Transitioning Your Home Into Fall + Winter
Transitioning Your Home Into Fall + Winter
Cue the changing leaves.
We’re getting to settle into our homes for the cooler months…
and we are excited for all that the season’s changes bring. We love bringing seasonal elements into our spaces to reflect the environment around us. This year, we’re all about cozying up with layers, textures, and accents that create a feeling of comfort.
Transitioning into fall and winter inspires us to infuse new ideas into our homes. Easing back in to a post-summer routine, you may crave cozying up in your living space for the season ahead, too. When we add in seasonal accents in our homes, the more we focus on timelessness, the more our spaces feel elevated and intentional. This turns trends into luxury staples, making it possible to give our home a subtle redesign that feels true to the season, all without reinventing the wheel every time. Mixing material elements is a simple way to create an autumnal mood in your home. This season, we’re layering rustic and glazed ceramics and textural details like boucle and burl wood to invite a cozy atmosphere to our spaces.
Whether you’re looking to add new elements to a specific space or refresh your styling to create the feeling of the season, here are a some things you can do to make your home feel like fall:
“When you’re curating a pillow combination, incorporating a mix of textures is a foolproof way to make sure the look doesn’t fall flat. Mix heathered boucle, raw edges, cotton, and subtle block prints to add a touch of personality to your space”
Layer in cozy textiles and elements
If you ask us, a true fall feeling is all in the textiles, We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again, pillows and throws can go a long way in completely transforming the feeling of a room. In the fall, we love trading out lighter-weight fabrics with heavier, textural materials to add a sense of warmth. Texture, warmth, and calming palettes can all be introduced and intermingled in these pieces. Add a throw to the end of your bedding look in the bedroom, switch out a few pillows on your sofa, or drape an extra throw on an accent chair to up the coziness.
Autumn-approved textiles
Add warmth with textural pillows and throws.
“In autumn, look to the deep, warm hues of the leaves as inspiration.”
Bring seasonal outdoor elements in
Incorporating the color palettes each season brings into your styling is a great way to make your home feel refreshed throughout the year. In autumn, look to the deep, warm hues of the leaves as inspiration. Organic, earthy glazes and geometric shapes play oh-so nicely together. While you don’t need to re-haul all of your built-in decor or re-style the whole great room to make your home feel like fall, incorporating a few pieces can make all the difference. Add artwork that reflects autumnal moments or refreshed, seasonal greenery.

“You don’t have to sacrifice style to add smart storage solutions to your space.”
Add storage solutions to keep your home mess free
Re-think the function of your space. With a new season often comes new routines, and whether you’re sending the kids off to school or you’re re-imaging your home office set up, it’s the perfect time to re-think the function of your space. You don’t have to sacrifice style to add smart storage solutions to your space. Use baskets and boxes that double as decor to organize your living space and give everything a home. Add beautiful and functional storage solutions like baskets for backpacks and shoes in the mudroom and boxes and trays in the entryway for dropping your keys on the way out the door.

“As natural evening light dims in autumn, we look to brighten the living room with a soft look.”
Layer your lighting and add candles to create ambience
As natural evening light dims in autumn, we look to brighten the living room with a soft look. Lighting can make or break the feeling of a space, and as we approach cooler, darker months, good lighting and ambiance is even more important. Consider adding levels to your lighting layers with sconces, floor lamps, or table lamps, and ignite the senses with candles in every room.

“Design is all about playing with patterns, mixing textures and materials, and juxtaposing shapes to create a unique perspective that puts your individual look on display”
Finish with warm, tonal decor details
One of the best ways to infuse warmth into your space is through palette. In many ways, it establishes the tone of the room and is the base for layers and details that give depth to your space. Think rich, muted reds, warm-toned neutrals, and deep greens. To support this palette, we’re layering in different fabric types (hello, velvet!) to help bring dimension to these colorways. From waffled throws to block-printed linen pillow covers, texture and color bring richness to our Fall designs. We love adding decor materials that resemble what we see outside with every season, and in the fall, it’s all about incorporating natural materials with deep textural elements, including decor pieces in wood, brass, or woven materials that bring warmth to any vignette.
Other timeless fall trends we love:
Plaids & Stripes- With all this new inspiration, we’re channeling our energy into a unique curation of personal style. By layering plaids and stripes in new ways, you can infuse your own personality into spaces in a playful mix or incorporation of pattern. After all, it’s not just in the details — it’s what we do with them.
Glass Details- We love the simplicity that glass adds to vignettes. It’s a charming blend of both closed and open storage, giving an extra layer to styling while keeping things contained and organized. Whether designed with straightforward, smooth lines or clever ribbed details, glass is making a comeback. We can’t say we’re mad about it!
Touches of Travertine- The natural texture and imperfections of travertine are part of what draws us to this beautiful stone. It feels almost vintage, and if you know us at all, you know we love an old-meets-new look. We’ve paired it with other natural materials like wood, greenery, and metal to play into its curated aesthetic, giving added maturity and warmth to decor!
