It’s COZYYYYY SEASON! HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO GET STARTED!

August 26, 2024 · In: Interior Design

This week Fall arrived!!! I have loved summer this year but there’s something magical about the transition from Summer to Fall and I’m all in!! Fall is the perfect time to decorate a home because Fall is all about COZY!!! I’m not one to go OVER the top when it comes to pumpkins or faux fall leaves on the tables but I definitely go OVER the top when it comes to the cozy factor.

Fall is my season and cozy is my vibe! Here’s how you can easily bring warmth and depth to any room this season with a few of my favorite fall styling routines.

Bring in the texture

Fall is all about creating that warm, inviting atmosphere we all crave as the temperatures drop. One of the simplest ways to bring that cozy vibe into your home is by playing with textures. Seriously, just look at that gorgeous blanket, it’s perfect for cuddling up with a cup of coffee and a stack of magazines. I also love swapping out lighter fabrics for richer, more textured materials. Think velvet throw pillows, chunky knit blankets, and boucle pillows—these pieces add a serious cozy factor to any room.

Add a scent

Scents play a huge role in creating the ambience of a space. Since smell is so closely tied to memory and emotion, the right fragrance can completely set the mood. For Fall, I love to fill my home with warm, woodsy, and cozy scents that instantly make everything feel more inviting. Here are a few of my favorites!

Bergamot, oakmoss, linen, white cedar, oud, citron and patchouli
Pumpkin, ginger, cardamom, allspice, black pepper
Cedarwood and sandalwood with smoky embers, burnt maple, and a hint of raspberry
Amber, Cinnamon, Allspice

Add a rug

A rug instantly adds comfort, especially when it’s a new one in soft, neutral tones. Rugs do more than just anchor a room—they bring warmth to the floor, making any space feel cozier and more inviting. Plus, they’re as practical as they are stylish, giving your room that perfect touch of warmth. These are a few I own and love!

Create vignettes

When I design a space, I’m always on the lookout for chances to create little “moments”—those special corners or spaces that catch your eye and invite you to linger. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is by styling vignettes. Think trays, candles, found objects, design books—anything that combines aesthetic beauty with a touch of personality. It’s all about styling those perfect, thoughtful details that make a space feel uniquely yours. Here’s what I’m decorating with right now!

Update the lighting

Fall lighting is all about layering. We hardly ever use the overhead lights—instead, we create layers from the ground up. We start with uplights in key areas, then add table lamps, floor lamps, and art lights to take the lighting from floor to ceiling. Mix in a few candles, and you’ve got a space that’s cozy, calming, and full of warmth. I’m dreaming of that travertine table lamp (OMG it’s from TARGET!!), but the rest you probably recognize from my own home (and many of my clients’!)

Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just Already voting for an ENDLESS FALLand it’s just getting started!! 🍂 🎃 

Comment FALL to get the links! 👏🏽 🍁 

Guys! Fall is here and I’m enjoying this year more than any before!! The leaves are just starting to change and even as I watch one little lonely leaf falling, the excitement and anticipation of the fall spectacle of leaves is making me jump up and down! 

I know! So silly but it’s just so beautiful, isn’t it?! I love the warmth, the coziness, the soup bubbling on the stove, the warm candlelight flickering in the evening light, the pumpkin cakes baking in the oven, the long cozy nights spent cuddling on the couch under the fur blankets (and laughing as someone sticks their cold toes on the other’s leg! Ewww hahaha) 

I’m 1000% here for it and I’m soaking up every single second!!!

I hope you are enjoying the season as well! 

Sending a big hug and a kiss for each cheek! XxV

Comment FREE for more tips, styling hacks (& links if you want them, too!) 

Guys!! If there’s one thing I love about decorating - it’s decorating for free! Your backyard (or even front yard!) are full of great decor! Nature walks become a treasure hunt and your world inside your home can reflect all the beautify of the outdoors. 

Your vessels, vases, bowls, trays… they all become art with these additions!

But why stop there?! What about the food you eat? Bowls of nuts, trays of dried fruit, vessels overflowing with butternut squash and pumpkins?! Eeekkk! It’s all so beautiful! It’s such an honest way to create seasonal decor while also making seasonal living even better! 

Your books? Don’t leave them sitting crammed on a shelf! Open them up to a favorite page that inspires you to live well and even what’s on the menu this week!

The best things in life really are free and you wouldn’t believe the things you can use to create these magnificent moments of joy in your life!

The only question now is… should we make butternut squash chili, butternut squash soup in sourdough bowls or roast them with maple & brown sugar? 

Love you all! XxV

Comment TREE to get the link!!! 🎄 ✨ 

Sorry to break from fall for a minute but the Grand Duchess is BACK IN STOCK!! I waited a year to get mine last year and they sold out so fast that I couldn’t get more for our own home or projects so I already bought two more!! They are WORTH THE HYPE!! I’m tearing up just thinking about how pretty it is with the twinkling lights (& Jack is trying to convince me to put them up now! Haha!)

But seriously, this tree is 1/5 of the price of the designer versions and is truly exquisite!

Ok! I’ll stop talking so you can go get yours!  Yipppeeeee!!!!!
