Eco-Friendly Decor Tips for a Cozy, Sustainable Home this Fall
Creating a cozy, sustainable home this fall is all about blending comfort, warmth, and eco-friendly choices. At Bohemian Mama, we believe that stylish, eco-conscious living doesn’t mean sacrificing aesthetics. Here are some tips to help you decorate your space in a way that’s both kind to the planet and perfect for embracing the fall season.
1. Opt for Organic Textiles
Switching to organic textiles is a small change that makes a big difference. Choose bedding, throws, and cushions made from materials like organic cotton, hemp, or linen. These fabrics are naturally breathable and kind to the environment, offering a cozy yet sustainable option. Earthy, fall colors—think rust, mustard, and deep greens—enhance the seasonal warmth.

2. Upcycle and Repurpose
Sustainability is all about making the most of what you already have. Get creative with furniture or decor you no longer use by repurposing them. Turn old wooden crates into rustic shelves, repaint a worn-out chair for a fresh look, or transform glass jars into candle holders. Upcycling breathes new life into items that would otherwise go to waste, giving your home a unique, lived-in charm.
3. Eco-Friendly Candles
Fall is synonymous with cozy nights by candlelight. Opt for eco-friendly candles made from soy wax, coconut wax, or beeswax, which are more sustainable than traditional paraffin candles. Choose candles infused with natural essential oils like cinnamon, clove, or cedarwood to create that perfect fall atmosphere without harmful toxins.

4. Sustainable Furniture Choices
When investing in new furniture, consider pieces made from sustainable materials like reclaimed wood, bamboo, or rattan. These options are not only eco-friendly but also add a natural, bohemian vibe to your home. Vintage or second-hand furniture is another great sustainable choice—look for timeless pieces that can be refurbished for a fresh fall look.
5. Layer with Vintage Rugs
Layering rugs is a classic way to warm up your space for the colder months. Instead of buying new, look for vintage or second-hand rugs made from natural materials like wool or jute. These eco-friendly options add texture, warmth, and personality to your home, giving it a lived-in, bohemian vibe.

6. Natural Elements for Decoration
Fall is a season rich with natural beauty. Bring the outdoors in by decorating with items like pinecones, acorns, or branches. A DIY wreath made of dried leaves or flowers not only adds a seasonal touch but is also compostable. Dried flower arrangements, gourds, and wooden bowls filled with seasonal fruits are simple yet sustainable decor pieces that celebrate autumn’s bounty.
7. Mindful Scenting
Instead of synthetic air fresheners, use essential oil diffusers or simmer pots to scent your home naturally. A simmer pot with ingredients like cinnamon sticks, orange peels, and cloves fills your space with a lovely fall fragrance. Essential oil diffusers with oils like sandalwood, eucalyptus, or vanilla create a calming and earthy aroma perfect for the season.

8. Sustainably Sourced Fall Decor
When you’re buying new decor, opt for sustainably sourced and ethically made pieces. Look for brands that prioritize eco-friendly production methods, fair trade practices, and natural materials. From ethically made wall art to handcrafted wooden bowls, these thoughtful purchases help support sustainable practices while creating a beautiful home.
By integrating these eco-friendly decor tips into your fall refresh, you’re not only creating a cozy, inviting home but also making mindful choices that support a more sustainable lifestyle. At Bohemian Mama, we believe in the beauty of conscious living—where style and sustainability go hand in hand.

Back to School Sustainably: Fall Transition Activities for Kids
As the warm summer days wind down and crisp fall air begins to creep in, the transition back to school often feels like a reset for the entire family. For many parents, this time of year brings the challenge of finding sustainable and fun ways to help their children transition from summer fun to a school routine while also enjoying the seasonal shift. At Bohemian Mama, we believe in blending eco-conscious choices with creativity and adventure. Here are some family-friendly, sustainable activities to help your little ones ease into the school year while celebrating the arrival of fall.
Eco-Friendly Back-to-School Supplies
Before the new school year begins, take this opportunity to introduce sustainable habits by opting for eco-friendly school supplies. Instead of buying plastic binders or synthetic backpacks, look for brands that focus on sustainable materials like recycled paper, organic cotton, or reusable containers. Set up a DIY station at home where your kids can personalize their supplies by decorating notebooks with recycled paper, old magazines, and eco-friendly craft supplies. This not only reduces waste but allows your child to express their creativity.
Organize a Back-to-School Clothing Swap
As your child transitions into the school year, they might need new clothes for the fall weather. Rather than buying an entirely new wardrobe, organize a clothing swap with friends and neighbors. Gather gently used kids' clothing, including cozy sweaters and fall jackets, and let the children swap their outgrown outfits. This is a fun, social way to update their wardrobe sustainably while teaching kids about the importance of reusing and recycling.
Plan a Nature-Based Scavenger Hunt
As summer turns to fall, nature provides an ideal backdrop for outdoor family fun. Organize a fall-themed scavenger hunt for your kids, focusing on eco-friendly and nature-based items. Create a list of things to find, such as colorful leaves, acorns, pinecones, or specific types of plants. This activity encourages children to spend time outdoors and connect with nature while learning about the seasonal changes happening around them. After the hunt, you can use the collected items for arts and crafts or a simple nature display in your home.
DIY Fall-Themed Crafts Using Recycled Materials
Get into the fall spirit by hosting a family craft day using recycled materials. Encourage your little ones to create fun fall decorations, like leaf garlands, pumpkin art, or homemade bookmarks for school. Use recycled paper, cardboard, and natural materials from your scavenger hunt to make eco-friendly crafts. This is a great way to engage their creativity while also teaching the importance of reducing waste and repurposing items.
Pack Sustainable Lunches
A sustainable back-to-school routine includes eco-friendly lunchtime practices. Swap single-use plastic bags and containers for reusable options like stainless steel lunchboxes or biodegradable sandwich wraps. Get your kids involved in packing their lunch by choosing organic, local, and in-season foods. Preparing fun, waste-free lunches helps children develop healthy habits while minimizing your family’s environmental impact.
Visit a Local Farm or Farmers’ Market
One of the best ways to embrace the fall season is to visit a local farm or farmers’ market with your children. Many farms offer pick-your-own activities, where kids can gather seasonal produce like apples, pumpkins, or berries. This teaches them the importance of supporting local businesses, understanding where their food comes from, and appreciating the freshness of seasonal eating. Plus, it’s a great way to get them excited about cooking healthy meals at home!
Fall Storytime & Cozy Reading Nooks
As the days get shorter and cooler, set up a cozy reading nook for your little ones where they can curl up with a good book. Pick fall-themed, nature-based stories that encourage a love for reading while celebrating the season. Use sustainable blankets and pillows made from organic cotton or recycled materials to create a warm and inviting space. Storytime is also a perfect way to wind down after a long day at school and foster a love for literature.
Family Hike & Outdoor Exploration
Fall is the perfect time to take your kids on an outdoor adventure. Plan a family hike or a trip to a local nature preserve to see the leaves change colors. Bring along reusable water bottles and sustainable snacks, like homemade granola bars wrapped in beeswax wraps. Hiking allows your children to burn off energy, stay active, and connect with nature, while also offering a calming break from their school routine.
Sustainable Back-to-School Routine
As you and your children settle into the new school year, consider establishing sustainable habits at home that can carry into the classroom. Create a chore chart that incorporates eco-friendly practices, like turning off lights when leaving a room, recycling, and using less water. You can even incentivize these habits with fun, eco-conscious rewards, like a trip to a local park or an afternoon of crafting with recycled materials.
Plan a Fall Camping Trip
Celebrate the end of summer and the start of fall with a family camping trip. Whether in your backyard or at a nearby campsite, camping is a great way to embrace the change in seasons. Teach your kids how to respect nature by leaving no trace and using eco-friendly camping gear, like reusable plates and utensils. Bring along cozy, sustainable clothing from Bohemian Mama’s collection to keep your little ones warm as you enjoy stargazing and storytelling around the campfire.
Final Thoughts:
This back-to-school season, blend sustainability with creativity and fun for a seamless transition into fall. At Bohemian Mama, we’re passionate about providing eco-friendly products and lifestyle tips that make it easy for your family to embrace a greener way of living.
