Discover Your Fall Decorating Personality: From Minimalist Maven to Halloween Enthusiast

Oh, fall! That magical season when the air turns crisp, the leaves crunch under each step, and every store starts stocking pumpkin-flavored everything. As a realtor and mom, I’ve seen every type of fall décor out there, and let me tell you, it’s as varied as the colors of the leaves! So, let’s have a little fun and dive into the six types of people you’ll meet when it comes to autumn decorating—and how each one adds their unique flair to the season!

1. The Pumpkin Overachiever

These are the folks who practically live in a pumpkin patch. The minute September rolls around, their home is overtaken by pumpkins. Big ones, small ones, painted ones, glittery ones—you name it, they’ve got it. Their house looks like it could host a Thanksgiving parade!

Signature Decor: If it doesn’t have a pumpkin on it, it’s not allowed in their home. Expect to see pumpkin-themed everything from towels to placemats.

Catchphrase: “Why stop at one pumpkin when you can have twenty? More is more, right?”

Bonus Points: They’ve probably got a dedicated “fall” room where every square inch is covered in pumpkin-themed goodies. And yes, their kids’ Halloween costumes might just match the décor.

2. The Minimalist Maven

For the Minimalist Maven, less is more. Their fall décor is so understated it might be mistaken for an empty house if you’re not paying attention. Think beige and ivory pumpkins and one tasteful garland.

Signature Decor: A lone, strategically placed gourd on the coffee table and maybe a subtle wreath on the door.

Catchphrase: “I like to keep it simple. My home is my sanctuary, not a pumpkin patch.”

Bonus Points: They manage to make a single leaf wreath look like a masterpiece. And they probably have a knack for finding the most elegant décor that somehow still looks effortless.

3. The DIY Diva

If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind all those amazing DIY fall crafts on Pinterest, it’s the DIY Diva. Their home is like a gallery of homemade fall masterpieces—hand-painted signs, glittery pine cones, and leaves pressed into art. They might even have a hot glue gun at the ready just in case inspiration strikes!

Signature Decor: Anything they’ve crafted themselves. Expect to see an array of glitter, glue, and, of course, plenty of autumnal love.

Catchphrase: “I saw this amazing idea on Pinterest and thought, ‘How hard could it be?’”

Bonus Points: Their garage looks like a craft store exploded, and they’ve got enough supplies to make their own fall festival if they wanted to!

4. The Seasonal Chef

For the Seasonal Chef, fall isn’t just about decorations; it’s a full-blown culinary event. Their home smells like a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and maybe a little bit of pumpkin pie. Decorations double as snacks—think garlands made of cinnamon sticks and centerpieces that are really pies in disguise.

Signature Decor: Edible arrangements and fall-themed treats that you can actually eat. The centerpiece might just be a pie waiting for the right moment to be devoured.

Catchphrase: “If it’s not delicious, it doesn’t make the cut for fall décor!”

Bonus Points: They’re known for hosting “Fall Tasting Parties” where you can sample everything from apple cider donuts to homemade pumpkin soup while admiring their seasonal décor.

5. The Classic Connoisseur

The Classic Connoisseur is all about timeless elegance. Their fall décor looks like it’s been passed down through generations, with rich, warm tones and classic patterns. Think deep oranges, traditional plaid, and maybe a touch of gold.

Signature Decor: Elegant and classic pieces that have a touch of nostalgia. Their mantel might feature vintage candlesticks and a perfectly arranged cornucopia.

Catchphrase: “There’s something so comforting about classic fall décor. It’s like a warm hug from the past.”

Bonus Points: They’ve probably got a “fall family photo” tradition, and their home always looks like it’s ready for a magazine spread.

6. The Halloween Enthusiast

For the Halloween Enthusiast, fall is a one-way ticket to spooky-ville. The moment the calendar hits September, their home transforms into a haunted house. Forget pumpkins; their décor is all about cobwebs, skeletons, and a variety of ghoulish delights.

Signature Decor: A graveyard scene in the front yard, life-sized skeletons hanging from the trees, and a door that practically screams “Trick or Treat.”

Catchphrase: “If it’s not scary, it’s not Halloween!”

Bonus Points: They’ve got an impressive collection of Halloween costumes and their house might even feature a “spooky” soundtrack on a loop. September 1st is their official start date for hauntingly good décor!

So there you have it—six fall decorating styles, each as unique as the people behind them. Whether you’re a pumpkin enthusiast, a minimalist, a DIY aficionado, a culinary genius, a classic decorator, or a Halloween fanatic, there’s no wrong way to embrace the season. And if you’re thinking it might be time for a new home where you can really let your fall décor flag fly, you know where to find me!
