The style of the autumn home is coveted for being a total sensorial feast. The smell of fresh-baked aromas emanating from the oven, the feel of furry, fleecy textiles under your feet and seat, and the sight of crackling fires, golden leaves, and loved ones gathered around your dinner table are just a few of the many, many reasons to love this season.

Bring all of your favorite features of fall home by setting the table with style, layering on the cozy knits, lighting a few candles, and swapping out summer's bright hues for the more romantically muted tones of autumn. Here are 25 fall decor ideas to get you inspired to live the season to its fullest.
