Every time you visit the outdoors, try to keep an eye out for natural elements such as acorns and dried berries and place them in trays.

10 DIY Living Room Fall Decor Ideas
1. Hand-lettered Tray Fall Decor
I recently visited a friend’s place and saw this exquisite hand-lettered tray, and you can also make a fall-inspired design or decoration tray at home as well. All you have to do is get a rustic tray and tracing paper with your favorite design or words and trace them on the tray. You can use calligraphy-style words for extra creativity. This will be a perfect statement piece for your autumn table top or the dining table, and it will definitely get you a lot of compliments.
2. Falling Leaves Decoration
This is one of my favorite fall DIY decors because it’s so simple and easy to implement, and if you want to change things around a little bit without any hassle, this quick decorating idea is for you. There is something about the maple leaf, it’s picturesque, timeless, and elegant, and you can bring these outdoor vibes into your living room by tying or sticking real or faux maple leaves on the ceiling, lamp, light fixtures, or just wherever you like. This fall idea is quick and transforms the entire look of your living room.
3. Make Wood Crate Centrepiece
This fall, get a wood crate and stun your guests by designing a captivating, well-layered fall centerpiece for your living room. Use the wood crate as the base and fill it with a mixture of natural materials such as pine cones, moss, flowers, branches, and vibrant leaves. You can collect them from your surroundings while exploring the outdoors for a personal touch. Let your creativity take the reins, and the result is going to be this magnetic centre piece that will capture the essence of the season.
4. Add DIY Dried Flower Wreath
Dried flowers, which have always been fairly popular during the festive season, are the trend right now. To create a stunning wreath, begin by getting dried branches, leaves, and flowers. Now place them in a wreath and weave them into the base to ensure that they stay in place. Start with the larger pieces and layer the smaller, delicate pieces on top. You can also stick dried fruits on top. This idea might take a bit of your time, but trust me when I say that the result is going to be so worth it.
5. Unique Gallery Wall
Don’t get me wrong, I love pictures of family, friends, and pets on the wall, but if you’re somebody like me who gets bored quickly, you will love this idea of a leaf gallery wall. Also, this one is actually quite easier to make than it looks. Start by collecting your favorite unique leaves from the backyard or the park and placing them between the pages of a thick book or between wax papers. Stack a pile of books over it, wait for a few days, and voila! Your leaves are ready, and you can frame them in fall theme frames and make a unique, memorable gallery in your living room. This is so aesthetically pleasing, minimalist, and gives off that autumn aura, which is perfect for this season.
6. Colorful Dried Flowers
Do you want to add a pop of vibrant color to your living room? Well, I have a perfect idea for you. Get some dried flora and fabric dye and infuse the florals with vibrant colors of your liking. You can also use spray paint for that extra texture and added layers. This will turn the colorful florals into eye-catching statement pieces in your living room. This floral arrangement is perfect for people who love flowers but don’t have the time and energy to take care of them since they stay bright and vibrant throughout the year.
7. DIY Pumpkin Vases
Celebrate the fall season by giving your autumn flowers a unique festive touch. Just get a mini pumpkin and carefully scoop out the inside of it, making space for our bouquet, and set the seeds aside. You can later roast these seeds for a delicious fall snack. This idea adds a seasonal touch to your living room and works as a perfect statement piece for your side table or fireplace. You can also make these vases as a fun activity with your partner and your kids and make some really good memories. So, are you ready to witness a fall with healthy, nutritious snacks and a unique vase?
8. Fall Terrariums
This is my favorite fall DIY activity, to the extent that it’s become a tradition to make these cute fall terrariums in my family. Can you believe it? They’re also super easy to make, and they always come out looking so opulent. All you need is a few dollar store supplies, some craft essentials, and glassware, and you can customize it according to your budget. You can layer your glassware with colorful sand or different kinds of moss, and then add your favorite fall decor miniature pieces. This is such an attractive, rustic statement piece that will look perfect as fall decor for your living room.
9. Pumpkin Table Planters
I love a good bright orange pumpkin, but the real ones, while charming, have a very limited time span, so the next best thing you can do is visit your local hardware store and purchase a few hanging baskets. Take out the chains, liners, and frames. Spray paint them with a shade of orange you like.
After the frames are dried, place one of them back in the basket and fill the basket with soil and your favorite plant. Now place the other frame over it, and your personal cutomized pumpkin is ready! This is such an innovative way to spice up your living room with that fall vibe.
10. Leaf-Print Napkin
Give your plain, boring white napkins an innovative personal touch with this creative, heartwarming maple leaf print napkin. Well, you can use any leaf, but since it’s fall season, I exclusively chose maple leaf. Start by applying a generous amount of fabric ink to the back of a leaf.
Press the inked side of the leaf onto the napkin steadily, and there you have it! A natural, unique impression of maple on your napkins. You can use a dry iron to set the ink permanently. This is such a fun DIY activity and a very charming way to impress your family, friends, and guests this fall.
