8 Budget-Friendly Fall Decor Ideas: High-End Style for Less

One of my favorite home decor YouTubers is Jenna Pierce because she always shares affordable yet high-end-looking decor, and she has exceptional taste. In her latest video, Jenna shares her favorite fall finds, plus some styling tips.

I love her recommendations and advice, so here is the video and her top picks below:

1. Magnolia Stems

One of Jenna’s standout finds this season is a set of beautiful, warm brown magnolia stems. These faux stems, priced at only a few dollars each, closely resemble high-end Afloral versions that retail for $42 per stem.

The realistic coloring and velvety texture make these stems a fall staple. Jenna uses them to create full, natural arrangements that add warmth to her dining table, console, or coffee table. With their earthy, lifelike appeal, these stems are perfect for year-round use, especially if you love a moody aesthetic.

2. Candle Warmer

For those who can’t light candles due to rental agreements or safety concerns, Jenna recommends a candle warmer. This piece features a vintage-inspired glass shade and a dimmer, allowing you to enjoy the scent of your favorite candles without an open flame:

Jenna styles hers on a living room shelf, though you could place it anywhere you like. I love the cozy vibes of this candle warmer as well - it's perfect for fall.

3. Neutral Garland

Next, Jenna highlights a baby's breath garland, which adds a rustic, textural element to fall decor. Each strand is 6 feet long and priced at $5.99, which is really affordable considering the size of the piece. The description says grey, but this looks much warmer to me:

These garlands can be draped across tables, light fixtures, or mantels, creating a soft, elegant look. Here are a couple of styling examples from the At Home website:

Jenna suggests pairing the garland with tall taper candles for a refined table centerpiece, ideal for Thanksgiving or other fall gatherings. I love this idea, especially if the garland is placed on top of a light table runner, as shown in the image above.

4. Festive Jack-O'-Lantern

A fun and trendy addition to Jenna's fall collection is a black jack-o'-lantern priced at $12.99. The unique feature of this lantern is its battery-operated light, eliminating the need for cords or drilling holes.

Personally, I think this piece is a little too kitschy for fall decor, but I like Jenna's idea to enhance this piece with a diffuser for a spooky effect for a Halloween party.

5. Burgundy Floral Stems

Orange for fall is out and burgundy is in! Jenna loves incorporating burgundy tones into her seasonal decor, and she found some beautiful burgundy floral stems for only a few dollars each on Amazon:

These muted, lifelike stems are perfect for transitioning from summer to fall and can be styled in dining rooms, living spaces, or even springtime arrangements.

Inspired by designer Amber Lewis, Jenna uses burgundy to add warmth and elegance to her spaces, giving them a cozy yet natural look.

6. Fall Floral Arrangement

Another standout piece in Jenna's fall collection is a fall floral arrangement from At Home, priced at $17.99. The earthy, muted tones of the arrangement make it a versatile piece that can be styled in kitchens, bathrooms, or even on mantels.

The neutral vase adds a rustic touch, and Jenna loves how this piece fits seamlessly into various areas of her home, adding an effortless autumnal feel. I agree that this is a really versatile piece that could work in a home all year long.

7. Ceramic Acorn Canister

For a touch of subtle fall decor, Jenna recommends a ceramic acorn canister, priced at $15. This Pottery Barn-inspired piece has a rustic glaze. It would look great in a kitchen, bathroom, or on a countertop. Jenna uses hers to hold Stevia packets next to her coffee maker.

Again, personally, I find this canister a little too cutesy, but I think it depends how it's styled.

8. Burgundy Garland

Though Jenna’s fall decor is mostly budget-friendly, she splurged on two burgundy garlands from Afloral, priced at $38 each. These garlands add a rich, festive feel when draped across mantels or paired with vintage candlesticks:

This is such a classic, timeless look. However, I think spending more than $20 is too much to spend on garlands, so here's a more budget-friendly option from At Home:

Conclusion

I love Jenna's style and so I'm not surprised that I agree with most of her picks for fall decor. What I like most are the pieces that are more neutral and simple, so they're easy to swap in and out each year. Plus, I'm in love with burgundy decor for fall!
