Autumn Wreaths with a Twist
Welcome guests to your home with a custom fall wreath on your apartment door.
Instead of the traditional pinecones and leaves, try incorporating dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, and mini pumpkins for a unique and aromatic twist.
You can easily find a plain wreath base at your local craft store and customize it to match your personal style.
Pumpkin Planters
Take your greenery game to new heights by turning small pumpkins into planters.
Simply hollow out the inside of a pumpkin or pumpkins and place a small pot or plastic container inside to hold your favorite fall plants like mums or succulents.
These pumpkin planters add a fun and festive touch to your living room or outdoor terrace.
Cozy Throw Blankets and Pillows
Transform your apartment into a snug autumn retreat by swapping out your summer throw pillows and blankets for styles in warm, earthy tones like burnt orange, deep burgundy, and rich browns.
Choose chunky knit blankets or faux fur throws to add texture and comfort to your living room, bedroom, or even your remote office space.
DIY Leaf Garland
Bring the beauty of the outdoors inside with a DIY leaf garland.
Gather colorful autumn leaves from a local park or use faux leaves from a craft store. String them together with twine or ribbon, and drape the garland across your windows, mantel, or bookshelves for an instant fall vibe.
Mason Jar Candle Holders
Create a warm, ambient glow in your apartment with DIY mason jar candle holders.
Fill the jars with acorns, mini pinecones, or even dried cranberries, and place a flameless, battery-powered, candle-shaped tealight in the center for safety (and less mess from dripping wax).
Line them up on your coffee table, windowsill, or dining table for a cozy and rustic look.
Personalized Pumpkin Art
Get creative with some personalized pumpkin art. Instead of carving, try painting or using stencils to add your own designs to pumpkins.
Whether you go for a chic monochrome look or a fun, colorful pattern, these decorated pumpkins can be displayed on your kitchen counter, shelves, or even as a centerpiece on your dining or outdoor terrace table.
Fall Scented Diffusers
Set the mood with DIY fall-scented diffusers.
Fill a glass jar or bottle with a mixture of essential oils like cinnamon, clove, and orange, and add some diffuser reeds. Not only will this make your apartment smell amazing, but it also doubles as a decorative piece.
