10 Easy Ways to Add a Touch of Fall to Your Home

I am a total autumn baby. I'm always looking for ways of making my home feel a bit more like the season I love so much - but I'm also broke as hell most of the time so spending loads of money on fancy decorations isn't an option. Luckily for me (and you), Pinterest is full of great ideas for adding a touch of fall to your home, without breaking the bank. Let's check them out.

1. Pumpkins
Want your house to feel more like autumn? Put a pumpkin just about anywhere. It doesn't even have to be a real pumpkin. There are so many great ways to you can make pumpkin decorations and most of them are uber cheap. Upcycle cans, crates, pallets, and more for touch of fall.

2. Leaves
Nothing says "Autumn is here!" like colourful leaves. You can use fake leaves, of course, or go on a hunt to find the perfect leaves for your projects - just remember to preserve them so they last.

3. Apples
The smell, sight, and taste of crisp apples will definitely make you think of fall. Unfortunately, decorating with fresh apples isn't exactly the best way to go, since they won't last but there are so many apple-themed crafts out there to try that it'd be a shame not to try one or two (or twelve) of them.

4. Indian Corn
Colourful stalks of Indian Corn are perfect for the period leading from Halloween to Thanksgiving and make great centrepieces and wreathes.

5. Sunflowers
Sunflowers always remind me of the end of summer and harvest festivals. They're bright and cheery and will definitely make your house feel more like fall. How about making your own sunflower art that you can bring out every year?

6. Plaid
Plaid is so fall. I love wearing plaid in the autumn - and your house does too! Think about adding a plaid fleece or throw pillows to your couch for a cosy touch of fall.

7. Mason Jars
I don't think there's any season or holiday that can't be improved with the addition of a mason jar or two. Paint them, fill them flowers, or even turn them into happy little scarecrows.

8. Wheat
You might not think of wheat when you think of decorating for fall but it is harvest time and wheat makes a superb natural decoration. A few sheaves of wheat will make any house feel ore autumnal.

9. Nuts
We're lucky to live in a place where chestnuts and hazelnuts can be heard falling as you walk by. I can never resist snatching them up. But what to do with them? How about an ornament? Or even a wreath? (Don't forget pine cones make great decorations too!)

10. Mums
Mums are the flower of fall, especially in orange and yellow tones. You can pair them with pumpkins, too, to make your home feel even more like fall.
