I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about fall decor (in the midst of summer), but it’s here, and I’m actually really excited. As I’ve gotten older, the lore of celebrating the fall season just gets better with every year, and thinking about it earlier this year doesn’t bother me one bit. I’m a fall girlie through and through.

When I’m decorating for a new season, I always start with the living room. It’s the epicenter of the home and where everyone gathers, so it makes the most sense to deck that space out in fall decor first. I took a deep dive on the internet to find the cutest fall decor that’ll make your living room feel like a warm hug.

The Must-Have Living Room Decor I Always Swap for Any Season

When it comes to decorating my living room for a new season or holiday, at the bare minimum, I do several decorative swaps in my space. These are all super simple and relatively inexpensive to do, while adding a cozy aesthetic to your living room.

• Seasonal Decorative Pillows: Swapping year-round decorative pillows with seasonal pillows is a super way to instantly make your living room match the season.

• Cozy Blanket: Add a cozy blanket to the end of your couch or on an accent chair for a decorative touch and easy grab if you plan to cuddle up and binge-watch a show.

• Add Decor to The Cozy Table: Your coffee table is at the center of your living room, so taking a moment to swap out a few of the decorative items with fall-themed items is a great way to make your seasonal decor more cohesive in your space.

• Swap Decor on Shelves: If you have bookshelves in your living room, adding a few pumpkins, fall candles, and other fall decorative items to the shelf will make your living room feel even more festive.

Fall Decorative Pillows

Like I mentioned above, swapping pillow covers and decorative pillows is the easiest way to add a fall touch to your living room without too much effort. There are so many adorable patterns and prints, too. Whether you’re looking for a minimal design, a warm floral pillow cover, or a cute fall-scene pillow, any of these pillows will set the tone for the decor look you’re going for in your space.

Cozy Throw Blankets

Throw blankets are something I have in my living room year-round (mostly because I’m a chronic blanket-wearer). However, when the weather gets colder, I’m in need of a thicker, warmer blanket. These blankets are perfect swaps for the season, because they even have warm, fall colors in them.

Autumn Coffee Table Decor

The epicenter of your living room is your coffee table, so why not make it a whole moment? Swap out your summer vase and florals for an artistic brown vase and some dried leaf branches. Place a delicious fall candle in with the mix for a gorgeous glow and scent in your space.

Warm-Scented Fall Candles

A living room is not complete without a fall candle. It has a way of christening the room for a new season with its scent. I’m probably biased, but fall is the elite season for candle scents. There is everything from sweet pumpkin scents to cinnamon apples and warm coffee scents to fill your home with. Ugh, it’s just too good — you can’t go wrong with anything you choose.

Other Fun Fall Living Room Touches

If you’re looking for other ways to add a cozy aesthetic to your living room for fall, maybe think of adding a cute decorative mirror, some patterned curtains, or a new table lamp to your space. These small tweaks can make all the difference in creating a cohesive autumnal design.
