Fall Entry Decor Ideas: Create a Cozy Atmosphere
Looking for inspiring fall decor ideas for your entry? Learn how to update your entry with cozy, moody decor for a welcoming look. As autumn approaches, I always enjoy sprucing up our small entryway with warm, seasonal decor.
This post is about fall entry decor ideas for your home.
Okay, it’s true, I do not really have an entryway. I have a front door that walks into a small area with a closet. There is no room for a console table or a bench in the entry.
By strategically placing a stylish console table just outside the entrance and a cozy bench a few steps away, I was able to create a welcoming and complete entry. These two well-placed pieces of furniture not only add functionality to the space but also enhance its aesthetic appeal. Now, the entryway is an excellent spot to include some fall decor ideas.
The console table provides a convenient surface to place keys, mail, or other items upon entering or leaving the house. The bench offers a comfortable spot to sit down and remove or put on shoes. The combination of these two pieces creates a functional yet stylish space that sets the tone for the rest of the home.
Fresh Ideas For Your Fall Entry Decor
After months of searching, I was able to find a great deal on an entry table that provides ample storage space. My goal was to relocate my junk drawer, which everyone has, to this area. It was also important to have a designated spot for keys and chargers. I found this table on sale at Wayfair, and although it’s not the highest quality, I am very happy with how it looks in my home so far.
What to place above an entry or console table
When you have an entryway or console table, one styling tip is to add a mirror or a piece of art. A mirror is a great option for that one last check before leaving the house, but they can often be quite expensive. I was determined to find a budget-friendly mirror that fit my style. After some searching, I found the perfect arch mirror on Amazon, which was exactly what I had been looking for.
It just happened to come in when I started coming up with my fall entry decor items, and this was immediately added to the list, although it will stick around for all seasons!
In any home, particularly in smaller ones, mirrors reflect light and can create the illusion of a larger space. The addition of a new black-trimmed arch mirror has completely transformed the appearance of our entryway. You can see the significant difference by comparing it to our first entryway makeover.
Fall Entryway Table Decor Ideas
During the fall season, adding warmer, earthier tones to a room can help create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in your entry. I recently added some darker fern stems to my existing white cachepot, which I found at Michaels’. It was surprising how realistic they looked once displayed. In this case, I used five stems. And they were on sale; how I love a good deal!
Afterward, I decided to include some artwork in this space. I found this antique brass frame at HomeSense, purchased the fall print from North Prints, and had it printed as an 8X10. The total cost was under $20. The antique brass and black metal combination is stunning. It adds a unique touch to the space.
To give the tabletop balance, I added two coffee table books. Using coffee table books as risers is a great idea when the height you are looking for is not quite there. Coffee table books also bring in some color, so I chose browns and blacks for the fall season. You can see how the fall colors in the books matched other decor items, like the print.
Final Touches in Fall Entry Decor
To complete the look, I added a beautiful scented candle in a sleek black holder from Bouclair. The holder added a touch of sophistication to the ambiance of the room. I also included an antique brass snuffer to complement the frame, which I purchased from Amazon. The snuffer was an excellent addition to the overall accessorizing.
This console features a bottom shelf, which can be used to add storage. I chose a brown wicker basket and added a throw to the basket to give it some warmth and texture. I had purchased the blanket at Home Sense a while back, and I was going to give it away, and this idea came to mind. You never know when you can reuse the decor you already have in your home.
Overall, the console table is a great adder to both our entry and our living room. It has become a functional and now beautiful piece in our home.
