7 Fall Decorating Ideas: Room by Room

I am so excited to share some fall decorating tips, ideas and our Fall 2025 Home Tour this year with you!! Since we moved about this time last year, I wasn’t able to decorate for fall. And because we moved….. I might have gone a little “extra” this year at our new house – lol! Hopefully you will find some easy and simple decorating ideas with each of the different vignettes that you can create at your own home (instead of going a little crazy like me 😉 ) . Let’s get to it. 7 Fall Decorating Ideas: Room by Room.

If I have time, I will try to do some additional posts on some of the DIY fall items that I used for this post 🙂

7 Fall Decorating Ideas: Room by Room

Since this was our first year in this house to decorate for fall, I had to spend a little more time than usual setting things up.

And as a result, I “tried” on several different looks (vignettes) in each room, to see what would work or not.

So I ended up decorating a lot more than in past years. Yikes!!
But the good thing is, each room has it’s own color scheme and vibe. Yay!!
Which means you’ll be able to take tips from each vignette and tweak them to fit your own fall masterpiece. Woohoo!!

Decorated Ideas + Rooms :

Entry
Dining Room
Kitchen
Built in Boocase (our hallway)
Powder Bath
Breakfast Table
Living Room + Mantel

Let’s get to it! 7 Fall Decorating Ideas: Room by Room.

7 Fall Decorating Ideas: Room by Room

#1) Entry

In our entry this year, I used an orange and dusty rose color palette.

Get The Look

For the console:

Start with a white tray and white cake stand, and add a couple of different-sized orange pumpkins.
Then add some orange leaf floral stems to the vase.
Complete the look with a silver leaf tray + orange and dusty rose fabric pumpkins.

(and you’ll also notice I added a “Goose” this year – lol – our new dog)!!

Then I used those same colors on our entry bench to tie it all together.

I love how the bench vignette looks so simple and clean, yet completely brings in the coziness factor.
It welcomes our guest as soon as they come in the front door.

#2) Dining Room

In our dining room, I chose amber gold and dusty blue for the color scheme.

Here is a full view.

Get The Look

For the table centerpiece and table decor:

Start with a dusty blue gingam check table runner and pale blue tray.
Then add yellow gold leaf floral stems and gold candle leaf sconces with blue taper candles to the centerpiece.
Complete the table decor with 2 large, white vintage pumpkins made from old bedspreads & ochre-colored votive candles.

Get the Look

For the table place settings:

Use round ochre-colored placemats and white/blue dinner plates with dusty blue napkins (my mom embroidered our’s – thanks mom).
Then add darker blue-gray fabric pumpkins to the top (2 larger ones at the ends).
Finish it off with the soft amber gold glasses.

Get The Look

For the console:

Use blue lamps and a blue and white ginger jar to anchor the console.
Then add some stacked ochre-colored salad plates, a fall sign, and a small white pumpkin for accents.
Complete the look with a whimsical polka dot bow to your blue and white jinger jar, and floral pillows to captain’s chairs.

(Don’t you love how I tried to be dramatic and separate the flowers – for a segway into the console)? Yes, eye roll entered!!

Plus, I still love to pop these “Give Thanks” and “Grateful, Thankful, Blessed” signs around the dining room + kitchen.

They not only pick up the blue tones for decorating, they help to act as daily reminders for the blessings of the season!
Seeing is believing – right?

And here is the other side of the dining room.

I really love how the other 2 floral pillows and x-benches make the room look cohesive.

#3) Kitchen

In our kitchen, I used an orange and green color palette.

Get The Look

For the kitchen island:

Use a tiered tray with different-sized orange + sage green fabric pumpkins, and orange bow.
Then add a cutting board with crystal candle holders + white taper candles.
Complete the look with fall flowers, orange candle,
and of course the vintage-inspired green pumpkin hand towels (the inspiration for this vignette).

#4) Built in Bookcases

Our bookcases are in a hallway that leads to the powder bath – so I decided to use a deep red/burgundy color palette in here.

Get The Look

For the built in bookcases vignette:

Start with a red leaf garland strand to the lower shelves + a couple of pinecones in the center.
Then add 4 small white pumpkins + 4 single red leaf picks to accent those pumpkins.
Complete the look with fall wheat bushels with deep red/burgundy ribbon.

#5) Powder Bath (or Coffee Table)

Our powder bath is a little unusual because it has 2 sides with counters (one with a sink, and one with a dressing table area). So I decided to decorate both sides.

**** You could also use these vignettes on a coffee table ****

Get The Look

For the sink side (tray) vignette:

Add some gold fall stems and gold candle to a tray.
Then place a candle jar into the center of a glass vase and fill with pot pourri.
Complete the look with pinecone garland.

And this is what the other side looked like.

And I loved all of the candles in here.

But…..I had another idea …..keep reading!!

#6) Breakfast Table

But…… since I loved the pumpkin vignette so much, I decided “she” needed her own space – LOL!

So she got moved to a spotlight position – now as the breakfast table centerpiece (such a Drama Queen)!!

Get The Look

For the iron pumpkin vignette:

You’ll need a round woven tray/ pot pourri/ ivory floral picks/ wooden cake stand/ iron pumkin/ LED candles/ bow

Start with a round woven tray, fill with pot pourri (leaving a whole in the center), and place onto the cake stand.
Then add a bow to the top of the iron pumpkin, a LED candle, and place it in the center of the round tray.
Pop in some ivory floral picks to the sides to give it more visual weight.
Complete the look with 2 LED pumpkin candles – for even more drama 😉

#7) Living Room + Mantel

In the living room I went with an orange and green color scheme and I loved how the mantel turned out!

Get The Look

For the mantel vignette:

Start with 2 green garland strands + 1 dried oranges garland strand and hang onto your mantel.
Add white pumpkins in different sizes and flank with 2 tall gold candle lanterns on the hearth.
Complete the look with white flowers in green planters on top to add some height.

For living room decor:

Simply add a couple of rust pillows + throw blanket, and add some fall flowers to your end tables.

Here is a full view.

I am loving this vintage vibe from the dried orange garland – so cute! Plus you’ll see them again at Christmas time 😉

And these craft pumpkins are perfect as working a little double duty – for Halloween also. Scroll to the end to see them.

And here’s a side pic with the fall flowers on the end table. They just help tie all of the colors together.

LOL! I just had to show you the Halloween setup as well! I love how you can just decorate one side of the craft pumkins and simply turn them around for a whole new look.
