Create A Cozy Home With Affordable Fall Decor Under $50
So in this post, I will share creative budget budget-friendly fall decor ideas under $50, to help you welcome the season without breaking the bank.
1. Festive Fall Wreath
The first thing your guests will probably see when they visit your place is your door or front yard, don’t you agree? So I think having seasonal decorations for fall, such as a festive fall wreath for your door is important. It shows that you are welcoming the fall season into your home. Not to mention, Fall would be the perfect time to decorate your home with festive decorations.
If you are into DIY projects, you can include a fall wreath as a creative DIY fall decor project. As I’m not a DIY person, I will skip this part haha. So if you are anything like me, you can shop for fall wreaths in stores such as Walmart, Amazon, or Marshall. Those store usually have a lot of good home decor on a budget.
I found this 20″ maple farmhouse fall wreath on Amazon for under $50 + 50% off
2. Cozy Throw Blanket
As the weather gets colder, there’s nothing better than wrapping yourself in a cozy throw blanket while watching your favorite movie. Also, a cozy throw blanket will add warmth to your space. Not to mention, having a throw blanket will add a fall vibe to the space. Opt for something like a knitted, fleece or sherpa-linen throw blanket.
I had this knitted throw blanket for over 2 years and still love it. It feels really soft and cozy.
3. Decorative Pumpkins
As we all probably know, pumpkins will always be the central element of fall decor. But having a real pumpkin can be expensive, especially if we can only use it only for once. So to make budget decorative pumpkins for fall, you can opt for mini pumpkin displays, pumpkin vases, or pumpkin candle holders. With that, you will save money as you can reuse the decorations for the next fall season.
4. Fall Scented Candles
Scented candles are affordable ways to bring fall into your home. Fall doesn’t feel like fall without your home smelling like it, right? Nothing sets the mood for fall without an inviting cozy scent like apple cinnamon, warm vanilla, or woodsy cedar and pine.
I liked this fall candle from Yankee Candle, I just bought another 2 to stock up, as I have been using it almost every day haha.
5. Seasonal Table Linens
Another budget-friendly way to bring fall into your home is by updating your tablecloth into something that screams “FALL”. Seasonal tablecloths can instantly transform your dining space. You can update your tablecloth with something rich in colors like deep reds, burnt oranges, or earthy browns and texture such as woven, linen, or burlap that celebrates Fall/Autumn.
6. Nature-Inspired Centerpiece
A nature-inspired centerpiece can bring warmth and charm to your dining table, coffee table, or mantel. The best part is you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a beautiful centerpiece. You can gather natural elements from your yard or nearby park. Generally, pinecones, branches, and colorful fall leaves are free and always available.
You can also create a centerpiece with fruit and vegetables like pumpkins, gourds, apples, or pears. Incorporating fruit and vegetables into your centerpiece can add pop out of color and texture. Try to put them in a bowl, basket, or a rustic wooden tray.
7. DIY Fall Decor Projects
There are plenty of DIY fall projects that are fun and affordable. If you are a DIY person, you probably want to create DIY fall decor to welcome the season. With a DIY project, you can make fall decor that reflects your personality while staying within your budget. For example, you can make pinecone vase filler by filling a clear vase with pinecones. Also, you can add some light inside the vase to make it pretty. For more ideas to create a DIY fall project, Pinterest is a great resource for budget-friendly project ideas.
8. Decorative Pillow
Decorative pillows are one of the easy affordable ways to bring the Fall season into your home. As you may already know, adding seasonal decorative pillows can change the atmosphere of your living space – making the living space more cozy and inviting.

My favorite way to save money for decorative pillows is by updating my pillow cover for the season. So in this case it will be a throw pillow cover for fall.
