Bring on cozy with seasonal home decor

There’s something inherently romantic about fall - the crackle of an outdoor fireplace, the twinkle of candlelight, and a big comfy throw to lessen the evening’s chill. As the air turns cooler and we reach for our favorite sweaters, let’s turn those clocks back and get cozy.




Here are five décor ideas to bring comfort and warmth into your home.


For seasonal color, add cozy textiles in warm, rich hues like amber, moss and gold. Change out table runners, pillows, throws and area rugs.




Apply texture. Include a mixture of elements in your décor such as warm wood pieces, metal accents, neutral pottery, and beaded items.





Branch out with seasonal foliage. Dried, fresh or faux stems are a great way to transition your home from summer to fall.



Set the mood. Light scented candles in fragrances like apple, clove, teakwood or pumpkin. A string of fairy lights provides a subtle shimmer to a bowl of pumpkins or potpourri.





Hang a wreath on it. Nothing says ‘welcome to our home’ like a beautiful wreath on the front door. For an extra inviting touch, hang one over a mirror in the foyer or on a window above the kitchen sink.




I hope these tips provide a bit of inspiration to bring that cozy vibe into your home this season.
