Add Warm Textures

Start with the simple stuff, blankets, pillows, and rugs. Think chunky knit throws, faux fur, or plaid flannels. These not only look inviting but also keep you cozy when the temperature drops.

Layering textures instantly makes a room feel warmer.

Switch Up the Colors

Summer may be all about bright and fresh hues, but fall calls for earthy tones.

Deep oranges, rich browns, olive greens, and mustard yellows are perfect. You can bring these colors in through pillow covers, table runners, or even candles.

Bring in Seasonal Scents

Fall isn’t just about what you see, it’s also about what you smell. Scented candles, essential oils, or simmer pots with cinnamon, cloves, and oranges can make your apartment smell like autumn magic.

Decorate with Nature

Nature provides the best fall décor. Small pumpkins, dried flowers, pinecones, or even branches in a vase can instantly bring in that autumn vibe. They’re simple, affordable, and seasonal.

Adjust the Lighting

As days get shorter, cozy lighting makes all the difference. Swap harsh white bulbs for warm, soft ones. Add a string of fairy lights or a couple of lanterns to give your space a calm, inviting glow.

Don’t Forget the Kitchen

A bowl of seasonal fruit like apples and pears or a jar of cinnamon sticks can double as décor and snacks. Even swapping to mugs with fall designs can make your daily coffee or tea feel extra comforting.

Final Tip: Transitioning your apartment for fall doesn’t have to mean spending a lot. A few thoughtful swaps can transform your space into a cozy retreat where you’ll actually look forward to curling up on the couch.

Flameless Candles

These are a simple and safe way to introduce both October and November holiday’s to the outside of your apartment. Perfect for standing solo in lanterns, candle holders, and pumpkins alike. Avoiding any concerns with actual flame, candle wax damage or staining, and exterior sprinkler heads is just an added bonus. In addition, these always look gorgeous inside window sills all throughout December too.

Pumpkins

Nothing says autumn is finally here quite like pumpkins. If you’re looking for a cost effective way to spice up your patio or balcony, pumpkins are a must have décor item. Try buying pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, the uglier the better. Fill a bowl on your outdoor table with small pumpkins as a centerpiece. Toss in different colors like white with sage green, and a little orange. Pumpkins add versatility to your outdoor space, no matter which ones you choose. So have fun with it!

Apartment renter note – make sure you’re checking your pumpkins regularly, and dispose of any that start rotting.

Outdoor Pillows

Decorations are fun, but they’re even better when they’re functional. The chillier it gets, the more we all embrace fall as the season to start snuggling for warmth. Now is the time to whip out and layer cozy throw pillows.

Select traditional prints like dark red, mustard yellow, or plaid. For an intimate outdoor patio or balcony, choose different textures and add a few neutral tones to add more warmth. Since this space is an extension of your apartment home, the inside of your apartment will feel more comfy with this added view too.

Decorating your apartment can be a great mood-booster for yourself, and also for your neighbors. We hope you try out some of our outdoor fall decorating ideas and can’t wait to enjoy them with you while visiting our different Southeastern Wisconsin communities!
