7 Must Have Items For Fall

To stay organized, I shop seasonally in seven categories. Here are my top seven Must-Have Items For Fall, some DIY projects, and other tips for decorating. In addition to scrolling online, this is a great time to look for fall décor at thrift stores. Many items that were pulled out of storage bins have now been donated or consigned.

Have you decorated for fall? Even if you have completely finished decorating, now is a great time to check out all the Fall Decor online. Many items are already on sale and you can update your Fall Decor with some really cute new items or save them for next year. In addition, now it a great time to check out all the Thrift Stores.

Pumpkins Are always a Must Have for Fall

Are you a fan of pumpkins, and if so, do you prefer real or faux? Although real pumpkins are great, they are expensive and last only a season. So here are some cute faux alternatives that you might love, and more than a few have been added to my must-have list.

# 2 Must Have – Fall Pillows

In addition to pumpkins, pillows are another favorite way to decorate for the fall season. Pillows are relatively inexpensive and add so much color to all areas of your home.

You can also find great pillow deals at thrift stores and consignment shops.

Best Tip: Check the filler if you see an ugly pillow for cheap. If it’s down-filled and in good condition, always snag it because you can add an inexpensive, cute pillow cover. Just use with the down pillow filler with the new pillow cover and discard the ugly pillow cover.

Fall Wreaths – Another Must Have

Did you know that some people only place wreaths on their doors at Christmas?

The wreath has become an almost permanent fixture on American doorfronts in recent years. It’s like a welcoming gesture to invite people to visit, and it’s # 3 of the 7 must-have items to make your home more inviting for fall. So here are some really gorgeous fall wreaths for you to drool over.

Another Thrift Store Tip: Even plain wreaths can be expensive, so if you are crafty, you may want to check out the base of those ugly wreaths. It would be a great deal if you could use the base and add pretty new floral or greenery.

Candles and Candleholders

Candles are another way to add warmth and keep your home smelling wonderful in the fall. Thrift stores offer great deals on brass, pewter, and wooden candlestick holders. They are great for adding color to mantels, coffee tables, and shelves.

One favorite way to display candles is to use a hurricane lantern and fill in around the candle with seasonal décor such as acorns or nuts for a fun display.
