01. Introduce Warm Home Scents to your Space
Home scenting is especially popular during the fall and winter months when we are staying inside more often and has increasingly grown since we started working from home. Classic fall scents will include many versions of pumpkin spice like Thymes Heirloom Pumpkin, Archipelago Pumpkin Spice Latte, or Nest Pumpkin Chai scented candles. There are more cinnamon-infused scents like Thymes Simmered Cider or Sweet Water Mulled Cider. Natural earthy, smoky scents like Brooklyn Candle Company, Santa Fe help bring the outdoors in. Use a combination of scented candles in the evenings and a home fragrance system, like Pura throughout the day. Our top pick this season is a scent that’s giving, Lumira Cuban Tobacco. With “stirring notes of cardamom and clove bud provide a vibrant opening moment, further sharpened with the tang of tangerine. It mellows into the rich nuance of tobacco enhanced with polished mahogany, a pairing that’s reminiscent of traditional tabaquerías” (and speaking of giving, this also make a very impressive hostess or holiday gift). To read more about how we use the Pura visit our blog here. No matter your preference, home scenting can bring a sense of warmth and comfort to your home.
02. Add Bold Brass Metal Accents to your Dining Table
Adding brass, bronze, or black metal accents to your decor is a cool way to warm up your home. While metal accents may seem cold at first, the darker metallics add wonderful contrast and depth to a warm linen textile runner or tablecloth. Whether using tableware or decorative objects, a mix matte and shiny finishes give designer detail to your tablescape. As a new edition to our fall home decor, this brass pumpkin collection has a lovely cast aluminum stem and the body has and antique gold finish. The pumpkins and acorn can be layered into a table scape or placed with a name card at each place setting. We also love using metal candleight and taper candle holders throughout the Fall and Winter seasons. The soft glow of candlelight reflects beautifully agains a warm metal accent, giving your home the perfect warm feeling.
03. Create a Cozy Ambiance at your next Dinner Party
Inspired by this beautiful stone fireplace, we are reminded how a warm fire at night is the ultimate cozy ambiance. The glow reflects off of these teatured plaster walls for a fun and casual fall wine tasting at home. The stunning chandelier gives a secondary warm glow to make the night perfection. When hosting at home during the fall and winter months, think about this feeling and bring warmth into your home even if you don’t have a fireplace. Or if you have a non-working fireplace, showcase candlelight on the mantle and use real (or battery operated) candles in the fireplace. Portable lamps are a new alternative, or addition, to candlelight on the table. Check out our find here to add a little variation. And while most of us are not fortunate enough to have a Baccarat glass chandelier, try an antique-inspired version to achieve a similar effect.
04. Layer Modern Textures in the Living Room with Accent Pillows
One of the easiest interior stylist trade secrets to changing your home for the season it to swap out your pillow covers. Adding darker colors and cozy textures will add a layer of warmth to your living room, bedroom, or guest room. This year we are bringing you the our biggest selection fall textiles that can also be used year round. Textures and colors pictured here are oatmeal wool slub with fringe, soft woven black leather, stone washed natural cotton, handwoven ikat pattern, and smooth black velvet. Graphic prints add a touch of personality to your collection and our Graphic Tiger Pillow pictured here is a Franklin Ave favorite here in Los Angeles.
05. Reference Mid-Century Modern Style for Warm Wood Accent

Turn a page in this new book to look for inspiration when layering warm wood accents into your home for fall whether it be with a new accent chair or a natural wood bowl or vase.

06. Display your Fall Collections on the Coffee Table
We love to display a coffee table book with a page turned to represent the mood of the season. Out latest collection of coffee table books not only provide inspiration but can also add to your fall home decor styling. Here we opened a page to a classic trench coat as we are just at the start of the season. Turn to the next page of fall leaves and dark woods and the temp cools down outside. Pair your coffee table books with textural vases, fall scented candles, warm marble bowls and trays, and continue to layer throughout the season.

07. Add a Natural Element with Fall Leaves or Branches
Turn to nature for fall stying inspiration and take a look outside for the ultimate fall finds. Dried branches, leaves, and pinecones are the perfect addition to your existing every day furniture pieces. Use this bar feature as inspiration to layer a dried branch and fall scented candle along with black taper candles to a bar cart used for entertaining. No falling leaves in your backyard? Skip the plastic leaves from you know where and purchase a natural botanical from our fall collection like a manzanita branch or a large bunch of natural stems.
08. Stock up on Cozy Blankets and Throws
Last but not least, the easiest way to stay warm this fall is to display and use cozy blankets and throws. Look for warm knits, heavy cottons, and luxe furs to make a statement. Layer these looks onto your sofa, accent chairs, and beds. And don’t forget about the guest bedroom for a special warm welcoming for winter guests. This year, bold stripes and checks are trending but you can never go wrong with a classic plaid or cable knit.
