Fall is officially here! The leaves are changing colors, the temperatures are dropping, and we can finally embrace the autumn aesthetic. There is nothing better than making your space cozy for the new season — especially when you’re spending so much time in your dorm studying, right? For those looking to make their new dorm space season-appropriate, we’ve rounded up a collection of aesthetically pleasing, but fall-y things you can bring into your college space. Everything below is also $20 or less, so you won’t have to break the bank to get in the autumnal spirit!
A Disco Pumpkin
A faux pumpkin is the perfect way to bring a little autumn into your dorm room or college apartment. The best part? You won’t have to worry about it going bad! We love the disco accent on this option. $5.
Candles
Nothing screams fall like a pumpkin pie candle, and I don’t mean scented! This candle from Target allows you to give off pumpkin spice vibes, without the scent. (A.k.a., picky roommate-approved!) $10.
Jack-O'-Lantern
Chances are, your dorm RA doesn’t want a real pumpkin rotting away in your room over fall break. Fair enough. But if you do want the same vibe without having to worry about the lifespan of a carved pumpkin, this jack-o’-lantern offers just that. $10.
Tea Candle Lights
If your heart is still set on candlelight, go for faux with these tea lights! They are sweet and cozy without the fire hazard of a lit flame. $8.
Door Wreath
Set the tone for your autumnal space before your guests even walk into your room. This door wreath provides just the right balance of both chic and cozy vibes — we especially love the warm colors. $14.
Mini Trees
If you live somewhere where the temps have dropped drastically this season, and going outside among nature isn’t really your thing, consider grabbing this pack of small trees to sprinkle throughout your space. $14.
