Here are just a few ways to fill your living space with the sights and smells of the year\u2019s most cozy season.<\/p>\n
Throws and Pillows and Blankets, Oh My<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKill two birds with one stone (keeping warm and decorating for fall)\u00a0by putting some beautiful throws and comfy blankets out on display. There\u2019s nothing better than cozying up with an earth-toned blanket on a lazy day. To create a \u201cfall vibe\u201d in your home, go for classic prints, like plaid, and materials like chunky cable knit. We especially love this one<\/a> from Pier One Imports,\u00a0this cable knit throw<\/a> from Wayfair, or this inexpensive pumpkin throw pillow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\nLight Those Candles<\/h2>\n
As the days get darker, you\u2019ll need a little more light in your house to lift your spirits. Gather tea lights, votives, and rustic lanterns! Buy fall-scented candles to make your apartment feel (and smell) like an autumn haven. (Just don\u2019t forget to blow them out before you go out or go to bed!)<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\nPumpkins!<\/h2>\n
Using mini pumpkins as accents for your home is such a cute way to welcome fall into your home! You can buy all different colors, shapes, and sizes from Trader Joe’s (here in California) or any grocery store throughout the U.S.<\/p>\n
Make a Wreath<\/h2>\n
Dress up doors, windows, or even an empty space above your stove or mantel with a colorful fall wreath. You can buy them rather inexpensively, or make one yourself using cobs of corn, mini pumpkins, zucchini, berry garlands or autumnal flowers to add splashes of orange, reds, yellows and browns.

<\/h2>\nBerry Garland<\/h2>\n
If you have a banister or a mantle, run a beautiful berry garland<\/a>\u00a0along the wood to make just the right fall statement.<\/p>\nCreate a Fall Centerpiece for Your Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDecorate your table with a homemade centerpiece<\/a> made from fall flowers, pumpkins, leaves, pine cones, and of course, candles. All you\u2019ll really need is a few fall elements, a table top, and some imagination to create something that looks festive at every meal. Or, simply place different sizes of fall vegetables, gourds, pumpkins, etc. on the dining room table for a (cost-effective) centerpiece<\/a>.<\/p>\nFall Flowers<\/h2>\n
Use dahlias, ranunculus, and foraged clippings from your yard, even leaves and branches. Then style them in a simple vase, or rustic pot (depending upon the size of your arrangement) to create an arrangement that would look perfect on your mantel.<\/p>\n
