Fall 2025 Decor Trends (and How to Get Them for Less)

1. Velvet EVERYTHING

From table runners to accent chairs, velvet is still reigning. It instantly screams rich energy.

How to afford it:

• Rent velvet linens and napkins in warm jewel tones
• DIY velvet ribbon napkin ties (craft stores or Etsy)
• Use velvet jewelry boxes for ring displays or favors

2. Suede + Linen Layering

Suede and natural linen are textural power couples. Layered together, they create a refined, cozy vibe.

Try this:

• Use suede runners over basic linen tablecloths
• Frame linen fabric inside Dollar Tree frames for signs
• Add a suede bow to bouquet wraps or chair backs

3. Warm Neutrals + Moody Pops

This fall, the palette is cozy: terracotta, deep burgundy, warm camel, muted sage, rust, and rich espresso browns.

Pro Tip:

These colors look amazing at sunset in ATL’s parks and rooftops.

Budget trick:

Use dried florals or foam flowers in fall tones. More sustainable, reusable, and wildly pretty.

4. Statement Florals (Without Real Flowers)

You can do luxe without florists. Faux florals are having a moment, especially when installed creatively.

Affordable Luxe Looks:

• Create floral chandeliers or ceiling installations
• Add dried elements to a balloon garland
• Use a grass wall or draped arch as a base

(👀 Psst… coming soon to Fairytale Frith Events: a faux floral rental catalog!)

5. Editorial Signage

No more boring foam boards. Fall 2025 favors linen banners, wood cut lettering, and minimal acrylic.

What to do:

• Rent these from a stylist (hi, it’s me 👋🏽)
• Use Canva to design chic signs, then print on linen or vinyl
• DIY Dollar Tree acrylic with spray paint + Cricut lettering

6. Lounge Areas & Mixed Seating

Gone are the days of folding chairs in rows. Think: mini living rooms with cozy seating clusters.

Save money:

• Rent just 1–2 accent chairs for your photo area
• Add ottomans or poufs from your own home
• Style with borrowed pillows, thrifted throws
