fall window

Fall is here! Celebrate the season by decorating your home with fall colors and symbols. Beautifying your home in fall can help you enjoy autumn’s glory, whether you’re inside or outside.

1. Refresh Window Boxes with Autumn Blooms

Summer flowers start to look scraggly at this time of year. Replace window box blossoms with fall favorites like mums, pansies, and violas. These flowers are resilient in cool temperatures and thrive throughout the fall.

To make your flowers last for as long as possible, deadhead blossoms until the plants fully die. Spread several inches of mulch around the base of your flowers to prevent the roots from freezing when temperatures drop.

2. Create Decorative Window Boxes Without Plants

You don’t have to fill your flower boxes with flowers to enjoy seasonal beauty! For low-maintenance seasonal decorating, fill boxes with glass pumpkins, pine cones, and miniature scarecrows instead of flowers. Use natural materials and warm colors for a rustic autumn look.

3. Add Rustic Bouquets to Drapes

Bring natural beauty indoors! Tie fall leaves and pine cones together with ribbon to create drapery accents. Use warm-toned ribbons in orange, gold, or red for a festive feel. This brings natural elegance and texture to indoor spaces. Alternatively, you can also make a small bouquet of fall leaves and attractive twigs for your window sills.

4. Make a Maple Leaf Garland

Gather real or artificial maple leaves in red, yellow, and orange shades. String them into garlands to hang across your windows or around window frames.

Real leaves will turn brittle and change as they dry out, while artificial leaves will make less mess and may be easier to work with. Either way, leaves symbolize autumn’s changing colors while adding organic charm.

5. Decorate Sills with Mini Pumpkins

Line bay or bow windows with small glass, ceramic, or faux pumpkins. Want to achieve a cozy look? Consider crocheted pumpkins filled with pillow fiber fill.

These decorations are reusable year after year and can be placed anywhere in the house to create a simple yet classic fall accent. Mix sizes and shades for added visual interest.

6. Embrace Spooky Halloween Décor

Adorn windows with bat decals, fake spiderwebs, and ghost stickers. These decorations are great for creating a fun and festive Halloween display. If you have children, use this as an opportunity to decorate together. Decals are easy to remove or replace once the holiday passes!

7. Transition to Thanksgiving-Themed Accents

As Halloween transitions to Thanksgiving, swap spooky window decals for turkey figurines, stuffed animals, and harvest trinkets. This reflects the spirit of gratitude and abundance, and keeps your window décor fresh through late fall. Put away any decorations that are purple and black, and replace them with decorations that are brown, orange, red, and yellow.
