Apparently fall is right around the corner, but based on how nice and warm the weather is in Raleigh, the Idaho girl in me is still a little confused on how it’s ever going to cool down haha. We’ve heard nothing but incredible things about fall here and I can’t wait to see the leaves on all the monstrous trees turn colors, and to spend our evenings enjoying the more mild fall weather on the patio. Sounds like a dream. When it comes to decorating around the seasons, I make some shifts in my home, but I’ve shifted away from covering my porch in 100 pumpkins (I don’t even know if pumpkins would last longer than a day in this climate).

Instead, I focus on incorporating patterns, artwork, textures, and finishes that are more representative of the season. I’ve posted about Winter Decor, sharing more in-depth on how I decorate seasonally. Spoiler alert: I don’t need my decor to tell me what season it is. I have windows for that :).

Fall is no different. A great place to start is by lighting a few really great fall candles and, lucky for you we tested a bunch of them and shared a list of our top 21 favorites. A few of you might actually remember the time I decorated for fall in real time in my Instagram stories and shared it here. I really focused on creating an autumn feeling with practical items–apples, branches cut from outside, a cookbook opened to a fall recipe displayed on a stand.

That’s really all you need–practical and true-to-season. Today we’re sharing a round-up of all the fall-decor essentials you might rotate through your home seasonally to keep things fresh and, especially for fall, cozy. I’m talking sitting in front of a fireplace with a blanket and a cup of homemade apple cider cozy.
