14 Of The Most Beautiful Fall Decorating Ideas We've Seen From Joanna Gaines

There is just something magical about fall that makes you excited to see it return every year. Why not celebrate the season by decorating your home in ways that invite fall elements to stay indoors with you for a while? There are a lot of avenues to explore that celebrate the beautiful colors, the harvest, or just the peace and coziness the season brings. However, this can make it somewhat difficult to decide on the right design idea for your home. 

Thankfully, if you start feeling overwhelmed, specialists like Joanna Gaines also love the season and know how to celebrate in style. She and her team have plenty of decor ideas that make sure your home isn't overwhelmed by fall themes, but embraces them perfectly. Wreaths, plaid, vintage farm equipment, and mirrors are just some of the ways this star suggests embracing the season. The list features a mix of not only things Joanna Gaines herself has said or decorated with for the holidays, but also decor from her online Magnolia fall collection.

One easy way to add a bit of a fall theme to your space is by incorporating a wreath or two. There is always the classic option of hanging one on your front door, but you can also place one in your home, as a centerpiece, wall decor, or above your fireplace. For the best look, keep it simple and choose muted fall colors. Joanna Gaines even has some great options through her company if you want to find the perfect one. For example, you can find the Magnolia Rusted Eucalyptus Wreath on Target.

Woven baskets and vases, no matter what material it is made from, feel like fall. It brings forth the memories of harvests and family. It also helps break up textures in your home and adds some natural elements. These baskets are a great addition to fall decor, but they are also perfect for the rest of the year. You can make a decoration that lasts all year long by replacing what is in the vase or basket from time to time.

Joanna Gaines loves to add artificial and dried plants to any decor theme. Her shop is usually filled with options like faux daisies and bouquets, but you can also find an alternative that replicates her style. For more of a fall feeling, focus on finding grasses and florals commonly found during this season. The GTIDEA Artificial Fall Flowers on Amazon is a great option, offering different textures, heights, and colors while maintaining the fall vibe. To better match the master decorator herself, check out the faux plants Joanna Gaines is using in her fall arrangements. 

Where gingham feels more like spring and colorful blooms, plaid fits fall best. It is a perfect pattern, especially if you find it in classic fall colors. It gives you a rustic cabin feel, while still feeling modern and fresh. This texture can go on pretty much anything, including blankets, pillows, table runners, rugs, bench seats, and more. It was an outdated interior design trend that's now making a comeback with a modern upgrade, and it certainly feels refreshed, especially the plaid napkins and blankets in the Magnolia line. 

Joanna Gaines enjoys a nice and casual fall candle while working at home, as it can help immerse you in the season. Though scented candles certainly bring you decorations together, you don't have to limit yourself to that. Classic candles, decorative, fall-colored, and vintage candle containers are all great options. You don't even have to light them, though having lit candles in the evening definitely sets a cozy mood. To be safe, you can opt for Magnolia's LED Flameless Taper Candles on Target, available in fall colors.

Mirrors are another decor item that can really improve a space during the fall (that Joanna loves). They help to make an area feel bigger and highlight areas in your home that might otherwise be dark or overlooked. Changing out your normal mirror for one a little more fall-themed can really tie everything together this season. This can include distressed wood, vintage designs, copper colors, and bronze and gold. However, you can also enhance a mirror you already have by adding fall-colored foliage, ribbons, or surrounding it with autumn photos can help set the theme and enhance your mirror.

The fall season is all about being cozy and comfortable, and there's no better way to do that in your living room than to include throw blankets and big pillows. You can go with pretty much any type of cozy blanket that will look good in every room in your home, but try to aim for fall colors or neutrals to match the rest of your decorations. Even in her own home, Joanna Gaines places throw blankets around her house during the holidays at the end of the year. 

On her Instagram, Joanna Gaines discussed how she enjoys changing up the plants she highlights in her planters sitting inside and around her home. While the faux ones are nice, having a few real options can add a bit of life to the place. You can use standard green indoor plants, but ones with shades like burgundy really make a difference and complement the season's charm. You can also check out the best fall flowers to plant in pots to give you an idea of what will grow during this season, and the colors available to you.

Adjusting your gallery wall to match the seasons is such an underrated way to decorate your home. There is a simple way Joanna Gaines uses a gallery wall to welcome the fall season, and it involves hanging autumn artwork, vintage designs, and distinctly fall-themed pieces. They don't have to be of obvious images like leaves or pumpkins. You can just find ones that you enjoy and think will fit your decorations as well. It can be daunting to pick from many different images, but it really comes down to finding pieces that bring you joy. 

Simmer pots are a lot like candles. They contain a mix of spices, herbs, and plants, usually dried. When you want to introduce beautiful scents into your home, you pour these ingredients into a pot of water and simmer them on the stove. Also, like candles, the container commercial ones come in can also act as a fall decoration until you use them. Joanne Gaines' Magnolia store offers a few options, like the Forest Hearth Stovetop Simmer, but you can also make your own.

Table runners are a fun decor to have at any time of the year, but they work especially well in the fall. By using autumn colors, you can bring your table into the holiday decorations, especially when topped with fall-themed centerpieces. The Magnolia store has plenty of options to give you a starting point. Don't worry, it's not hard to decorate with table runners. If something isn't working quite right, just move around pieces and play with different heights and textures until you find a setting you like. 

Of course, it can't really be fall without pumpkins lying around. They're simple to use and, as Joanna Gaines shows, it's so easy to add a festive touch of fall to your porch by just placing a few around. You can choose to use real ones or go for realistic artificial options, depending on what you can find in your area. To get the best look, try using different sizes, colors, and shapes. Additionally, you can throw in a few non-pumpkin squashes, like butternut or kabocha, to enhance the design. This look goes great on the porch or somewhere inside your home.

Fall is closely related to harvests and farming. Using vintage farming equipment and tools can help to bring in the feel of the season. For example, old milk jugs and buckets are a perfect decoration to set outside. You can preserve the color of your dried fall leaves for decor that really pops and stands out against your vintage pieces. These do particularly well outside, but with the farmhouse kitchen design from Joanna Gaines coming back into style, they could also find a place in your home.

Glass cloches involve a dome of glass that you then set over objects. For example, the clear cloche glass dome by MyGift on Amazon comes with a dark wood base and a nice handle on top. While they work to protect decorations and prevent dust, they can also do their own part as decor pieces in your home. For Joanna Gaines, these decorations are a little more targeted towards Halloween than fall, but glass cloches are easy to adjust to your needs. Just place pumpkins, autumn foliage, candles, and antique books underneath.
