With the leaves falling and the chill knocking at your door, it's time to create some coziness inside. Whether you're reading a book, watching a football game or entertaining a crowd, these fabulous fall finds will leave your home warm and cheery for the crisp, cool weather!
Fall Candles
To make your home cozier, you can make simple changes like switching out candles. Choose scented candles that evoke the feelings of fall and use festive holders, like these leaf plates from Crate & Barrel. Layering rugs is also a great technique, and easy to change with the seasons.
We often don't think of bright decor when fall and winter roll around, rather we tend to use darker palettes. But with all the foliage, fall is one of the most colorful times of the year! We love this striped pillow from Anthropologie -- it can go with any color couch or rug!
For a more muted look, earth tones are the way to go. Greens, beiges and browns are calming and create the perfect environment to prepare for winter. Wrap yourself up in a cozy throw with a cup of tea and a good book! Tip: Translucent gourd lamps, a big '70s trend, are back in, so if you don't want to buy new, keep your eyes out at flea markets, thrift shops and maybe even mom's attic!
Changing up your throw pillows is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to update a room. Vary up your pillows with solid fabrics as well as prints to keep things interesting. And with winter just around the corner, it's time to get the firewood ready. This basket, from Crate & Barrel, gives your firewood a rustic-chic look.
With less sunlight in the fall and winter months, rooms can get dark. If one of your rooms faces north or east and doesn't get much afternoon light, stray away from dark drapes and curtains. Keep it light and airy so you can take advantage of the natural light you do receive.
Whether you're enjoying the last few days of warm weather on your patio, or bringing wine to a holiday party, these items can make your home look beautiful for guests. You can use this glass coche from Terrain to hold a tray of candles, or to cover warm food on a platter.
