The start of fall signals a lot of change, which could explain why watching our favorite fall-ish TV shows has become a staple of the season. Whether it's the nostalgic comfort or simply a way to slow down and recharge, there’s no denying that hitting play on Season 1 Episode 1 with a soft blanket and warm drink is the best part about temperatures dropping.
As it turns out, your favorite fall TV show can offer you more than just comfort this season—it can be a source of some major design inspiration, too.

If you’ve ever admired the quaint and charming decor of Stars Hollow or the moody and earthy feel of Mystic Falls, you’re in luck. We spoke to a design and decor expert who broke down the top fall decor trends you should try based on your favorite fall TV show.
Is there any TV show more quintessentially fall-themed than Gilmore Girls? While we’re sure Stars Hollow experiences a standard range of seasons, Rory and Lorelai seem to be in a perpetual state of sweater weather, and we’re here for it.
Meagan Stock, an interior designer and professional organizer based in Ontario, Canada, says you can bring some of that quaint Stars Hollow feeling into your home by leaning into all things charming, cozy, and traditionally-fall themed.
“Think strictly orange pumpkins, twinkle lights, hay bales, dried wheat, or other dried florals—burgundy preserved eucalyptus is a personal favorite—throughout your home,” she says.
When it comes to colors, Stock recommends you stick to a warm color palette. Think thick plaid blankets in autumnal colors, warm wood tones, and more.

Decorating your home is a great way to celebrate a new season. Whether it’s pumpkins and skeletons for Halloween, or Santa and snowmen for Christmas, these themed decorations can help your family and guests embrace the holiday spirit.
Fall is here and that means care for your lawn and garden will differ greatly from the spring and summer months. As colder temperatures roll in, it may be time to start prioritizing other gardening tasks and stop others like mowing your lawn.
Jade plant (Crassula ovata) is a subtropical evergreen succulent with rounded, fleshy leaves and all the makings of an excellent houseplant. As the weather dips, it starts heading for dormancy and has different needs for the changing season. We show you how to care for a jade plant in the fall.
If autumn is one of your favorite times of the year, you probably feel a natural urge every September 1st to start decking the halls for fall. It's always a good idea to put extra thought into your new purchases so you can make wise decisions on your decor investments.
Timing is everything in successful gardening—this includes pruning! As we enter autumn, we share a selection of perennials you should never cut back in the fall if you want them to grow and bloom abundantly in spring and summer!
Wondering whether your favorite piece of Halloween decor is a bit too over the top to set out this year? As it turns out, many interior designers have a soft spot for seemingly tacky Halloween decorations, which can be styled to look extra festive and will bring the entire family joy.
