6 Fall Entryway Decor Ideas Designers Are Cozying Up To
Emilie Navarro, a designer who specializes in interior decor, weighs in on ideas for a fall entryway in 2024. See what she's loving at the moment, and what she and other designers return to year after year for creating a cozy, welcoming space.
1. Incorporate Seasonal Plants and Flowers
"Nothing says fall quite like a beautiful display of seasonal plants and flowers!" Emilie started us off with. "Mums, pansies, and ornamental kale are all excellent choices for adding a burst of color to your entryway." For a more traditional touch, try white pumpkins which can add an elegant touch, while traditional orange ones bring vibrancy.
2. Use Cozy Textiles for a Homey Feel
"Textiles can add an instant feeling of warmth and coziness to your entryway. A plaid or chunky knit throw draped over a bench or chair invites guests to sit and stay awhile," the designer shares. To get going on the her softer piece of decorating advice, choose colors that complement your overall fall theme, such as burnt oranges, deep reds, and warm browns.
3. Feature Personalized Elements for a Unique Touch
Make your entryway truly yours by incorporating personalized elements. A monogrammed welcome sign or family name plaque adds a special touch that’s uniquely yours, and is more of the magazine or social media look you think of when you think of a typical fall entryway. But according to Emilie, "just becuase it's fall doesn't mean you have to change your style to rustic or shabby chic. If you're eclectic anyways, keep the vibe going for the season. Throw in a quirky piece of wall art to welcome guests!"

4. Gourds & Pumpkins
Incorporating gourds and pumpkins into your entryway decor not only celebrates the fall season but also adds a vibrant and festive atmosphere. Our consultant recommends "choosing a variety of shapes and sizes, and arrange them in clusters to create an eye-catching display. You can mix classic orange pumpkins with unique varieties such as white or striped gourds to add visual interest."

5. A Warm Color Palette
We also learned from Emilie to "embrace a warm color palette that reflects the rich tones of fall. Infuse shades of burnt orange, deep reds, and golden yellows through various elements in your entryway." How we interpret this? Painting your front door a warm hue or adding seasonal accents like pillows, throws, or artwork that showcase these inviting colors!

6. A Rustic Bench
The designer leaves us with final sage advice for those wanting to go more warm and cozy. She says that "a rustic bench serves as both a functional and decorative piece for your entryway. Adding a bench not only provides a spot for guests to sit and remove shoes, but also serves as an excellent staging area for your seasonal decor." To make guests coming in from brisk weather feel instantly at home, adorn the bench with cozy textiles, such as plaid blankets or decorative cushions in fall colours.

How Do You Decorate an Entry Table for Fall?
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Table Runner: Begin with a fall-themed table runner or placemat to add texture and color to your table.
- Centerpiece: Create a stunning centerpiece using a mix of fall elements like pumpkins, gourds, candles, and decorative trays. Consider using a wooden bowl filled with mini pumpkins and acorns.
