9 Quick & Easy Ways to Find Fall Inspiration
We’re excited to share 9 quick and easy ways to find Fall inspiration today!
When it comes to Fall, I’ve noticed people are usually in one of two camps.
They’re either “I’m so ready for Fall, I’m breaking out the pumpkins already!”
OR
“I’m hanging onto summer so tight, I’m not even thinking about Fall.”
Which camp are you in?
I’ll admit we’re definitely ready for Fall this year.
I think it’s partly because our Fall season is usually interrupted by tropical storms or hurricanes.
So, we try to stretch it out as long as possible.
Planning for Fall…
No matter what camp you find yourself in, now is a great time to at least start thinking about and planning for the upcoming Fall season.
Let’s face it, we’ve probably all wished we would have made decorating our porch, front door, entry, dining table, or mantel a priority, but somehow, we just couldn’t make it happen.
If you’re shaking your head yes right now, can we make a pact that we’re not going to do that this year?
Fall inspiration is all around us right now.
So, take a break from the rush of all things back to school and find something that makes you excited about the upcoming season.
Here’s a look at 9 quick and easy ways to find Fall inspiration.
9 Quick and Easy Ways to Find Fall Inspiration…
Find Fall Inspiration on Your Favorite Blogs
Whether you realize it or not, bloggers and social media influencers have been behind the scenes for months planning out content and getting ready for Fall.
It’s one of our busiest seasons of the entire year.
There will be lots of fabulous Fall home tours, craft projects, decorating ideas, and baked goods to explore.
So, make sure you’re following your favorites on social media and subscribing to their emails and newsletters.
It’s the best way to “be in the know” and to stay connected for all the latest Fall decorating and project ideas.
I’m sure you have a Pinterest account by now, but do you have your seasonal boards organized so you can find what you’re looking for?
If you don’t, now is a great time to create boards specifically for Fall.
It’s an easy way to keep all your ideas organized in one place, from porch tours to tablescapes to pumpkin projects and more!
Books, Magazines, and Catalogs Are Another Easy Way to Find Fall Inspiration
There’s nothing better than curling up with a good book, magazine, or your favorite catalogs to find decorating inspiration for the holidays.
My sisters and I have been flipping through magazines, sipping pumpkin-spiced lattes, and nibbling on pumpkin scones with our Mom, searching for inspo this time of year for as long as I can remember.
Give yourself some uninterrupted time to savor those titles you love most and get a game plan together.
Home Decor Stores, Craft Supply Stores, Etsy Shops and Local Boutiques
If you’ve been out shopping lately, you’ve likely seen shelves full of Fall and other seasonal décor items.
In fact, some stores are already putting out Christmas merchandise.
While it might seem way too early to start thinking about Christmas, now is a great time to pick up the items you’ll need to help bring your Fall or holiday vision to life.
Find Fall Inspiration at Seasonal Craft Fairs and Antique Shows
If you haven’t been to a big antique show like Fall in the Field at Renningers, plan to visit one this season.
A lot of vendors spend months creating seasonal vignettes, design spaces, and gift-giving ideas specifically for new and returning customers this time of year.
I’ve been going to Fall in the Fields and the Extravaganza at Renningers for years, and they always feel like such special events.
Thrift Stores and Dollar Stores…
Thrift stores and dollar stores are fantastic places to pick up seasonal craft items like faux pumpkins, metal pails, wreath forms, baskets, plaid throws, party supplies, glass jars, candy containers, and candles for budget-friendly prices.
Find Fall Inspiration From Seasonal Fabrics, Blankets and Pillows
If you feel stuck trying to pull all your Fall decorating ideas together, finding a piece of fabric, a cozy blanket, or a pillow you love can help give you the design nudge you need.
Then start decorating around the colors in that palette or use it to inspire the rest of your seasonal ideas.
Your Attic or Basement
You likely already have Fall décor in your attic or basement, so start there.
A wreath you put on the front door last year might look good on your mantel this year.
You don’t have to go out and buy all new things unless you want to.
Save time and money by building from the collection you already have at home.
Bonus, you can start decorating whenever you want.
Walk in Nature or Visit Local Florist Events, Plant Nurseries, or the Pumpkin Patch
Repeating the colors you see in nature in your home is a simple way to help achieve the feeling of warmth that comes with Fall.
Take an afternoon to visit your favorite florist, nursery, botanical garden, or enjoy a long walk outside.
You never know when a specific color combination, texture, or shape will spark a fabulous idea.
Given we only get to enjoy Fall once a year, now is a great time to start thinking about and planning all the things you want to celebrate.
Take an early morning, a lazy afternoon, or an entire day to get a game plan together.
That way, you’ll be able to enjoy the dividends all season long.
Let us know how you’re looking for quick and easy ways to find Fall decorating inspiration this year!

Only you could make Fall planning this easy. Thanks for the inspiration. I get stuck this time of year and always wind up scrambling.
You are so welcome, Sarah, sometimes I am scrambling too lady so don’t even sweat it! Just the fact you’re thinking about fall and planning for fall is a huge step. I’m proud of you! Hugs, CoCo
Great post CoCo! We’ve been out of town so much that we haven’t even caught our breath yet. Our temps are getting cooler which definitely makes us ready for all things Fall! Can’t wait to break out the pumpkins, gourds and apple cider!
After the hurricanes and all the tornado drama that happened with us last year, I say we live it up this fall! I’m right there with you ready for it all. Glad you guys are back in town and have settled back in. You’re in my heart every day. Hugs, CoCo
Not sure why I didn’t realize y’all would have hurricanes in the fall. Hmmm. Anyway, loved the ideas! Shared on my FB and pinned.
So sweet of you, Cindy, thank you! There have been many times we’ve had to pack up all those mums on the porch while trying to put up the hurricane shutters at the same time. It’s bananas! We’re definitely counting down the days until November 1st when the season ends. Big hugs and thanks so much for sharing, CoCo
Pinterest really is such a great resource for getting Fall decor inspiration… and I am so ready to decorate for Fall living in Arizona!
It is, Heidi! I’m always excited to see how others hot weather states decorate for Fall. Can’t wait to follow along on all your fabulous projects this year too. Hugs, CoCo
Fall is really ify in Florida. One year after I put all the decorations out, I was busy packing it and everything I could find up because of hurricanes. I find I can’t make fall arrangements to sell unless I decorate my house first.
I can totally relate to this too, Myrna! It’s so hard when you’re trying to prep for Fall but also have to stay mindful of all the coastal winds, heavy rains, storm surge, and flooding we have to deal with each year. Hopefully, it will be a relatively easy season and you’ll be able to decorate your house and sell a ton of beautiful arrangements. Hugs, CoCo
We’ve had such a horrible, wet Summer, for the first time ever, I’m looking forward to Fall. Great ideas, CoCo. Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ’s.
That is so exciting, Ann! It’s definitely been a wild year and a half so I’m totally on board with celebrating early and often this year as well. Hugs, CoCo
Loved this post CoCo, I’m a bit behind from commenting because of my vaccine.
I always love seeing your home
No worries at all, Cindy, thank you for getting the vaccine! The first dose wasn’t bad at all but the second one made me feel like I had the flu. Thankfully, it only lasted for about 48 hours. I know you have some additional health concerns so make sure to take extra care of yourself. Big hugs, CoCo
