branches and flowers.
You can hang it on your door, either outside or inside. It’s a wonderful alternative to the typical wreath and an easy, simple way to enhance that farmhouse style.
It matches perfectly with the surroundings, especially if you have a lot of wooden furniture.
9) Knitted cozy blankets

There’s no fall without a cozy knitted blanket. Go for a muted dark color like chocolate brown or an elegant dark purple.
You can place it at the end of your bed or let it hug your couch.
In the picture, you can see how the brown blanket makes the bed scream “fall aesthetic”, topped with the wooden breakfast tray, with a few decorative elements like pumpkins and candles.
The blanket doesn’t just warm you up; its texture and feel is what makes you remember that September is here. It’s a must-have—soft, cozy, and it ties the whole fall aesthetic together just the way we want it.
10) Hooked Mugs and Dry Leaf Garlands

You can also display your favorite coffee and tea mugs on hooks, and surround them with dried leaf garlands.
In the picture, you can see how the hooks are perfectly placed under the wooden shelf, saving space and making it easy to store your mugs.
The shelf still has room for decor, as shown with colorful beads, a flower basket, and a few pumpkins.
It’s a charming and practical way to keep your mugs organized while adding your favorite fall decor.
11) Gold, Orange and Knit

Another one of the great farmhouse fall decor ideas is to mix in gold elements like gold-framed mirrors or photo frames.
Gold is such a versatile color and it blends beautifully with dark orange blankets and other brown-toned furniture.
As you can see in the photo, the rich dark orange of the blanket ties everything together with the gold background—the mirror and the frame.
It adds the perfect touch of texture to any corner, making it feel cozy and super elegant—such a great fall addition!
12) Plaid cushions and Flowers

Decorate your couches, chairs, and bedrooms with plaid textured cushions—they’re a great addition if you’re going for that farmhouse look, especially in the fall.
Dark-colored plaid cushions work beautifully. In the example above, they’re perfectly paired with a white couch—very cozy-looking!
The long cushion with an “Autumn” sign in the middle confirms the look we’re going for. Ideally, brown or orange cushions blend seamlessly with the rest of your fall decor.
You can also place a small table next to your couch, adding more brown and orange tones with vases of dried leaf branches or sunflowers. It’s a simple, but it won’t miss setting in the mood.
13) Brass and Art decorations

Brass and art are two elements you can add to any space, and they’re charming together.
Personally, I love using these on mantels to create a focal point, but they also look great as centerpieces on your dining table, living room table, or even on your nightstand.
Brass has that vintage, smoky look that brings a touch of darkness often associated with fall. It’s perfect if you want to make your home truly embrace that fall aesthetic, or if you’re going for the farmhouse look year-round.
As you can see in the picture, brass accents, when well-placed, really stand out and bring the charm and nostalgia of ancient decor.
It’s definitely a lovely addition you can consider!
