Cozy Fall Kitchen Decor
1. Fall placemats and table settings
One of the most important places in the kitchen is your table, so of course, you have to ensure you decorate it as well. A nice fall color coordinated table setting with a matching placemat. There are plenty of gorgeous table settings you can choose from, but if you prefer a more neutral table setting, you can add a fun place setting. For fall, there are so many cute options, such as a pumpkin-shaped or leaf-shaped placemat.
2. Fall table centerpieces
Now that you have a gorgeous placemat and table setting, don’t forget to complete your table decor with a stunning centerpiece. There are many different directions that you can go with for your centerpiece.
A popular option is to put together a combination of flowers, gourds, and other fall-related items. Another great option is a combination of fall-colored candles with different fabrics, such as plaid or even a wool or tweed texture would work beautifully to capture the autumnal theme.
3. Gorgeous fall flowers
A stunning bouquet of flowers is always a very popular decor item, regardless of what season you’re in, and fall is no different. If you’re looking to put together a bouquet that fits with a fall theme, you could start with selecting flowers that fit the typical fall color scheme of browns, yellows, reds, and oranges.
Specifically, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, marigolds, dahlias, and roses work the best. And don’t be afraid to throw some greenery in there as well. These could sit anywhere in your kitchen, from your dining room table to any counter available. There’s almost no wrong place for a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
4. Fall candles
With another nod to the cozy theme of fall, candles are another great decor piece to add to your kitchen. Fall is the perfect season for warm and nostalgic candle scents. It depends on what vibe you’re trying to go for, but having something fruity and spiced or earthy would be a great pick.
When looking at more fruity or spice-related candles, both apple cider and pumpkin-flavored would be great options. If you’re more into woodsy or something nature-inspired, you should look for something that gives off a smoky scent like a bonfire or birch or cedar. You really can’t go wrong with either choice.
5. Knit pumpkins
One of the cutest decor pieces for fall are definitely all the different forms that pumpkins come in. One of the more popular options, and also one of the coziest, are the knit pumpkins that you can buy.
They typically range in size and color, depending on how you want to use them to decorate. For the kitchen, there are a few options. Two popular options are to buy a few small ones in either have them in a decorative bowl or add them as part of your table centerpiece.
6. Bowl of apples
This may seem like such a basic decor piece, but that’s okay! You don’t have to go above and beyond to bring the feeling of fall into your own home. Apples and apple-flavored items are such a staple of fall, it would be silly not to include something like this on the list.
This is also a perfect excuse to go apple-picking, a really fun fall activity that you can do with your whole family. This can easily be placed on your kitchen counter, where you can be reminded of your trip!
7. Real pumpkins, squashes, and other gourds
If we’re talking about fall fruits, we can’t forget about all the gourds, especially pumpkins. These are also such a popular staple that screams fall vibes. They’re almost a need-to-have.
Even if carving pumpkins aren’t your thing, you can still incorporate different gourds in your kitchen decor. You could put together a few smaller ones and place them on your table for the perfect fall table centerpiece.
8. Cornucopia
One of the most stunning table centerpieces has to be a cornucopia. It’s typically a large wicker basket in a particular shape that’s filled with an array of flowers, fruits, vegetables, and more fall-related items.
Even though they are usually more associated with the Thanksgiving holiday, it can definitely act as the perfect fall decoration for your kitchen. And plus, if you put all that hard work into arranging something like this, you will absolutely want to use it for more than one or two days!
9. Fall tea towels
If we look at the harder areas of the kitchen to decorate, the stove area is definitely up there. You don’t want to add too many items to this space because you need it to be clean and ready to cook. You don’t want to be taking items on and off a few times a day just so you can prepare food.
The best way to add some fall vibes to your stove area is by adding some cute fall-inspired tea towels. They come in such a wide range of colors and designs, and you should choose what color scheme works best for your kitchen. But some great advice is that if you actually want to use these, you should opt for a darker color as it’s much harder to see any unwanted stains.
10. Acorns
Another nature-related fall decor piece you could easily add to your space are acorns. They’re such an underrated part of fall that goes perfectly with any part of your kitchen decor.
Like so many other items on this list, you could pair it with other pieces, like adding some acorns to your table centerpiece or even placing a few around your kitchen, just like the pumpkins. But I would make sure you place at least a pair at a time so it doesn’t look like you just accidentally left an acorn laying around.
11. Fall-colored containers
This seems a little bit vague, but let me explain. This is a really easy way to add a touch of fall to your kitchen without breaking the bank. You could go and buy fall-themed containers for something like your coffee station, or you could grab some red, orange, and yellow paint and some mason jars and start painting.
This could also double as a cute activity for your kids! You could add something you need in these containers, like the aforementioned coffee items like sugar, or you could just add them as a decor piece – your choice!
12. Fall mugs
Nothing says cozy quite like drinking your coffee out of a large mug on a breezy fall morning. Another way that you can make your kitchen feel like autumn is by having fall-related mugs. You could go with the typical color scheme by grabbing a few that are orange, red, brown, or yellow. Or you could get cutesy with it and grab a pumpkin-shaped mug. Choose whatever goes with your fall vibe.
13. Deck your coffee station out
Now that you added some cute fall-inspired mugs above, another way to keep the fall vibes going with your morning coffee is to also decorate your coffee station. You don’t have to go all out, but adding a decor piece or two can really help set the mood. You could go with certain patterns, like adding a plaid tray to place any of your coffee items on, or you could add a small pumpkin or two to the area. Whatever fits your theme, better, go with that!
14. Baked goods
This has to be one of the best parts about fall – all the delicious baked goods that are made specifically at this time. A great way to add a touch of fall to your kitchen is just by having a selection of yummy baked goods that are popular at this time. Some fan favorites are definitely apple fritters, apple cider donuts, pumpkin spice bread, and more. It’s the perfect excuse to satisfy your sweet tooth in the name of home decor.
15. Farmhouse style
One decor style that really lends itself to the fall season is the farmhouse style. And if you know home decor, you know this is a super popular way to decorate your home right now. Adding pieces of the farmhouse style will definitely help bring your kitchen into fall. This theme emphasizes more natural materials and colors. You can easily add a little bit of fall by adding more wooden decor pieces or focusing on the colors such as burgundy or brown.
16. Halloween decor
What would fall be without one of the best holidays of the year? There’s a lot of people who celebrate Halloween all year-round, but fall is definitely the time when most people feel comfortable with starting to decorate for it. There’s so many options and styles for your own Halloween decor.
A few popular theme choices include scary movies, 90s-style Halloween, cutesy, Disney, and so much more. From your table to your coffee station, you can incorporate elements of whatever fits your own style.
17. Thanksgiving decor
Not to be forgotten, Thanksgiving comes right behind Halloween on the calendar. It’s also a great holiday to base your kitchen decor on as well. It’s also easier to get away with decorating for this earlier as well if you’re not a big Halloween person.
A lot of Thanksgiving decor can also be considered overall fall decor, as opposed to spooky Halloween decor. The cornucopia we discussed earlier would be a perfect table centerpiece as mentioned above that you could absolutely add earlier than November.
