Fall is finally here and we couldn't be more excited! There is something extra magical about the season as the temperature cools, the pumpkins come out, the leaves change and we finally have an excuse to wear cozy sweaters, flannel and boots.
It's time to welcome the season with open arms—and guess what? You don't even have to leave your house to do so. With these fall decorating ideas from Ohio Instagrammers, you can invent the indoor oasis of your dreams and make your home look and feel as cozy as possible.

Mums, pumpkins and plaid—oh my! We love the idea of layering your doormats to give a little bit of custom style and dimension, which is exactly what Katie of Kasually Katie did with her front porch's seasonal decor last year. She also added in some gorgeous flowering mums and pumpkins from one of our favorite nurseries, Pettit's, for a perfect fall touch.

While we think it's never too early to start decorating for Halloween, this subtly spooky felt wreath from Infarrantly Creative could be left up all year long! The bright orange paired with a checkered black bow says Halloween with class. And, it turns out felt wreaths are actually pretty easy to make! You can find the full tutorial here.

When it comes to Thanksgiving dinner, you have a few choices on how to display the smorgasbord. You could make it a self-serve affair with a buffet or you could create a fall wonderland for your guests like Annie from The Preta Porter did! We can't get enough of the eye-catching metallic pumpkins in the centerpiece or the adorable acorn napkin holders.

Crunching leaves, pumpkins, cool autumn air, fresh linen and cinnamon are just some of our favorite scents of fall! Even Cutler Real Estate's own Olivia Johnson can't get enough of fall smells—burning a Sweater Weather candle all season long. We also love her silver candlesticks and delicate pearl spray in a tall, glass vase that adds a subtle and classy fall touch to the space!

We sure love our rustic decor here in Ohio. Not only are we home to the Country Living Fair in Columbus, but we are also a haven for antique lovers with incredible vintage and antique stores around every corner. And that love oozes out of this photo from Pam at House of Hawthornes! We adore the rustic watering can, tiny pumpkins and, of course, that amazing corn on the cob garland that ties it all together.
