Early Fall Home Decor Trend #3 - Statement Entryways

 

3. Statement Entryways

   

If there’s one spot homeowners are going all-in on this fall, it’s the front door. The entryway is being treated like the new fall focal point — and pumpkins are playing the lead role.

Rather than scattering a few here and there, the trend is moving toward intentional, sized-to-fit arrangements that feel layered and elevated. That doesn’t mean over-the-top or overdone. Think symmetry, height variation, and thoughtful groupings that highlight your home’s natural features. We like to call that Pumpkin Up Style™ — intentional, elegant, and totally photo-ready.

Early Fall Home Decor Trend #2 - Cozy, Layered Textures

 2. Cozy, Layered Textures

In 2025, designers are embracing a lived-in, tactile aesthetic that strikes a balance between visual depth and warmth, making texture the focal point. The key?

Combining different textures to create a unified color scheme. Indoors, that could mean using rough-cut wood trays, dried flowers, and textured accents, combined boucle pillows with woven throws in your living room.

For a cozy welcome outside, consider using a variety of pumpkin finishes (wood, velvet, and real), or soft pampas grass combined with rustic crates. The idea is to use contrast to create comfort — rough with refined, soft with sturdy — whether it’s inside or out.

Trend #1 - Earthy Neutrals & Pumpkins

This fall, seasonal color schemes are becoming softer and more organic. These tones are raising interest in searches like “neutral fall decor” and “modern farmhouse pumpkins”. Consider warm shades of brown, blush, off-white, terracotta, and pale sage.

2025 12 NY Resolutions For Your Home - SEPTEMBER: Plan your home’s future remodeling projects

SEPTEMBER 2025:
Plan your home’s future remodeling projects

Start by asking yourself... Do I plan to stay in this house short or long term?

SHORT-TERM:  First, find out if you should even renovate your house before selling!

Ask your local real estate agent, who has a lot of experience, which projects are going to help in your neighborhood. You’d be surprised that up to 50% of the projects homeowners think they want to do might not make any difference in the value of your home or make any difference in the sale.

LONG-TERM: Focus on adding value, consider remodeling your kitchen and/or bathrooms. For instance, a mid-range kitchen remodel costs an average of $27,500 and recovers around 96% of project costs at resale. With a sizable price tag, you’ll want to plan this remodel well in advance to ensure you get all the details "right".

Draft up a home renovation plan:

- Find inspiration online

- Get quotes from general contractors

- Create a savings plan to finance the project
