These fall bedroom decor ideas will give you the inspiration you need to make your space cozy and comforting just in time for the fall season!
As the cooler weather approaches and the leaves begin to change, it’s the perfect opportunity to start transitioning your bedroom decor to match the cozy vibes of fall.
Fall decor is all about embracing warmth and coziness by bringing in new textures, richer colors, and layers. Whether you’re looking to add some warm, fall colors or incorporate seasonal accents, there are plenty of ways to infuse these fall bedroom decor ideas into your own master bedroom.
1. Bring in Fall Colors
To create a cozy feel, bring in fall shades of deep burgundy, rusty orange, and mustard yellow, as well as richer wood tones. If those shades aren’t your style, consider deep jewel tones like navy blues or deep emerald greens for a similar cozy effect.
These colors are perfect for creating a warm and inviting bedroom that is ideal for snuggling up in the cooler months. They evoke the beauty of the changing leaves and the serene outdoor scenery that fall is known for.
It’s also easy to incorporate warm neutrals like taupe, chocolate brown, and cream that mimic the natural elements of fall. These immediately make a bedroom feel more calm and cozy. I love having this fall color scheme in the background with the reds and oranges as accents.
By utilizing different colors, you can easily create a bedroom that is perfect for the season. Whether you choose more traditional fall colors or warm neutrals, your bedroom will be cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind.
2. Switch Up Your Pillows
If you’re looking for one quick and inexpensive way to decorate for the fall season, start with your throw pillows. I like to keep the majority of my pillows pretty neutral so that it’s easy to just switch up an accent pillow with each season.
For fall, I love to bring in cozy textures like sherpa in shades of cream, caramel, or chocolate, or I’ll find a plain pillow with a pretty fringe detail. Of course, a patterned pillow with those beautiful fall colors we all love is also a guaranteed winner!
Running out of storage space for all those extra pillows off-season? Try what I do—buy pillow covers! They’re easy to fold away in a drawer when not in use.

3. Add Throw Blankets
Nothing says fall quite like a chunky throw draped across a chair or laying across the end of your bed. So once the cooler autumn air hits, add more layers and cozy blankets to your bed.
Chunky knits, wool blends, and heavier fabrics in rich shades of brown or beige will add both coziness and color to your room. Looking to add contrast to your space? A fun throw blanket can do the trick by adding a subtle pop of interest!
4. Swap out Your Bedding
While you can definitely transform your fall bedroom into the perfect place to get cozy without having to change all of your bedding, updating your bedding is a quick way to give your room a fall-ready feel.
Whether you have a quilt or comforter, you can swap it out for a mustard yellow, deep orange, or other similar fall color when the autumn season is around. Quilts are a timeless addition to any bedding ensemble. They provide warmth and are a great way to stay cozy this fall.
A comforter on the other hand is a classic bedding staple that provides style. Choose a comforter in a neutral color like white, beige, or gray for a timeless look, or opt for a bold color or pattern to add some personality to your space. You can also mix and match different textures into your bedding by being mindful of the colors and layers.
5. Layer in More Texture
If your goal is to create a cozy atmosphere, incorporating some different textures into your decor can be one of the best ways to go from summer to fall, all while adding interested and dimension.
Consider adding rattan boxes to your nightstand, a hobnail candle jar, wooden links, or even a wooden stool or bench next to your bed.
6. Add Ambiance with Candles & Lighting
Candles are another great way to add warmth and a cozy fall feel to your bedroom decor. They create a soft and relaxing atmosphere that makes you just want to cozy up with a good book.
A scented candle on a nightstand not only looks pretty but makes for the perfect spot to cozy up with a book. Plus, fall-inspired scents really bring the autumn spirit into your home.
I personally love using a candle warmer lamp,; it gives me the scent and warm glow of a candle without the worry of an open flame.
Layering lighting in your bedroom is another way to add that cozy factor, especially as the days grow shorter. Incorporate table lamps, sconces, and floor lamps to create the perfect ambiance.
7. Hang Fall Themed Wall Art
Consider adding some simple seasonal art for another quick way to add a touch of fall to your bedroom decor. Art above the bed always looks good, no matter the season.
Whether you prefer traditional autumnal colors or something a little more modern, there are plenty of options out there to choose from.
One popular choice is to hang a large canvas print featuring a fall landscape or scene. This can instantly add warmth and coziness to your space, and make you feel like you’re surrounded by autumn hues. Or, you could opt for a few smaller prints to create a gallery wall that showcases your favorite fall-themed artwork.
8. Update Your Bedroom Rug
An easy way to make a simple change to your room for fall is to switch up your bedroom rug. Focus on adding texture or incorporating those richer fall colors with faux fur rugs, shag rugs, a patterned wool rug, or even jute.
When choosing a rug for your bedroom, make sure to consider the size and shape of your space. A small rug may get lost in a large room, while a large rug may overwhelm a small space.
9. Bring the Outside In
No matter the season, I love to have a nod to the outdoors inside my home at all times. Natural fall decor is the ultimate free decor for your home!
For fall bedroom decor, a small vase filled with fresh flowers from your garden is always a welcome touch—dried hydrangeas or sedum make the perfect nod to the season.
Looking to make more of a statement? Clip some branches from your yard and display them in a large vase on your dresser or nightstand.
Of course, faux branches are acceptable, too!
10. Swap out Window Treatments
This fall decor idea may require just a little more energy than some other ideas, but it will take center stage within your fall bedroom decor. Swap out your lightweight summer curtains for some thicker, richer fabrics—velvet would be amazing!
This will provide a warm shade to the room that will reflect all of your bedroom decor in a new way.
11. Sprinkle in Pumpkins
Without going overboard, strategically place pumpkins throughout the room—either in small glass bowls, stacked on top of each other, or incorporated into your wreath. You can also style cute pumpkin pillows on your fall bedding.
A white pumpkin works perfectly in a modern home because it’s a neutral color that pairs well with a variety of other pieces. I love using larger faux pumpkins as subtle accents on the nightstand or in a decorative basket.
Final Thoughts
I truly hope that you have found some inspiration and ideas for the perfect cozy bedroom this fall. Remember, achieving a cozy look doesn’t require a big budget!

Whether you prefer a rustic, farmhouse style or a more modern, minimalist home, there are plenty of ways to make your bedroom feel cozy and inviting this fall.
