Dollar Store Plastic Pumpkins

Ombre Wine Bottles
Repurpose those leftover empty wine, liquor, and beer bottles into a work of art. The color combination of your choice will add a fun but sophisticated look to any surface in your home. All you need to purchase is a few cans of spray paint!

Painted Pumpkins and Gourds
Try this funky twist on the classic Jack-O-Latern by painting them with a few eye-catching designs and colors. While this decoration may stray away from the traditional interior style, have no fear because it’s a quick and cheap way to take a risk with your color palette. Bonus – put some painted pumpkins on your front door for a unique look that the neighbors will be jealous of (and yours won’t ever get that shriveled up dying look). Get instructions and pumpkin inspiration here.
Natural Room Scents
Fill the air in your home with subtle scents of autumn. Not only will your home feel more relaxed, but guests will feel cozy and warmly welcomed . You can experiment with any number of fragrant ingredients until you find your perfect fall scent. Bonus – most of the ingredients are cheap and can conveniently be found at the grocery store (or even your own backyard). Bonus: As this decoration is not Halloween themed you can leave it up for the entire Fall Season. Read more here.
