cool fall decor ideas on a budget cover

Fall is officially here and it’s time to add some embracing touches to your home décor. How to decorate on a budget? We’ve gathered some cool and simple ideas that everyone can use, take a look!

Do Smart Shopping

Go to the local thrift stores at the most random times of the year. Fall wreaths seem to show up on the shelves in the middle of spring or summer, so you can buy them for just a couple of bucks. Clearance aisles with post-season décor are great to find something cool for the next fall season there. You can get a 30-40% discount and sometimes even up to 70%!

Repurpose Items For The Season

If you have a chalkboard, write a message on it just for fall. Fill a lantern with pinecones. Or if you have a typewriter, tuck a printed fall quote inside. Use old shutters to create a bold and inspiring fall sign, or get some old crates or boxes to create a rustic pumpkin display on the porch.

Rely On Nature

Fall and winter seasons are perfect to decorate with natural items and objects, which will bring coziness to the space. Pinecones from the yard, a few branches cut from the trees, apples from the produce aisle (or apple tree if you’re really lucky), use whatever you find on a nature walk to scatter on a table or shelf for dirt cheap (literally). Create beautiful centerpieces, decorations and even installations of these elements.
