By I know, I know. Fall and anything and everything pumpkin spice is basic in all senses of the word. I can smell the Instagram posts from here — everyone in their plaid prints, knee high boots, and neck scarves; apple cider, pumpkin spice…oh, and we can’t forget the burgundy nails! But in all seriousness, fall vibes are so beautiful and relaxing to bring rejuvenation to your home — especially while battling a global pandemic. Here are five fun ways to spice up your home this fall by bringing in some pumpkin spice magic to your life.
Welcome in Scents
One easy way to add fall vibes to your home is to add an exclusive fall scent. The original place to grab fall One easy way to add Fall vibes to your home, is to add an exclusive Fall scent.

Target also has amazing scents from the Hearth and Hand’s collection. From candles to room sprays, there are invigorating and subtle scents that can capture the essence of fall and bring it to your home.
Add Greenery
Greenery is a wonderful addition to your home. No, not greenery like your pandemic plants — which by the way, here’s a reminder to check on those little guys. Adding garlands and a wreath or two, with the right colors from rustic oranges, a rose, or dusty blues, can elevate your home to bring a cozy ambiance. Garlands and wreaths help bring the outdoors inside, and can really tie a room together. Color-wise, you don’t have to stay with the typical burgandy and orange; you can play with neutrals to help set up your home to reflect your personality more while still introducing warm and cozy vibes.
Toss Pillows and Throws
Speaking of warm and cozy, what’s a spiced-up home without some throw pillows and blankets? Touching up your couch or even bedroom with some fun plaid prints, or basic pumpkin prints adds the perfect amount of fall to your home. Revamping your living space can give you some clarity because it’ll feel brand new. It’s a good and simple kind of change to help with your environment, and can even support your mental health. It can be subtle or in-your-face; there’s so many options to choose from.
decorate with tiny pumpkins
You can’t have those pumpkin spice vibes without the pumpkins. For an easy and subtle feel to adding fall to your home, smaller size pumpkins really add a sweet and cute touch without overwhelming your home. Small pumpkins are cute, convenient, easy to view, and a fun way to bring the joy of fall to your home.
Treat Yourself to Tasty Treats
To all my foodies, this one is for you. Did you know there’s more fall goodies than pumpkin spice lattes to look forward to this season? Yep, there’s more to indulge in other than a pumpkin-flavored coffee in the morning. There’s no harm hitting up your local Trader Joe’s and grabbing a few yummy pumpkin goodies. Although so many items are debatably questionable, there’s some really great finds worth trying! No, not the pumpkin hummus; we’re not even going to talk about that. Maybe if we ignore it, it’ll go away…forever.
Consider trying:
- Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll
- Pumpkin Cream Cheese
- Butternut Squash Pumpkin Pasta Sauce
I get it — not everyone is into fall. For some, fall is a time of mourning summer…but who said you can’t mourn with a cup of a pumpkin spice latte from your local coffee shop. Add neutrals, some reds, cozy up with a good book in your plaid blanket throw, and light that pumpkin spice candle. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying the little things in life. No matter how basic, or how others may perceive it, if it makes you happy and isn’t harming anyone then, embrace the basic-ness of fall in all of its glory. Go ahead, spice up your life!
