Simple Ways to Refresh Your Decor for Fall + a Giveaway (sponsored)

With temperatures finally dropping, it was time to make a few updates in the house for the change of seasons. Instead of “decorating” for a autumn, I wanted to make a few small changes to make the living room feel more cozy in a way that is perfect for fall but would last all the way through winter without batting an eyelash.

Thanks to my friends at Arhaus, I got a few great new pieces to refresh for the change of season. I followed 3 simple rules to give this space an updated look.



Texture texture texture  That’s the name of the game when it comes to making a living space feel more cozy.  Since my living room is a mix of warm and cool neutrals, it’s easy to layer in pillow from multiple collections to mix and match.  I love how these pillows are oversized making just a few go a long way in adding visual impact. These pillows have great raised texture and pattern but are subtle in their color scheme. Continuing on with the texture theme, I added a faux fur throw blanket that is so soft and fun to snuggle under.  I enjoy watching my trashy tv under it as much as my daughter loves to make a furry blanket fort with it.

Brassy Bling I fell in love with the this brass framed mirror the minute I spotted it.  It looks just like the ones I’ve admired at architectural salvage and antique markets for years.  This one is brand new but no one is the wiser.  It pulls in the brass accents I already have beautifully.  I paired it with my favorite painting for fall - a spooky oil portrait that I like to call the house grandma (but I got her on eBay).  This brass tray makes anything look fancy - from a simple cup of coffee, to a pile of mismatched remotes.  Finally a few mini pumpkins tucked into this tiny brass vase is the perfect little accent.

Bringing the Outdoors In  Autumn marks a time when many of us will be spending more time indoors but bringing in just a little bit of the outdoors in set the mood for the season.  Starting with this pair of planters that mimic the texture of an rough tree trunk (but are beautifully sealed inside so no leaks!) were the perfect spot for a few of the succulents that have been growing on my deck all summer.  The patina’d texture of this high boot vase is another nod to great outdoors.  Finally a few well placed mini boo pumpkins complete the fall scene and will look perfectly in place until Halloween
