Use Colorful Pumpkins
Pumpkins for fall don’t have to match the usual seasonal palette. Take advantage of the pumpkins’ inherently autumn look by adding them to your living space in vibrant colors that are not usually associated with fall. These include navy and turquoise.
In living rooms, colored pumpkins are a good choice when adding fall colors to the decor would be too overwhelming.

Light a fire
A warm, inviting fire is one of the best ways to announce that fall has arrived. Clean out your fireplace to prepare it for the new season. Place a flameless candle or a candelabra in your fireplace if it’s not functional or you aren’t allowed to use it.
