Between football watch parties, cozy family dinners, trick-or-treating, Thanksgiving and other fall gatherings, your home will attract many friends and visitors. Make sure your home is ready to receive both invited and unexpected guests by making your entryway welcoming to all! Let’s maximize our fall décor with these expert tips.
Put your best fragrance forward
When guests arrive at your home, use fragrance to create a positive first impression. Autumn fragrances with notes like apple, cinnamon and brown sugar are warm and inviting, especially when it’s chilly outside. Consider matching your fragrance and décor. For example, pair Fall Into Love from our Harvest Collection with dried eucalyptus stems for a subtle nod to this fragrance’s cool undertone.
Pumpkin for the win
This symbol of the harvest season comes in many colors — orange, yellow, red, green, white — not to mention the range of textures, shapes and sizes. Play with the variety of options to make your décor eye-catching! Use real pumpkins on your porch and entry table for visual interest, or opt for pumpkin motifs in your décor. Items like the Harvest Bounty Warmer or Happy Jack Tabletop Fan Diffuser bring fragrance and pumpkin vibes to the table.
Better be-leaf it
Autumn leaves are not only iconic, they’re also easy to add to your décor. Take inspiration from our three simple autumn leaf crafts and make your own decorations! Or try making a pumpkin leaf garland using the template in this article. Stay on theme by adding our Cashmere Leaves fragrance into the mix. For nature-inspired décor with a bit of whimsy, place a Stunning Sunflower Fragrance Flower in locations where space is at a premium, like the mantel or bathroom counter — no outlet required.
But first: coffee tables
Once your guests have shed their coats and shoes, they’ll want to settle into the living room. Give your coffee table a glow up with streamlined décor that can easily be set aside to make room for board games or dessert plates. Try using a stack of hardcover books, a bowl of foraging finds (like pinecones or acorns) or a ceramic vase of autumn foliage. For instant charm and a touch of fragrance, display a soft and squishable Lumina Pumpkin Darling Décor on your coffee table.
