12 Fall Home Decor Ideas for 2021
There's still a few weeks of summer left but my attention has transitioned to
fall. Perhaps it's these hot, humid temperatures lately, but I'm looking
forward to cooler days, wearing layers, and changing the palette in my home
decor.
Fall is a chance to warm things up and there's no better way to do that than
with russet tones, deep charcoal, and warmer whites. By bringing in saturated
and warm colours, you can create a feeling of comfort, coziness, and slowing
down.

Fall Home Decor Ideas
More than any other season, I find that fall lends itself well to
traditional and classic styles. Fall home decor for 2021 sees a continuation of
the English country look, with small scale patterns, classic art, and natural
materials taking centre stage.
Here's 12 fall home decor ideas that will have your home on trend for 2021:
1. Equestrian Art
The world of digital art has made it extremely easy to update your walls for
the season. Etsy has many sellers who have curated art that has fallen into
the public domain and you can find prints for any subject matter (here's a
roundup of
vintage landscapes). For fall, equestrian art seems just right. The mossy greens, beiges, and
mustard yellows found in horse prints bring moody colour to your home.

2. Wooden Knobs
Even the smallest of details can have big impact. These mango wood knobs add instant texture and warmth. Use them to switch out the knobs on your bedside nightstand, bifold doors, or kitchen cabinets. For a clever update, pair them with a vintage dresser where their earthy colour and pleasant shape bring contrast.

3. Alabaster Lighting
If you're looking to update your lighting this season, go for something in alabaster. This classic material feels new and unexpected. The warm glow of a lightbulb shines through the veining in this flush mount light. Off or on, this light is sure to catch your attention.

My husband might not agree, but I think there's always a need for a good woven throw. This chenille woven throw feels autumnal yet timeless.
