faux fall florals that won’t break the bank
Add Texture + Warmth This Fall
Once the calendar hits August, I’m ready to begin decorating for fall! With the temperatures still screaming summer, I tend to ease myself into fall by adding faux florals first! As much as I love and appreciate the high-end stems and branches that I have for the fall season, I don’t love splurging on florals because I know you can find so many affordable options that are just as beautiful. After all, most of them are only out for a few months! Over the last few years, I have made it my mission to try out affordable options for all of you, and I have finally found some really great ones that I’m so excited to share!
But first—why do faux florals matter? Aside from the overall aesthetic and affordability, some of the major selling points are the texture, warmth, and color they bring to any space. The fall season provides a blanket of warmth, coziness, and charm for many of us. We long for the rich scents, soft textiles, and warm layers. Aside from the candles and throws, florals are one of the easiest ways to achieve that desired look and feel!
For the fall season, I tend to stick to the warm earthy neutrals—think browns, purples, reds, and greens. These colorways help set the tone for your home and create a sense of realism that you would find throughout nature during the season.
Adding stems and sprays to your home is a beautiful way to introduce texture as well. By mixing in effortless stems, soft blooms, and structured branches, you can achieve a realistic look that mimics the authentic touch and movement of real stems. My pro tip here is to always make sure to fluff any blooms and play around with any branches to create a very full and natural look. Many affordable options come in small boxes that require a little work, but I promise you it’s well worth it!
Have I convinced you that these affordable faux fall florals are a must? If so, you can see some of the favorites that I have styled in our home in years past, as well as new additions I have already added this year! The best part, you may ask? They’re all from Amazon! Affordable, beautiful, and accessible! Just by making these simple swaps so far this year, our home already feels more intentional, cozy, and headed for fall.
For even more inspiration, I’ve rounded up 65+ fall stems—florals, branches, stems, greenery, and more— for you to shop here! I hope you love these favorites just as much as I do, and see how transformative they can be in elevating your home during these cozy fall months.
