After months of summer sun, we’re feeling ready to start transitioning to that fresh, crisp air of fall. Nothing excites us more than the idea of a turtleneck or flipping up the collar of a trench coat as the briskness make our cheeks rosy and the leaves crunch under our feet. Are you feeling it? But besides the fashion, our favorite part of any new season is switching up our homes to embrace the temperature shift. Now is the time to drape your sofa or statement chair with a chunky knit throw, swap your flowers for cherry blossom branches, and light candles and lamps to embrace the moody change. If you’re feeling the urge to switch things up too, we’ve found some of the best fall décor to get you started—and it’s all under $100!
Whether you’re turning your bedroom into a cocoon of cozy or simply trading out a few pieces to welcome in texture and warmth for the cooler months ahead, we have something to elevate every room in the house. Keep reading for our favorite affordable fall décor picks from some of our favorite stores.
