These bookshelves look so good for Halloween! Adding some cobwebs and a leaf garland is an easy way to give your bookshelves some 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. It's 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 absolutely adorable decorating bookshelves. And they're a great way to add an Autumnal touch to your home. Plus you can get mini pumpkins everywhere for a pretty 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. They look especially adorable 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 insanely adorable decorating bookshelves. They're a great way to add a personal touch. And they're a great way to show 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


I'm convinced that miniature book nooks are the future. They slide in between your books and look absolutely adorable. And they can work really well with seasonal decor.
There are many cute halloween book nooks. But I also think miniature book nooks showing little libraries look so 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 really stand out among the books.
The fall leaves scattered on the shelves also work really well. You can usually pick these up pretty affordably 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 so amazing in this cosy reading nook! The witch hats pair so well with the witch garland and little ghosts. Plus they look fairly easy to DIY.
I also love how the cushion, fluffy blanket and candles make this a really 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
These bookshelves are absolutely gorgeous. And they have such dark academia vibes. There are so many simple things you can do to recreate these bookshelves.
The limited colour pallete and brown/orange toned books definitely add to the dark academia vibes. These Penguin Clothbound classics work perfectly. And if you like classics are a great purchase. I also like how they've stacked some books horizontally to use as a stand for an accessory.
The accessories set this off perfectly - the array of skull accessories, microscope and glass apothecary bottles look amazing.
9. Turn Your Books Around The Other Way
If you 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 really well here. And it's perfect if you want to decorate your bookshelves for fall/halloween but don't want to use lots of orange. Plus I think the mouse reading the book is insanely cute!
10. Try an Autumnal cottagecore theme
Ok, so I know these don't have loads of books on them. But I had to include these because I absolute love the cottagecore vibes. Plus there are some really easy and affordable ideas on these shelves that you could easily replicate.
the folded jumpers instantly give a cosy and warm vibe. Plus almost everyone has some knitted jumpers at home. The white candle and dried flowers are also really lovely and pretty affordable.
