I love to add subtle seasonal touches to every room in the house. And the kitchen is no different. But I don’t want cluttered countertops or lots of stuff I need to move out of the way when I’m working in the kitchen. So, I’m sharing how I love to add fall without adding clutter!
It can be as simple as lighting a candle or adding some new salad plates to the rotation. But I hope you walk away inspired to add a little autumnal decor to your kitchen and dining room.
10 Fall Season Ideas for Your Kitchen
1. Dress for Thanksgiving or any Fall Occasion
First of all, if you’re hosting something in the kitchen for fall, like Thanksgiving, or a bridal shower, brunch or baby shower, I have some great budget-friendly dress ideas for you! Last year I found the one in the photo below and loved it! It’s sold out now, but I’m found some equally beautiful fall dresses right here!

2. Fall-Scented Candle in the Kitchen
There’s nothing better than a candle in the kitchen to cover up certain food scents and to make everyone feel cozy and at home. I like to stick with scents you could find in the kitchen, like pumpkin spice, but any fall scent will do the trick!

3. Use Fall-inspired Tableware
One way to add a touch of fall to your kitchen is by using fall-inspired tableware. You can use plates, cups, and mugs with fall colors like orange, brown, yellow and green.
My biggest time to decorate for a new season without changing out everything is to swap out your salad plates (similar to mine). Keep the neutral chargers and dinner plates and simply change out a smaller plate, bowl or serving dish.
Add some colorful napkins and tablecloths with fall patterns to complete the look. Your family and guests will feel cozy and welcome during mealtime.

4. Orange Fall Leaf Branches in a Vase on the Kitchen Island
If you have a kitchen island, it’s so easy to keep a bowl or tray filled with white pumpkins and fall leaves in a vase or jar for decor. Then move it aside when you need to use the space. I love how mine adds some simple charm to the kitchen without being in the way!
5. Add Seasonal Linens
Linens like tablecloths, placemats, kitchen towels and cloth napkins in warm colors like rust, plum, avocado and marigolds are the perfect way to dress up a table for fall without being cutesy.
6. Incorporate Wood Tones
Wood is a perfect material to bring the fall mood to your kitchen. You can add wood décor elements such as cutting boards, utensils and bowls of pine cones, acorns and wooden faux pumpkins.
You can also bring in some wooden furniture pieces such as a wooden stool or a dining table. The warmth of the wood element will make your kitchen feel inviting and cozy.
7. Fall Coffee Station Decor
Grab some neutral or fall-colored mugs to dress up your coffee station. I love to keep it neutral with a colorful mug, or a pumpkin-shaped mug would be fun, too! Copper mugs would be a perfect neutral, yet seasonal touch, too!
8. Fall Open Kitchen Shelving Decor
If you have open shelves in your kitchen, decorating them for fall means warm colors, fall stems and lots of wood finishes! Use cutting boards and wood rolling pins for the right look for a simple fall kitchen.
9. Display Autumn Fruits and Vegetables
Early fall is the season for harvest, and there are plenty of fruits and vegetables that make perfect kitchen décor items. You can display bowls of apples, pears, and berries on your kitchen counter.
You can also hang some dried corn or mini gourds in a garland on your kitchen wall. These simple touches will add a bit of nature-inspired décor to your kitchen.
I love to display a bowl of faux artichokes in the dining room all year long, but especially seems fitting in autumn!
10. Amber Tones
Add some beautiful flowers or fall stems with amber tones to the kitchen in a vase. What better way to cook than with pretty fall foliage or fresh flowers?
I have had these wheat bundles in my decor stash for years and they are a perfect addition to a table, counter or hood mantel every fall.
Final Thoughts
Whether you choose to incorporate wooden elements, pumpkins, gourds or autumn fruits and vegetables, there are countless ways to add some fall decor and accessories to your kitchen.
These simple decorating ideas are sure to make your kitchen feel cozy, warm, and inviting. I hope these inspirations will encourage you to get creative and bring the fall vibes into your kitchen.

Where did you find the bar stools with the wooden tops? Very cute!
Hi Mindy – those can be found here— https://rstyle.me/+Nu-nYna-ova-TA7REWauxQ. It doesn’t look like they currently have the white stools with wood tops in stock in the bar stool size, but they have them in the counter-height size. They have other colors with wood tops, though! Happy shopping!

I love all of your decorating and I’d love to know where you got your kitchen shelves. I’ve seen some similar to those but not quite the same.

Thanks for keeping it real and sharing behind the scenes! You look great and I would love to come in for coffee! Thanks for sharing your fall home tour.
You look terrific, despite all that was going on behind the scenes! My kids are out of school, but I’m sure their teachers would have loved a break from lunch duty! Your house is beautiful as always! I remember you talking a while back about painting your front door and having to have the color approved by the HMA, but I must have missed when you actually painted it, what color is it? Whatever it is, it looks nice!
I LOVE your behind-the-scenes secrets, haha! You are hilarious! Maybe this is why my house (and I!) don’t look Pinterest Perfect all day every day???!? A little real life going on? 😉 The half-finished nail polish is the best! All that and you still look pretty and welcoming. 😊
Your home is beautiful! I LOVE the simpler kitchen shelves- SO pretty! All that wood and the
printables… lovely. I always like the way you get a lot of greenery into your decor. I love it in mine too! I’m off the check on those trees at your front door now…
Happy fall!
Thank you for sharing your home with us! Everything looks fabulous, as usual, and so do you. Happy Fall y’all!
Love the blue dishes! Such a fall color!
