33 Fall Entryway Decor Ideas to Welcome Autumn

You may have already decorated the outside of your home in honor of fall, but there's no reason that the inside of your home can't get in on the fun, too—especially your entryway. There are plenty of ways to transform your usual bench or console table to appear seasonal and festive.

Whether you're looking to draw in some autumnal hues or showcase your love for all things Halloween, there are a number of approaches that you can take when decorating your entryway for fall. Below are a selection of entryways that we find ultra-inspiring and full of fall joy.

Choose Earth-Toned Accents

Use the entryway as an opportunity to showcase a variety of rich fall hues. Here, burgundy taper candles, rust-colored pots, and beautiful branches work together to create a lovely seasonal display.

Create a Bench Display

Use your entryway bench as a display shelf to create a fall vignette. Keep things simple with some key fall touches like branches, gourds, and plaid. Branches always make for an excellent accent given that you can easily source them from your own backyard. Gourds are a great way to add a pop of color to any vignette and are always eye-catching.

Pair Orange and Black

Many people choose to incorporate some sort of Halloween component into their fall entryway. This entryway setup combines orange and black in an elegant manner and is equal parts playful and curated without being too on-the-nose.

Decorate the Wall Mirror

Go all out with some majorly spooky entryway decor. Wrap your mirror in fake cobwebs, adhere bats to branches, and of course, don't forget the pumpkins. This entryway is perfect for those looking to embrace the haunted house vibe—but in a chic way.

Switch Your Pillow Covers

If you already have a bench in your entryway, it's easy to switch things up depending on the season. Simply swap out your usual throw pillow covers for fall-like options (plaid is always a winning choice) and fill a basket with gourds, as seen here. When winter comes, you can swap out this decor with some red and green tones and pine cones.

Incorporate Woven Accents

Wicker accents are wonderful no matter the season, but we're especially partial to incorporating them into a fall entryway setup. Hang some empty baskets on the wall and fill others with gourds (or even wrapped-up candy). Here, a faux leaf garland finishes off the look.

Set Out a Skeleton

Grab a spooky plastic skeleton and plop him down on your entryway bench. If you love all things Halloween, a setup like this is definitely the one for you. It'll certainly be a conversation starter all fall long when guests stop by.

Display Dried Florals

Dried branches are an easy way to add color to your entryway. If you purchase faux branches, which can be reused year after year, you can still add in some real greenery for more pops of color.

Accent With Plaid

Break out all of the plaid. A plaid doormat, blanket, and some pillow covers are the stars of the show in this entryway. Cloth pumpkins and some baskets of mums are equally cheery and festive.

Mix Neutral Tones

If you prefer neutral tones, you can still keep things nice and subdued by incorporating natural touches like wood and wicker. When it comes to textures, bouclé is especially perfect for fall.

Decorate With Cozy Blankets

Make your blanket storage part of your decor. Grab a few of your favorite chunky knit blankets and stash them in woven baskets when they're not in use. This is an excellent way to add texture to your entryway while keeping your space nice and neat.

Display a Collection

If you're a maximalist, why not go all out with pumpkins? You can mix real gourds with plastic or cloth pumpkins if you wish, and don't forget to vary the hues you use for a collected look.

Arrange Dried Florals

Pampas grass and other dried florals and grasses are perfect for fall. Arrange vases in your entryway and fill them with various branches for a seasonal statement that isn't bright orange.

Light Up Pumpkin Votives

Let it glow. Oversized pumpkin votives will add a soft, romantic glow to your entryway, no matter the time of day.

Try a Woodland Theme

This spooky woods-themed fall entryway certainly delivers with a mix of critters, branches, and of course, pumpkins. Candlesticks are always an excellent finishing touch and cast a moody glow.

Style a Chair for Fall

No room for a console table? No problem. Create a cute vignette using a chair instead. This stack of vintage books in fall colors conveys back-to-school vibes and makes us want to curl up with some pumpkin-flavored coffee and a thrilling read.

Bring Haunted House Vibes

Go all out with witch hats and pumpkins in your entryway—there's no need to visit a haunted house when you can turn your own home into the next best thing.

Accent With Cobwebs

Skeletons and gourds shine on this entryway table, but the mirror covered in cobwebs really makes this space feel complete. Cobwebs are so easy to decorate with and can add a spooky fall touch to any nook in no time.

Style White Gourds

White gourds are so simple yet so sophisticated. Place some in a basket or directly onto your entryway table for a cheerful touch that's on the more subtle side.

Add a Fall-Themed Sign

Woven beads add a cozy, farmhouse touch to any vignette. You can also print out favorite fall photos or add a fall-themed sign to display in favorite frames.

Decorate the Coat Rack

Faux leaf garlands are your best friend—they're mess-free and easy to reuse year after year. If your entryway features hooks, hang up some of your favorite fall pieces that can double as decor—here, a plaid scarf in autumnal colors is both practical and eye-catching.

Accent With Bats

Adhere bats to your mirror and have them fly off into the distance for dramatic effect. Stick-on bats are an excellent way to transform any area in a pinch.

Display Friendly Ghosts

Goofy ghosts are having a major moment this fall, and they're such a delight to scatter around the house. Place a pair in your entryway for instant cheer.

Swap In Fall-Themed Prints

A trio of framed fall-themed leaf prints and a faux leaf garland add an uplifting autumnal vibe to this neutral farmhouse entryway.

Display Faux Pumpkins

Keep your fall entryway decor modern and effortless by displaying a collection of faux pumpkins in various sizes and finishes, scattered at varying heights from the bench to the top shelf for a balanced feel.

Layer on Faux Fur

Make your entryway bench feel extra-cozy for fall with a faux fur throw, and style your side table with fall leaves and a collection of votive candles.

Mix Pumpkins and Wheat

Decorate your entryway console table with a pair of wheat bundles, and a stack of white pumpkins in a china bowl to create a neutral and natural feel for fall.

Stick to Black and White

For an more sophisticated take on Halloween, keep the decorations minimalist and stick to tones of black and white. This entryway decorated with bare branches and gauzy cobwebs is spooky enough for kids, but understated enough for the grown-ups, too.

Bring the Outdoors In

Bring the beauty of autumn inside with a display of foraged branches bursting with colorful fall leaves that look especially vibrant against the soft gray neutral tones of this entryway.

Use Sepia Tones

Decorate a vintage chest of drawers with a simple vignette composed of dried fall leaves, old books tied with twine, and a pair of painted pumpkins to create a nostalgic sepia-toned feel in a modern farmhouse entryway.

Add Witch-Themed Decor

Turn your entryway into an ode to witches for Halloween by styling it with a broom, a hat, and a pair of vintage witch shoes. Hang an assortment of spooky decor from the pegboard and stick to a neutral palette of cream, black, and natural tones.

Mix in Some Velvet Pumpkins

Decorate your boho-style entryway for fall with a mix of velvet pumpkins and faux white pumpkins decorated with moss and florals in a decorative galvanized metal tray. Then mix in some branches from outside for a fresh fall feel.

Add Rustic Farmhouse Vibes

Add rustic energy to a fall farmhouse entryway with vintage accents, a jumble of pumpkins, a "Give Thanks" pillow, and a scented candle.
