At The Cordelia, your creativity is encouraged and inspired. Here are some fun and easy ideas for decorating your apartment for the fall season!
Fall Decor You Need
Apartment living at The Cordelia means comfortable living. To make cozy spaces in your apartment, try some of these wonderful fall decor ideas that are easy to put up and take down.
Toadstool Doormat
A cute toadstool doormat isn’t too scary for the little ones in your neighborhood and still adds to the love of nature inspired by fall.
Plastic Pumpkins
Pumpkins are a fall classic, but leaving a real pumpkin outside your door can lead to bugs and rot. Try cute little plastic pumpkins for both outsides and inside the home. Cute jack-o-lanterns make great decorations!
Warm Scented Candles
Don’t just focus on the look of your apartment, but the smell! The delicious scent of vanilla or pumpkin spice is just what you need to bring the feeling of the cozy season inside.

A wreath is perfect to show that you’re embracing the fall season. It’s easy to make and install without leaving any damage or residue on your door.
Items You Will Need
- Pinecones
- Leaves and flowers of your choice
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue
- Gumballs
- A wreath base
First, you can purchase a wreath base for cheap at a thrift store or art supplies store.

First, glue leaves to the wreath and spread the other items around the wreath.
As a tip, arrange the items where you’d like them before gluing and taking a picture. This way, you can have everything in the right place before committing. Find a detailed guide on creating a perfect fall wreath here.
Pumpkin Centerpiece Out of Rope
This DIY trend is cute, quick, and easy. It can be used as the centerpiece of your dining room table or a pretty accent for your coffee table.
Items You Will Need
- 10″ dried bamboo stake
- Twisted manila or jute rope
- Floral wire
- Dinner plate
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue
- Farmhouse ribbon
- Scissors
First, you will want to attack the bamboo sticks together and unfurl the rope. Coil the rope in a circular shape eight times before cutting off the end with scissors. Secure the rope ends with the floral wires. Use the floral wire again to secure the rope coil to the bamboo sticks and repeat. Once all of the ropes are secured in the center to the bamboo, glue a rope around the center to keep all of it together. Then tie a bow and attach it to the top of your masterpiece with hot glue.
