Cozy Fall Home Tour / Beautiful Decorating Ideas
Can you believe it is almost October and it’s officially fall? Let me show you some beautiful decorating ideas for the fall.
Today, I’m sharing my fall home tour as part of the Bloggers’ Best Fall Home Tours hosted by my lovely friend Kelly, from the Tattered Pew.
Kelly has organized 30 wonderfully talented home décor bloggers to share their homes with you. Their homes are filled with so much fall decorating ideas and inspiration.
If you are coming over from my friend Kristin, White Arrows Home, welcome! She has such a beautiful home in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
For those of you that are new, I am Tammy. Together with my husband and little fur baby Piper (2-year-old French Bulldog), we live in historical Southern Maryland.
You will often see Piper in my photos as she is never far from me.
I am so glad that you stop by to see my cozy fall home tour. I hope you find some decorating inspiration here.
Our modern newly built farmhouse has an open concept. Therefore, there is no foyer area. You walk straight into the dining room area with my home office to the right.
With an open concept, the key is to have the design flow from room to room. That design includes colors that flow and coordinate together.
This year, I am using a lot of earthy tones in my fall decorations. You will see lots of textures, wood elements, and even dried flowers from my garden.
Here are some beautiful decorating ideas for the fall!
Dining Room
The dining room is the first room you see when entering our home.
Instead of a runner or tablecloth, I used a wool throw on the table. Often I will use a throw as a tablecloth or table square depending on the size of it. I believe in working with what you have in the home first.
After creating my centerpiece, I bunched up the throw around it. I love the warm tones in this throw and the texture it adds to the wooden table.
I love to incorporate plants into my home decorations. It makes no difference if you use real or faux. I use both in my home.
Greenery helps to create that cozy feeling in a space. For a more eye-catching display, consider adding a pumpkin or fall pick to your plant.
I crafted a moss topiary for my sideboard. You can find the tutorial here. It’s a simple DIY project that’s much more affordable than buying a new one.
Give your pumpkin a fresh coat of paint! I turned mine into a creamy white beauty using Dixie Belle paints. See the full tutorial here.
Living Room
The kitchen, kitchen dining area, and family room all flow into a large space. It is perfect for us with a large family. We have grown children and a growing family with 4 grandchildren. There is lots of space for the grands to play.
This versatile rug is a great addition to our home. It’s not only comfortable but also easy to clean, making it perfect for families with kids. We love the variety of sizes it’s available in.
All of the items found in my home can be found on my “SHOP MY HOME”.
I repurposed an old grapevine wreath from my basement to create a stunning double wreath for my fireplace. The 24-inch wreath I added on top makes it the perfect size for the space.
Lots of textures on the fireplace to soften the stark white hearth and mantel.
I design with comfort in mind. Pillows and throws will be tossed on the floor. Grandchildren and dogs will lay on them too. The items for my home must be children and pet-friendly.
The pumpkins are pillows. The grand littles can take them out of the basket. They love to lay on them.
This wreath is recycled from a few years ago. I store all of my wreaths in plastic wreath boxes. It keeps them protected and looking good for years to come.
Kitchen Dining Area
I kept my kitchen dining area simple this year, adding a tall terracotta vase filled with dried hydrangeas from my garden. If you are interested in learning how to dry hydrangeas, I have a tutorial on how to dry hydrangeas.
Over the coffee bar, I added a few fall touches. I made this wood bead fall wreath.
On the opposite side of the table area, I have my favorite bench. It was purchased from a friend. She made the bench from an old bed. It’s a favorite spot for my grandchildren to sit. I love to sit and read here too.
Hope you enjoyed these beautiful decorating ideas. Be sure to pop over to my talented friend, Rachel at The Ponds Farmhouse. She is sharing her budget-friendly tips with you to create a beautifully decorated home for the fall.

Thank you, Cecilia. It’s so nice to have a mantel and hearth to finally style. I did not have much of one at the old house.
Tammy, your fall home tour is gorgeous! I love your mantle display and the pretty tablescape you created. Happy Fall!
Thank you, Shawna. I appreciate your sweet comment.
Love the wreath over the fireplace. And those hydrangeas ❤️
Thank you, so much Amanda. I should have saved you some. The blooms were so gigantic this year.
Tammy, your house looks fantastic for fall. I love how you used the throw blanket for your table.
I sure wish you lived closer and we could sit and chat over a cup of coffee.
Wendy, I know right. I do wish we lived closer and could head to markets together too.
Tammy, It was good to see your face…I love that picture!! Everything is just gorgeous, my friend!!
Thank you, Jennifer. I am so glad you like my photo. I need to have some more done again.
Tammy I’m enjoying your fall home tour so much! You have so many pretty photos, and I love the fall styling with the plaid throw on the dining table! Pinning!
Thank you so much, Michelle and thanks for pinning.
Tammy!! I loved your home tour! I love that those pumpkins you have are pillows for the littles. I do things like that too because of my littles!! Such a beautiful way to decorate with function in mind!! Always love hopping with you friend!!! XoXo
Aliya, I have neighbors that come over with their children. I hear them tell the children don’t touch anything of Ms. Tammy. I immediately jump in and tell the Mamas to relax this house is to be lived in. There is nothing that they can hurt that cannot be replaced. I want people to cozy up and feel welcome. I may move a vase or two before littles come over into my office out of harms way. I think now they all know, to come and enjoy.
Tammy your home looks beautiful for fall! How cute are those pumpkins for the little ones. They are adorable. Happy Fall! xoxo
I had to put up the large white pumpkin. Piper thought it was one of her toys. NOT! LOL
Hi Tammy!
Such a pretty tour! I love the way you used faux and real plants in your home! Your mantel is so pretty and I love the cozy touches you incorporated throughout your home! I pinned your home to my fall board to share! Thanks for letting me stop by!
xoxo
Jennifer thank you so much and for pinning. I greatly appreciate it.
Your tour is lovely, Tammy! Those pumpkin pillows are so cozy, and I love the little textured pumpkin picks you put in the plants. So many lovely fall details in your home! I’m getting ready to transform some pumpkins myself! Pinned, and lovely touring with you!
Julie, thank you so much sweet friend.
Nice to meet you Tammy! I would love to live in a historical town. Is it like a Hallmark movie? Your style is beautiful and perfectly decorated for fall. Love your bed bench. We made one out of a full size bed and I think it’s my favorite DIY to date. I need a cushion though. We double up the quilt but it’s definitely not soft enough. Enjoyed hopping with you this week. Happy Fall!
Not quite a Hallmark movie, but the sweet town of Leonardtown has wonderful events and great restaurants. Not like the bigger historical towns.
Tammy your home looks so lovely and cozy for fall! I love the plaid blanket on the dining table. And also a fan of your dining chandelier and pumpkin pillows – so much that I have the same.😂 So wonderful to be on the tour with you. Happy Fall!
Love it that we have same tastes in things. Thank you about my chandelier, I did not want anything fancy and felt it went well with the home.
Tammy,
Everything looks beautiful and cosy for Fall. I LOVE love love the plaid on the table, the pumpkin pillows in the basket. I can just imagine how lovely this is for you, and your family and friends that get to see it in person!
Have a wonderful weekend, you are in my thoughts.
Thank you, Elizabeth for stopping over to the blog. Wasn’t that plaid throw a great fine? I found it a local store and snagged it up.
Tammy, your fall home is lovely! The colors and textures are beautiful! I love how you used the wool throw on your table, the double wreath on your mantle, along with your pretty dried hydrangeas. It is all so cozy and welcoming! Happy Fall, my friend!
Thank you so much, Lynne for your sweet comment.
