The temperature is dropping, the leaves are falling, and pumpkin spice is back! Time to spruce up your home with everything Fall. Bring the Autumn cheer into your home using our budget-friendly tips and tricks.

Make a Wreath: There’s nothing better than adorning your front door in something colorful and meaningful. Autumn wreaths symbolize abundance and protection. If you have an interest for crafting, time to bring out the hot glue gun and head to your local craft store for faux fall leaves to DIY your wreath! This can also make for a great craft night with family. However, if arts and crafts aren’t up your alley you can find a wreath within your budget at a local Walmart, Target, Michaels and more!

Faux Garlands: Garlands can easily be described as the décor that keeps on giving due to their versatility. Place them along your dinner table as a centerpiece, hang them on top of your fireplace, or place them above an entryway for an additional razzle dazzle. Plus, you can always save them for next year.

Get Local Pumpkins: Can you really say Fall is here without some pumpkins? Pumpkins come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, your options are endless! Enjoy a day at a local pumpkin patch and bring home some souvenirs. Take them up a notch by transforming them into lanterns. Craft stores also sell faux pumpkins that you can pair with your garland along your dinner table.

Swap out Pillowcases: A throw pillow is the perfect decor accessory to change the look of your room from season to season. Once you find the perfect base, all you have to do is swap out pillow cases that go with the season. Avoid the hassle of overfilling your storage closet with decorative pillows. It’s so much easier to store covers than whole pillows!

Get a Fall Doormat: Greet the season with a vibrant doormat. Your entrance is the first thing your guests step foot in, it’s only right to buy a new one this month. From punny fall messages to colorful fall-inspired designs to more neutral styles that will work year-round, we guarantee you can find a stylish doormat under $30.

Paint a Canvas: Fall is a wonderful time to paint, learn to paint, or rekindle an old hobby. This is the year you fall in love with acrylic paint! Check out Pinterest for some inspiration or follow this link for some spooky & seasonal options. Consider hosting a paint night with family and friends. Plus, everyone takes home a nice piece of artwork to add to their home! Be sure to clip your Michaels and JOANN coupons before heading out to shop for your supplies.

Fill Your Home with Fall Scents: That first crisp day after a hot and humid summer is one of the best feelings ever. Savor that feeling some more with fall-scented candles. Infuse your space with the seasonal aroma of pumpkin spice, cedarwood, and all the great scents this season has to offer. Whether you prefer fruity scents, sugary scents, or spicy, musky scents there’s a little something seasonal for everyone. Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Michaels are your go-to stores for a sweet deal on candles. Follow the links to see the best deals each store is offering right now.

Use Nature: Gathering pine cones, acorns, and tree limbs is a free and easy way to stock up on fall décor. If all else fails, you can preserve colorful fall leaves by simply adding a layer of modge podge glue and turn them into art displays. Using the natural beauty of fall nature is an inexpensive way to decorate your home for the changing season.
