Introduction 

Fall is the perfect time to decorate your apartment. It’s a time for cooler weather, football games and plenty of pumpkins. But what if you don’t live in a house with a yard? Don’t worry. There are still ways to enjoy the fall weather and decorate your apartment units. Decorating your apartment in fall colours can help you get in the spirit of things, adding warmth and colour to your home while making it feel like a cozy place to cuddle up on chilly evenings.

Here are five creative ways to decorate your apartment or condo this fall season:

Choose a Theme

Choose a theme and plan decorations that reflect your personality and the look you want to achieve in your apartment. Your theme may be related to colour—such as using forest green and burnished orange throughout your place—or may incorporate a character or group of objects.

When choosing your Fall decorating theme, consider why you love this season. Your favourite season is Fall because it reminds you of harvest time or Halloween. Maybe you love romance, as well as your apartment unit.

Display a Wreath

Displaying a wreath is one of the easiest ways to create an instantly festive look. Wreaths aren’t just for Christmas these days; they can also be modified to fit any theme or season. Ready-made fall wreaths are available at craft stores and plant nurseries. If you enjoy creating your décor, making a wreath is a fairly simple do-it-yourself project. Pinterest and Woman’s Day offer ideas and instructions for wreaths that add a little autumn flair to your apartment.

Decorate with Festive Pillows

Pillows are an affordable way to bring colour and texture into your home. Adding fall-themed pillows will help you enjoy the season without worrying about putting them away once winter comes. It’s a small change that can make a big difference in your apartment unit.

Choose Autumn-Themed Bedding

Give your bedroom a cozy fall makeover. You spend several hours in your bedroom, so why not turn it into a fall oasis with autumn-themed bedding? Select a duvet, comforter or bedspread in colourful fall shades or rich plaids. You may be an adult, but that doesn’t mean your sheets must be plain and boring! Plenty of manufacturers sell whimsical linens covered in pumpkins, ghosts, haunted houses or skeletons in full, queen and king sizes.

Make a Fall-Inspired Centerpiece

Create fall-themed centrepieces, or “dining tablescapes” as they’re called in the industry, with pumpkins. Add tall candles in coordinating colours and patterns (or even gold) for added drama! Small and medium pumpkins work best for a simple display, but if you want something more elaborate, purchase a few white pumpkins or cover orange ones in white paint or spray paint and add silver glitter if desired.
