Fall is a time for taking crisp walks in the park and sipping on warm lattes under the Friday night lights. Unfortunately, the autumn weather isn’t always predictable and we often find ourselves stuck inside when a cold storm blows through.
Instead of sacrificing the fall vibes while staying indoors, you can bring them right into your home. Designer and author Liz Marie Galvan stopped by TODAY to show us how we can recreate that same feeling you get from visiting a pumpkin patch with some must-have indoor decor.

This is hands down the best pumpkin spice candle I've ever smelled. I've smelled many candles good enough to eat but this one is truly tempting..." said one user.
Baskets

The great thing about using baskets as a decor item is that they are extremely practical. This one is large and can hold throw pillows, throw blankets or anything that might otherwise get in the way of fun home activities.
Montego Two Toned Decorative Storage Basket
This rustic two-toned basket can be used for multiple things. Galvan loves to have it around when guests need a blanket and also finds that it works well for storing kids' toys!
Glass Vases
Clear Barcelona Vases
Not only are these vases named "Barcelona Vases," they are actually created from recycled glass from Spain. They are ideal for adding an organic style to any room.
Clear Green Vase
So far, this vase has a perfect, 5-star rating on Amazon and we can see why. One user raved about the soft (not overpowering) color and said it's perfect for sitting on a shelf or mantle when you don't have a lot of depth to work with.
Faux Greenery
Dusty Yellow Faux Flowers
This beautiful bunch of flowers is perfect for adding dimension and texture to your floral arrangement. The hints of orange throughout give this sprig a subtle fall feel though they can be used year-round in multiple centerpieces.
Fake Mini Floral Buttons Bush
You'll find that the burnt orange flowers on this floral addition provide an ideal fall vibe to any room. Galvan recommends adding a little water in the bottom of a vase to make these look real.
Burnt Orange Preserved Hydrangeas
These ones stick to the burnt orange theme — but we can't complain because this color is absolutely stunning, Three stems come in this bunch and work well alone or with other faux brush.
Orange and Red Fake Fall Berry Pick
Is this fall berry stem not the cutest? We love it for an autumn-themed centerpiece used in the middle of the dinner table or on a kitchen island.
Preserved Fall Oak Leaves in Brown Tones
We'd love to bring beautiful orange, red and yellow leaves inside when they fall off the trees, but those natural leaves turn brown quickly and tend to get a bit messy. These faux ones look like the real thing and are a whole lot cleaner.
Pumpkins
Pottery Barn Faux Pumpkins
For a limited time, you can snag these pumpkins starting at just $7.50. They are recommended for indoor use, but the hand-painted style makes them look like they were just picked from the patch.
Artificial Pumpkins and Gourds Bowl and Vase Filler
These pumpkins and gourds definitely look like the real thing! Except for the fact that they are miniature, making them ideal for filling a bowl or vase.
