1. Feature Cozy RecipesFall recipes are some of our favorites (yes to everything pumpkin), and you can display some of your beloved dishes on your kitchen wall. First, pick a fall family recipe that’s close to your heart. Then attach letter stickers ($4, Amazon) to a white canvas or try hand-lettering them yourself.

2. String Together Pom-PomsWhile it’s sweater season, it's only appropriate to embrace plush, cozy fall wall decor, too. Make this garland in warm autumn shades by crafting pom-poms from yarn or purchasing them ($8, Walmart). String them together, then showcase your garland above a bed or along a mantel.

3. Create a Classic WreathYou can’t go wrong with a classic, and that includes a timeless fall wreath. Whether used to dress up your front door or fill a blank spot on your living room wall, wreaths are surprisingly easy to make. Start with a grapevine form (here, we used natural branches), then weave in authentic or faux florals ($10, Amazon) with hot glue or floral wire.

4. Play with WordsLet everyone know that fall is your favorite season through your wall decor. Choose a quote that warmly reminds you of the season and create or purchase art that showcases the phrase. We love this one from Anne of Green Gables ($151, Oh Sweet Skye). Hang it above a small table, buffet, or credenza, then finish the look with your best fall pieces—leafy branches, pumpkin garland, and gourds galore.

5. Utilize Scraps of FabricTo showcase your fall wall decor, purchase embroidery hoops in varying sizes ($4.50, Michaels) and use them to frame patterned fabric in autumnal hues. Add mini hoops or buttons to create a dimensional gallery wall. Hang them above a bed for a joyful burst of fall color.

6. Display Flea Market FindsFlea market treasures work well as decor all year long, but there’s something about those well-loved finishes that lend themself to fall. Hang a large, salvaged sign on the wall, pair it with a seasonal wreath, and push the look even further with a few found architectural pieces. A few vibrant gourds under an antique cloche complete the vignette.

7. Spell It OutThis DIY project can be dressed up for fall but will work all year long. Paint a cutting board with chalkboard paint and use it as fall wall art. It’ll look spot-on for the season with berry branches and an autumnal greeting like “Happy Fall.” Hang it from a peg in your entryway or laundry room to bring some fall appeal to otherwise utilitarian areas.
