Fall decor

Hi! Are you as excited for fall as I am?! This is truly one of my favorite times of the year. As temperatures slowly drop, school starts and a new season is upon us, I find myself reflecting on the summer and at the same time, anticipating the months ahead. Fall is one of those magical seasons that is packed full of joy filled moments and experiences. Football games, cooler weather, sweatshirts and big comfy sweaters, porch sitting and rocking, pumpkin patches and picking pumpkins, the start of school which is always exciting, soups, breads, baking, the smells, the sounds. I could really go on and on. To me fall is all about cozy vibes and I want to share how I create a cozy fall home.

Besides your typical pumpkins and Hobby Lobby decor you put out; there are other ways to add coziness to your home for the cooler months. One of those ways is pillows. Lots of pillows! I like buying pillow covers so I can swap out my pillows easily for the different seasons. For fall I like adding knit pillows to add texture. You can purchase this knit pillow cover here.

This year I added these rust orange colored pillows that add a nice pop of color. I purchased these two smaller rustic fall pillows from the local pumpkin patch we visit every year.

Notice the texture on the rust colored pillows. Also, you can’t go wrong with plaid during the cooler months.

Throwing a pillow in a basket with a few other fall items is another way I like to add cozy vibes. I sell these fabric pumpkins over on my Berry Berry Quite Contrary facebook page.

Another way I like to decorate for fall is by adding lots of throw blankets around our home. Draping one on a bench or in a basket with a few pillows is a great way to display your blankets. Other obvious places are on a couch, chair or bed.

Adding strands of lights is another way I bring in coziness into our home. I strung these lights with this garland on our fireplace.

In the last year I’ve added quite a few plants into our home. I like throwing a string of lights over them. These lights came in a pack of 4 and are all on a timer. You can purchase them here.

I strung some across this chalkboard in our dining room as well. I love these battery operated lights because it’s easy to hide the cords!

I’m becoming a pretty big faux candle lover as well. I love the look of candles but running around my house lighting a bunch everyday and also trying to remember to blow them out is not something I want to have to worry about. These faux candles are my favorite right now. They flicker so give the appearance of being real. I appreciate the fact they have a remote and a timer with them as well. They automatically come on in the evening and turn off on their own. Candles always give cozy vibes so I have these spread throughout my home as well.

One of my favorite ways to add a touch of fall in our home is through scent! I love all the smells of fall. I recently became a Young Living member and am just a little obsessed. Ok, maybe a lot obsessed right now. I really appreciate the fact that diffusing my oils creates yummy smells and also health benefits.

The last few days I’ve diffused these three oils together and it’s giving me all the fall vibes. I ordered some more oils; orange, cinnamon bark and nutmeg to name a few. I can’t wait to try out those oils as well during the fall season.

To get your own oils you can go HERE to purchase.

Another way to add in fall vibes is through nature itself. I bought this wheat grass from Hobby Lobby. I like the natural texture it adds to this space.
