• Interior designer Ashley Childers shared her favorite fall decor pieces, and which ones to skip.
• "I see people go overboard with the faux: faux pumpkins, faux plants, faux everything," she said.

The arrival of fall means pulling out the pumpkins, moody autumnal colors, and cozy throw pillows and blankets.

However, while some fall decorations can make your home feel warm, elevated, and inviting, others can drain your space of energy and border on tacky.

"A lot of times, I feel like the holiday decor is disjointed from what the aesthetic is of the actual home that you live in. It should be cohesive, in my opinion," Ashley Childers, an interior designer and home furnishings and accessories designer based in Arkansas, told Insider.

"On the opposite end of the spectrum, I see a lot of people that have very curated style who feel like they can't decorate for the holidays because they don't want it to be tacky or cheesy," she said. "If you want to decorate for the holidays, you can do it in a beautiful way."

Here are five tasteful fall decorations to add to your home, and three tacky ones to skip, according to Childers.
