This is a short but sweet post today and I am sharing the details of my fall entry!
As you know it is long and has multiple sections to it. You can read more about our entryway here.
It definitely gives me more space to decorate and I like to make things as functional as possible for our family.

This little shiplap wall is just inside my garage door and has become our drop zone for jackets, hats, sweaters, and umbrellas. Shoes we tend to keep in the garage so they don’t pile up here.
I added this beautiful cone-shaped basket and faux fall leaves to one of the hooks and I love the pop of color and texture it adds here.
Earlier in the year I was at Round Top and found these mounted antlers and for now, they have found a home here.

This little spot is just under our stairway. After a while of living here finally added this beautiful marble-topped table and either have a little ottoman or chair here.
I love the oversized black fan artwork and I think it is a bold statement piece. You look straight at it when you walk in the door and I love the scale of it.

I found these amber-hued magnolia leaves which seem to keep going out of stock so keep checking if you want to get them. I’ve ordered them twice now and have 4 stems in this tall glass vase.
I tied this natural bead garland around the neck of the vase for a little added texture and love how versatile they are. I’ve used these tied around lamps and draped them over a bowl. So pretty!
I clustered a few of my coffee table books in this rattan tray with my table lamp for a simple display.
This leather pillow is one of my new favorite affordable pillows! It is only $31 and is such a great accent. I paired it with a striped pillow and tucked them both in this basket nestled under the table. It softens the space and pulls the amber color of the magnolia leaves through.
I kept things fairly simple in my fall entry this year and will be adding my Halloween touches soon! You can check out my fall porch this year and stay tuned for the rest of my fall home tour posts coming soon!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you decorate an entryway for fall?
Start with a few seasonal accents such as faux branches, pumpkins, warm-toned accessories, and natural textures. Keep everyday storage functional by using baskets, hooks, trays, or furniture that can hold frequently used items without blocking the walkway.
How can you make a small entryway feel cozy?
Use layered textures, warm colors, soft textiles, greenery, and a few decorative accessories to create a welcoming feeling. A small table, basket, artwork, or vase can add personality without taking up too much valuable floor space.
What should you put in an entryway drop zone?
A practical drop zone can hold everyday items such as jackets, hats, umbrellas, shoes, bags, and other accessories. Hooks, baskets, benches, cabinets, and trays can help keep these belongings organized while maintaining a tidy appearance.
How do you decorate the space under a staircase?
An under-stair area can become a useful decorating spot with a small table, chair, artwork, lamp, basket, or decorative accessories. Choose furniture that fits the available space while leaving enough room for comfortable movement through the entryway.
How can you add fall color without using many decorations?
Choose one or two warm seasonal shades and repeat them through greenery, pillows, artwork, vases, or small accessories. Amber, burgundy, rust, and earthy tones can add noticeable fall color while keeping the overall entryway simple.
