With Labor Day behind us, we can finally start thinking about autumn. Without a doubt, fall is such a splendid time of year here in the south. It's the favorite season for many southerners, especially since the temperatures are finally starting to drop and the leaves will start turning soon.
With fall quickly approaching, you may have thought about adding a few autumnal touches to your home. However, you may not want to spend a lot of money, especially since the holidays are just around the corner.
The good news is you can find dozens of simple and cozy fall home décor ideas, especially online. Pinterest, for example, is always a great place to start when seeking decorating ideas to match both your personal decorating style and your budget. And speaking of budget-friendly ideas, you can easily make your home look fabulous for the fall without breaking the bank. As well, these fall home decor ideas are designed to last throughout the entire season so you won't need to change them out each month or so unless you want to.
Here are a few fall home décor ideas, with each displaying the warmth and coziness autumn has to offer:
1. Decorate the mantel
You can add autumnal touches with red, yellow and orange leaves (real or artificial) as accents on and around your mantel. Place pumpkins and gourds of all sizes within the leaves to complete the look. In addition, rather than lighting a fire in the fireplace, itself (since it's not that cold yet), you might like to use a few candles to create a cozy ambiance.

2. Dress up the dining room table
You can easily make your dining room table look seasonal with fall centerpieces and table decorations. Using the same decoration ideas as the mantel, you can spruce up your table with leaves, small pumpkins, and even candles.

3. Add warmth to the kitchen
Utilize any spare counter space and the tops of your kitchen cabinets to set baskets or vases filled with seasonal flowers (again, real or artificial) such as Chrysanthemums and/or bowls filled with apples. You can also add small pumpkins and gourds if you have enough space.
