Being a home decor lover who's on a budget, Louise understands switching up your space for the season can be a costly ordeal:

"Decorating your home for the season and spending on the non-essential items can seem out of budget. But admittedly, non of us can resist buying a pumpkin-scented candle or two when fall comes around – I know I can't".

So aside from the fact these home decor pieces are completely chic and, of course, in an appropriate color palette of burnt orange, reds and browns, we've made sure they're worth every cent. We've shopped around, and found affordable buys that won't cost a buck. And we've chosen versatile pieces that won't look out of place for the rest of year, either.

15 budget-friendly fall decor buys for your home 


When should you start decorating for fall?

The beginning of fall is officially September 22nd but there's no set timeline to when you should begin filling your space with all things fall. As a general guideline, we'd suggest you start decorating for fall when the weather begins to change. See leaves on the ground or a cloud in the sky and there's your sign.

How do you decorate for fall on a budget?

Buying all new home decor for the season can be costly. While we'd all love to completely transform our space with in fall color schemes and buying a best couch in a color to match, it's not always within everyone's budget. But there are ways you can decorate for fall without having to overspend. Working in soft textiles and scents are subtle ways to welcome fall when you're on a budget, for example. There are cheap décor pieces like a candle, cushion or throw that can change the smell and feel of your home.
