Tuck me inside a cozy living room with fluffy throw pillows, a fire burning, and a warm blanket on my lap. That's my idea of fall, all nestled and warm in my own home. If you're the same, I've got the 10 fall decor ideas to help you create a cozy vibe in your home. 

Do you ever wonder how to decorate your home for a new season? I used to just pull out my fall living room decor and slowly switch out summer accessories for fall ones, piece by piece. One day I'd switch out the decorative pillows. Then the next I'd redecorate the bookshelves. But that ended up taking so long! 

These days, I find it much easier now to do it all in one fell swoop. I clear out all the summer accessories and put them away and start with a blank slate. 

Then I bring out living room fall decor and sort it in three categories: florals, accessories, and art. 

This is any easy way to see exactly what cozy accents you have and decide what fall color scheme you want to work with. Seeing all my decorations together led me to a color palette of dark browns, cream, and warm yellows and golds. 

I was able to edit out different things that didn't fall in with those rich colors, like the brighter green faux plants, and the single orange candle. Then, what I'm left with, coordinates beautifully together. Just arrange objects around the room for a cohesive and pleasant look. 

One fall trend I'm embracing is the shift towards warmer woods. I've been on the hunt lately at my favourite thrifting sources for wood furniture and wood frames. 

I bought this secondhand entryway table in the summer and had every intention to paint it. It's red-toned mahogany finish didn't exactly match the rest of my home decor, but maybe that unexpected pop is a great way to freshen up my home. 

You can see how the mahogany entry table picks up on the red toned wood floors and the wood art frame. The rich wood tones complement the neutral paint colours and accessories beautifully.

A quick look around this living space and its obvious that I'm a fan of equestrian decor. It's an easy style to incorporate. I've had these horse motif pillow covers for a while now and paired them with vintage horse art printables, a horse bust, and a horseshoe. Even my quilted herringbone parka brings an equestrian touch. 

There is something about artwork featuring horses and hounds that brings a fall feel to a room. Perhaps it's the autumn hues in the art, or the fact that things like hunting signal a specific time of year. Having a large equestrian art piece over the mantel really sets the tone and brings all of those details together. 

One fall sign you can't deny is mother nature slowly preparing for the slumber of winter. Bringing in natural elements like a vase of fall leaves, acorns, and wheat sheafs signifies the change of season. 

I like to scatter faux pumpkins around the room. Having them painted in neutral greys or made out of plaid fabric is a fun way to keep within my colour palette while adding soft textures.

Using branches cut from your garden is a budget-friendly way to decorate, or opt for faux florals in fall colors if you don't have a garden at hand! 

Fall is the perfect time to bring out all the cozy blankets and ward off those cooler temperatures. A plaid blanket on an armchair invites you to sit by the fire and stay warm. A collection of toss pillows in the window seat beckons you to sit and enjoy a cup of tea. 

Can you have too many pillows in one room? Perhaps but textiles go a long way in making your living room cozy and inviting. I love the look of pillows and plaid blankets in a room even when its not in use. You catch a glimpse as you walk by and you get that instant cozy feel. 

This is the time of year when the days get gloomy and rainy. Its important to have different sources of light in your living room in the fall. This can be anything from a pumpkin spice candle set on the coffee table, to a vintage lamp on a side table, to recessed lighting overhead. 

Of course, there's nothing better than a roaring fire to make your living room feel extra cozy. Lamps are having a bit of a renaissance too so look for ones with character. This brushed brass floor lamp adds both function and beautiful shine to the living room. 

One of the best ways to decorate for fall is with vintage accessories. Elements like vintage trophies, old crocks, ceramic vases, and vintage art add character and personality to your home. Their cracks and not so perfect appearance are part of their appeal. Think of creative ways to use old things.

By moving the chairs, I'm able to create a cozier seating arrangement and make the living room feel less expansive. Having one armchair on either side of the sofa creates a pleasant zone for conversation. All chairs are within reach of the coffee table, making it easy to sit and enjoy a cup of tea while sitting down for a talk. 

Placing the plaid armchair next to the fireplace also invites one to sit and enjoy the warmth of the fire. Its the perfect spot to enjoy a good book.

This new layout also gives an enticing view into the living room. I love this peek beyond the pocket doors, especially when the fire is on.
