As the weather starts to shift, so does the feeling inside our homes. You don’t need a full décor makeover to embrace the season, just a few thoughtful swaps can make your space feel instantly cozier. Today, I’m sharing 5 simple items to transition your home for fall. I found mine at HomeGoods, but I’m linking a ton of great (and affordable!) options from Target & Walmart so you can recreate the look.

1. Cozy Throw Blankets
Adding a throw blanket is one of the easiest ways to make your home feel like fall. Look for chunky knits, soft fleece, or textures in warm tones like olive, camel, rust, and burgundy. Drape one across your sofa or layer it on your bed for instant comfort.
2. Seasonal Pillows
Swapping out your pillows, or pillow covers is a quick, budget-friendly way to transition your home décor for fall. Think plaid patterns, velvet textures, and autumn-inspired shades. Even just two updated pillows on your couch can make a big impact.

3. Candles & Candle Holders
Fall is all about cozy ambiance, and nothing sets the mood like candles. Whether you prefer pumpkin spice, apple cider, or warm vanilla, lighting a candle instantly makes a room feel inviting. For an elevated touch, style them with decorative holders, brass, ceramic, or glass hurricanes add that extra layer of fall charm.

4. Decorative Accents
Small seasonal accents make a big difference. Think glass pumpkins, rustic wood bowls, or woven baskets styled on your entryway console or coffee table. These subtle pieces help transition your home for fall without feeling overwhelming or cluttered.

5. Fall Florals & Wreaths
Don’t forget about florals! A simple fall wreath on your front door or faux stems of pampas grass, eucalyptus, or dahlias in a vase can instantly bring seasonal beauty indoors. Florals are an easy way to add height, color, and texture that tie the whole space together. I love swapping out fresh florals in a vase from Trader Joe’s based on what’s in season as well.
I’ve linked my favorite finds below, affordable, stylish, and perfect to help you bring that cozy fall feeling home.
