Although the weather is still (thankfully) feeling like late summer, we have officially landed in September and I for one am getting very excited for fall. For me, the best thing about the cooler months is the excuse to bunker down and get cozy at home, surrounded by candlelight and bundled up in blankets.
There's just something very special about this time of year. But while the outdoors might be transitioning to orange and red hues, I'm looking to capture the essence of autumn in a more subtle way. Neutral fall decor ideas are a great way to achieve that cozy fall feeling without overwhelming your space.
Layering different textures in neutral tones can create an inviting yet sophisticated feel. Think chunky knit blankets, soft linen pillows, and warm wood accents. Whether you're planning to refresh your couch with plush throws or add a few statement pieces to your dining area ready for holiday hosting, there’s no better way to welcome the season than by incorporating some fall-inspired touches.
The best neutral fall decor to shop in September
If you're anything like me, you'll be already on the hunt for cozy, neutral fall decor that will seamlessly transition your space from summer vibes to autumn's warm and inviting embrace. But if you're feeling stuck, I've rounded up my top picks to help you with adding some fall touches to your spaces.
These are the items that have caught my eye and are sure to make your space feel like a cozy haven as the temperatures drop.
I didn't know I was in need of a checkered glass pumpkin until I saw this. Simple yet ornate, these charming glass pumpkins come in 3 colorways and can sit alone or as a full set on your tabletop.
These golden artificial nandina leaves will add a pop of warmth to a neutral kitchen, like the above, or can be perched daintily on your tabletop or mantel.
Faux fur pillows are nothing new in interiors, but the modern spherical shape really adds a unique and dimensional element to your couch styling. Plus it's super soft.
Designed by Joanna Gaines for Magnolia Home, these Green Striped Napkins bring a timeless sense of nostalgia to the table. Coming in a set of four, each is lightweight, machine washable, and made with a soft fabric blend.
Nothing says cozy more than soft, ambient lighting. This clever cordless table lamp is not only portable, but casts a golden glow thanks to the layered brass shade.
Macy's is a treasure trove of neutral fall decor right now, like this plaid farmhouse style blanket. Made from 100% acrylic, it has been designed to have a cashmere-like feel and is lovely and light-weight.
Fall is all about nights spent on the couch for me, and that has to include a tray of hot cocoa, snacks, and a scented candle. This wavy edge tray from H&M is a bargain and can be used for drinks or decor.
Take Halloween decor but make it chic with this woven pumpkin from Potter Barn. It's a versatile piece that can sit on your porch, table, entryway, or next to the hearth and glows with tiny, energy-saving bulbs.
This tulip design is one that weaves throughout the entire Magnolia fall collection. Elevate your bookshelf with these vintage-inspired Brass Tulip Bookends. The intricate floral detailing adds a touch of whimsy to shelves.
Of course, you're going to need a stylish vessel when decorating with branches for fall. With a unique shape and looped handles, the handmade Arnette vase has a subtle rustic feel that elevates vignettes.
Thick, snuggly, and oh-so-soft, this fringed throw is perfect for hiding under while watching scary movies this Halloween. The buttery hue will make a warming addition to a neutral couch or bed.
To welcome all your guests this Fall, might we suggest a stylish front door wreath? Featuring beige pumpkins, natural wheat, and delicate berries nestled amongst pampas grass, the soft tones are perfect for neutral fall decor.
So, what should you be adding to your cart this season? From elegant, earth-toned pillows and throws to woven pumpkins and delicate table linens, these neutral fall decor picks are sure to inspire a little September shopping.
