The Best Fall bookshelf decor ideas
1. Add some cobwebs and leaves
These bookshelves look so good for Halloween! Adding some cobwebs and a leaf garland gives your bookshelves Halloween vibes. To achieve this look simply scatter some Cobwebs and fall leaves over your bookshelves.
Fake cobwebs and fall leaves are great value for money. And you can re-use them in years to come.
The string lights also pair perfectly with these decorations. They add so much warmth. An easy to way add some fall vibes to your bookshelves.
2. Add some pumpkins
Ok, so this might be kinda obvious. But Autumn is the season for pumpkin spice everything. And I can’t be the only person who gets insanely excited by all the pumpkin decor.
They look adorable decorating bookshelves. And they add an Autumnal touch to your home. Plus you can get mini pumpkins everywhere for an affordable price.
3. Try a bead garland
I’ve been seeing bead garlands a lot recently. They fit so well into seasonal holiday decor!
You can either hang these on your bookshelves or wrap them around a pumpkin spice candle. They add the perfect touch to fall bookshelf decor. Especially when paired with pumpkins. But they also look equally good on their own.
4. Add some funko pops
Funko pops work well as bookshelf decor all year round. But they also fit right into seasonal decor. The witch themed funko pops work so perfectly for these fall themed bookshelves. Especially when paired with the pumpkin decor and black & orange books.
Funko Pops look adorable decorating bookshelves and add a personal touch. And they also highlight your love for a particular fandom. You can even get customised Funko Pops on Etsy based on your favourite books. I’m obsessed with this Hunt Athalar Funko Pop and also this Kaz Brekker Funko Pop
5. Try a miniature book nook
Miniature book nooks make your shelves look adorable They slide in between your books and create a mini world in between your books. And they work well with seasonal decor. Check out my article on Miniature book nooks for inspiration.
You can find many cute halloween book nooks. But I also think miniature book nooks showing little libraries are cute and cosy. Perfect for Fall!
6. Add some cute accessories
You can’t go wrong with a theme. And I absolutely love the cute Disney themed accessories on these shelves.
The orange colours and pumpkins give it such an Autumnal theme. And they stand out among the books.
The fall leaves scattered on the shelves also work well. You can usually pick these up from a craft store (The Works often has them). And they’re an easy and affordable way to decorate shelves for Autumn.
7. Try some hanging decorations
You can’t go wrong with a theme! The hanging witch decorations look amazing in this cosy reading nook! The witch hats pair so well with the witch garland and little ghosts. Plus they’re fairly easy to DIY.
I also love how the cushion, fluffy blanket and candles make this a comfy area to sit and read. This might be aimed at children but something similar would work so well for adults.
8. Choose some limited edition books
Have a small, unused space? This small reading area is stunning. The dark wallpaper paired with the special edition books and reading chair make this such a cozy reading space.
The wallpaper makes such an impact in this reading nook. The dark colour and botanical pattern pairs beautifully with the black bookshelves. The limited editions work perfectly. They’re also positioned in different ways – some stacked horizontally and others facing front. This breaks up the different books.
The accessories set this off perfectly – the array of crowns, candles and mugs look amazing.
9. Turn Your Books Around The Other Way
Want a cohesive or neutral look for your bookshelves? Then consider turning your books around the other way. Turning the books around helps you stick to a more cohesive colour palette.
The silver skeleton theme works well. Perfect for decorating your bookshelves for fall/halloween without using lots of orange. Plus the mouse reading the book is adorable!
10. Try an Autumnal cottagecore theme
Cottagecore decor is innately cozy. The warm woods, vintage designs and simplicity celebrate nature. You can easily replicate these adorable bookshelves at home with a few quick & budget-friendly ideas.
The vintage books have a nostalgic vibe. You can often find vintage books at charity shops or independent bookshops for a reasonable price. The teacups, jug and teapots are lovely layered on the bookshelves. You could include some cute mugs at home or thrift these yourself.
The art is the perfect finishing touch. Etsy has tons of affordable cottagecore style prints. You can also find these second-hand at antique shops.
11. Add autumn leaves
These bookshelves scream Fall! This might be the perfect fall bedroom inspiration for bookworms. Plus, it’s easy to recreate in your own room.
The Fairylights are inexpensive but add a touch of coziness to the bookshelves. Especially when paired with the wood. The autumn leaves decorating the walls is ideal for Fall. You can find packs of Autumn leaves on Amazon.
Finally, the white woven basket with a fluffy blanket is adorable. It makes you want to wrap up in a warm blanket and read.
