Fall is the perfect time to decorate your apartment. This is the time of year when the leaves are changing colors and the weather is cooling off. You may feel the “itch” to decorate for autumn in general or even Halloween. Living in an apartment gives you more freedom to decorate your space how you want to, so be sure to give some of these unique ideas a try.

Make your own wreath
Designing and creating your own wreath is a fun way to show off your creativity. You can use anything from artificial flowers and leaves to tulle and fall-themed “picks” from the craft store. Wreaths can be hung on your door or on a wall in your space. Even the ones that seem the easiest to make and are basic can add some fall flare to your space. Having the wreath near your door allows for a warm welcome to your apartment when guests arrive and when you and your roommate come home. You may want to work together with your roommate to create one or a couple of wreaths to hang up.
Floral arrangements
Again, floral arrangements are craft projects that allow you to choose what types of flowers and plants you decide to use, showcasing your unique tastes and style. Many craft stores have artificial flowers you can use, which is helpful so you do not have to worry about keeping your plants alive and you can reuse them from year to year. Most places also have inexpensive vases that can be used to hold the flowers, and you may even decide to put some fall-looking ribbon on the vase.
DIY Containers
Craft stores usually have plain glass cylinders and cubes that can be used to create different types of decorations. These come in various sizes to fit into any space you need. They can be filled with things like artificial sticks, leaves, acorns, and other things typically found in nature that are fall-related. While this is a fairly simple project, it looks great and allows you to add your own personal touch to your project and space.
DIY Candles
Fall scents are some of the most popular scents of the entire year, especially anything pumpkin spice. Make your own candles using your favorite scents or buy a candle and design your own candleholder. These projects allow you to bring out your unique style and scents while freshening up your apartment. This helps when it gets colder and opening your windows is no longer an option for airing things out!
Pumpkins
Pumpkins are one of the most popular crafts you can use to decorate this time of year and for good reason. You can do so many different things with pumpkins, so no two people’s pumpkin crafts will be exactly the same. Large pumpkins can be carved into jack-o-lanterns or have various designs carved into them. Any sized pumpkin can be painted into anything. Pumpkins can also be used to make floral centerpieces for dining room tables, whether you cut open the top and fill it with flowers or surround it with flowers and smaller pumpkins.
Candy corn crafts
Many people love eating candy corn and other festive treats during the fall months. However, these foods can also be used to help decorate your apartment, adding a unique look to your space. Whether you use actual candy corn or just the traditional colors, the treat can be used in multiple unique ways to spruce up your space. Even just leaving candy out in decorative fall bowls can help decorate your apartment in a unique and tasty way.
Halloween crafts
Halloween décor items are among the most popular decorations for your apartment, and there are creative things you can make. You can use a white hand towel and fake blood to make a fake bloody handprint towel to make your bathroom look like a crime scene. This will creep your guests and roommates out, and you will likely forget about it and be creeped out at some point too. For something a little less scary, hang up lanterns. These can be pumpkins or even zombies and can be hung indoors or outdoors if you have a balcony or porch.
Entrance rug
It is important to keep your apartment as clean as possible. During the fall months, it is likely that you are going to track leaves inside on your shoes, especially when it is raining out. Having an entrance rug can help have a place for you and your guests to wipe your feet so you are not tracking in dirt and leaves. Rugs can come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can find one that matches your own unique fall style or you can design one yourself.
Fall is the perfect time to add a personal touch to your apartment space by creating unique décor items. These items do not have to break your budget and can be quick and simple to make!
