Updating home accessories and decor is the simplest way to update the overall look of any room in your home. Home accessories, being relatively inexpensive, are an easy way to incorporate changing interior design and home decor trends into your space. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to invest in trends in pieces that can easily be swapped out as they change, rather than investing in large, trendy items. Here are some of this fall’s trendiest home decor items and ideas.

Eclectic Looks

This year, eclectic items that are mixed and matched in a single space are extremely trendy. For example, a living room in which this style is used could include a fireplace mantel that features a Buddha head, apothecary jars, tea light candles, a hanging oval mirror and an assortment of African style carved statues. The eclecticism makes the space visually interesting.

The great thing about this particular home decor trend is that it can be incorporated into a number of styles. There are dozens of different takes and you simply can’t choose the wrong item when it comes to eclectic looks.

Updated Antiques

Antique furnitures that have been updated using modern finishes is extremely trendy. For example, a Victorian settee can be reupholstered using a trendy fabric to create a unique look that is unlikely to be replicated anywhere.

Basket Weaves

Whether open, see-through weaves or chunky, thick weaves are chosen, basket weaves have their place indoors. You can use them to store throw pillows and blankets, pet toys, children’s toys and much more. You can use smaller versions simply as display pieces when placed on certain furnitures, such as side tables, console tables or coffee tables.

Jewel Tones

Home accessories that feature jewel tones—such as throw pillows, small accent furnitures, charger plates, new wall decor or a new throw rug—are a perfect way to incorporate this hot trend into your home decor.

Plus, jewel tones can easily be incorporated into a number of neutral and soft color palettes. With so many jewel tones available (emerald green, sapphire, citrine and more,) it’s easy to find a jewel tone that fits into your existing home decor.

Gray

Though jewel tones are trendy, another hue has recently come into play in the design world. Gray is literally being considered the new neutral tone for many professional interior designers all around the world.

Plus, gray is easy to incorporate into a space. Simple items like repainting small accent furnitures gray or purchasing a few gray throw pillows can help bring this trend into your space without making it too bland and boring. Treat gray as you would treat any other neutral and you’ll do just fine!

Mid Century Modern

The popularity of certain television shows (ahem, Mad Men) has brought renewed interest in the mid-century modern style of design. This style features furnitures with clean lines and home accessories with bold blocks of colors. Plus, it can easily be mixed in with many existing home decor styles including contemporary, traditional and modern. [ Images 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 ]

When it comes to the holiday season, seasonal home accessories swap in and out of home decor faster than you can bat your eyes. This can make it difficult to stay on target, especially when one week you’re seeing Halloween and the next week that same store is full of Christmas decor. Despite the quick wardrobe changes in the store, fall is still here and is just getting into full swing, so it’s not too late to find these five must-have fall home accessories and decor items.

Natural Pumpkins

Natural pumpkins refers to pumpkin shapes that have been created using woven vines, grasses or other natural materials. It does not refer to actual pumpkins (though those never go out of style, either). Keep in mind that since this is a trendy item currently, it can be relatively expensive. Small woven pumpkins can cost you up to you $20 and larger pumpkins can break into the $100 or more range.

Natural Woven Baskets

Going hand-in-hand with the natural pumpkin is the natural woven basket. These home accessories look great in pairs, sets of three or even alone. You can place them anywhere: next to the sofa, on your coffee table, on the bathroom counter, over your refrigerator and so forth. This makes them an extremely versatile home decor item. Plus, you can store items in them such as bath products, knitting supplies or even bread in your kitchen.

Oval Mirrors

This season is all about organic shapes, so the oval mirror is a perfect choice when it comes to trendy home decor items. Oval mirrors come in a number of different sizes and the shape can vary a bit from design to design. Don’t be afraid to choose a chunky, ornate frame for your oval mirror or choose a frame that is simple and chic; you can’t go wrong with this trend and overall, mirrors tend to be trends that never fade.

Autumn Wall Art

It’s not unusual to update the look of a home through new wall art each season. Autumn themed wall art, such as pressed fall leaves or photographs of fall scenes is a perfect way to capture this trend for your own home. Of course, like many home accessories, wall art can be expensive, so don’t be afraid to make or create your own items!

Chunky Weaves

As noted with the baskets and pumpkins, chunky weaves are incredibly trendy this year. Other ways to add this trend into your home is through the use of throw pillows or blankets in chunky weaves. Think cable knits and other knitted designs, which are a perfect way to bring this trend into your home decor. [ Images 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 ]

Of all the rooms in your home, a foyer or entryway is typically among the most difficult to decorate. You find yourself stumped when looking at home accessories and decor. You’re not sure what home accessories are appropriate to use, where or how to use them in a foyer. However, it’s important to have a well decorated foyer, as it is the entryway to your home and it sets the tone for the rest of your home decor.

Rug

Since the entryway is exactly that: an entryway, it’s important to have a rug. Give your guests a place to wipe their feet and place their shoes before entering your home. However, stay away from lighter colors and prints. Opt for patterns or colors that will hide dirt well.

Also, be sure to choose something that can be easily washed on a regular basis, as you’ll need to do this. It is an entryway, after all. Don’t forget to place a rug pad underneath to help hold the rug in place. After all, you don’t want your guests to slip!

Bench

A bench is a great option for decorating a foyer. It gives your guests a place to sit when they put on or take off their shoes. Depending on the style, you can find a bench to match your home decor. Benches come in contemporary styles, modern styles, Moroccan styles, mid century modern styles, and many, many more.

Mirror

A mirror is almost an essential for an entryway. Mirrors help to create a welcoming, bright space. Choose an oval mirror for a chic space or a large, rectangular mirror for a modern or traditional space.

Wall Art

If you’ve got a beloved piece of wall decor, such as an antique painting or a sculpture, the foyer is a great place to put it. By placing these items in this area of your home, you guarantee that they’ll get seen often by you and your guests. This is a great option, especially if the wall decor you’ve chosen makes you happy or is inspiring.

Home Accessories for Foyers

Fresh flowers, potpourri and candles are all a great choice for entryway home accessories. Not only are these items visually appealing, but they can help freshen up the room. Nothing is worse than coming home to a house that smells! It can also be extremely embarrassing for guests to enter a home that has a funky odor and this is especially true if you have pets.

Choose your floral arrangements based on your space rather than just on color. For example, if you have a foyer with tall ceilings or one that is open to the upstairs area, then use tall flowers like orchids or gladiolas. If you have a smaller foyer, use smaller flowers such as potted pansies or mums.

Lastly, look at the foyer as an opportunity to display your family and their interests or personalities. You could include home accessories such as family portraits or perhaps some wall art that is made by your children or grandchildren.
