Fall is approaching fast. Along with colder days and pumpkin spice lattes comes the task of decorating your home. To help inspire you to decorate your home for fall I’ve rounded up the best fall decor ideas this season. This season I’m keeping the decor light, bright, and chic because the only thing scarier than that haunted house your friends want to check out, is tacky fall home decor. Let’s forget the orange pumpkins and fake spiders, those 100% fall into the tacky category. Fresh cut greens, unique colored gourds, and even brightly painted pumpkins are totally chic choices that stand out in a good way. Why be tacky when you can be chic?

Minimalist Leafy Mantel

If you love minimalist decor then fresh cut eucalyptus and a row of tiny white pumpkins are all you need to recreate this chic mantel.

Why ruin a good thing?
