Ah, Fall…it’s officially here! I don’t know about you, but I am happily clutching my PSL and wrapping myself in a plaid scarf while lighting my favorite apple cinnamon candle and arranging a basket of gourds in my entryway! Cliche or not, I love the change of seasons, the chillier temperatures, and the beautiful colors that come along with it. This is the perfect time for a few simple decor updates that will make your space feel cozy and inviting! I’ve chosen a few of my favorite decor items below…whether you pick just one or splurge on them all, you will surely “fall” in love with your home’s fresh new look.
Are you as excited as I am to snuggle with this ultra soft pillow while catching up with the latest on Netflix? I’m partial to the rust color as it integrates beautifully into many color schemes. Whatever color you choose, it will bring a new element of texture and coziness into your living room. (Makura Faux Fur Pillow available at Anthropologie, $68-$98)
Oh my…these colors! Isn’t this wreath absolutely breathtaking? It is the perfect thing to welcome guests into your home this season. I love the mix of many different elements and textures, all in the most amazing color palette for fall. (Fall Abundance Wreath available at Williams Sonoma, $80)
Can you think of anything more perfect than cuddling up with this blanket and a glass of red wine in front of a cozy fire? I love the thick knit and creamy color of this particular throw, but faux fur is a great option here too! (Overlook Throw available at CB2, $129)
I envision these giving a lovely glow to a patio or other outdoor space on a chilly fall evening! They give off such a dark, romantic vibe that is just a touch spooky and an elegant upgrade to the traditional Halloween decor. (Constellation Hurricanes available at West Elm, $19 - $69)
Here is another gorgeous option for your outdoor space! These would be perfect for lighting up a walkway. (Mira Rustic Bronze Lanterns available at Pottery Barn, $99 - $269)
I could not resist this cheeky little doormat! The subtle nod to Halloween is festive without being over the top. (Hand-painted doormat available at West Elm, $42)
Monogrammed pumpkins are one of my favorite fall trends! Whether you go for a faux or real pumpkin is up to you; simply paint it your favorite fall color or leave it au naturale and slap on one of these for the cheapest and chicest way to update your front porch this fall. (Personalized Vinyl Monogram available from EtchCraft on Etsy, $8 - $28)
You can use these charming baskets anywhere in your home (one can never own too many baskets!) but I particularly love the idea of putting one outside under a covered porch to hold a plant. These baskets are adorable enough on their own, but knowing that the company is fair trade as well makes this a no-brainer purchase! (Rukia Colorblock Woven Basket available at The Basket Room, $20-$43)
How absolutely delightful is this candy bowl?!? I love the Los Muertos style—it is a fun way to put a fresh spin on the traditional skeleton motif and you’re guaranteed to be the most stylish candy distributor in your neighborhood on Halloween night! (Los Muertos Ceramic Candy Bowl available at World Market $19.99)
And finally…it really is all about the little things in life sometime, isn’t it? After all, you don’t *need* to sip your cab sauv from this gorgeous glass with an amber-colored stem, but if doing so helps you to sit back, relax and appreciate the beauty of the season and comfort of your home, why wouldn’t you?!? (Amber Wine Glass Set of Six available at Viridian Bay, $28)
