A Look At Our Favorite Early Fall Essentials

Throw pillows are such an easy way to welcome a new season into your home. Towards the beginning of a new season I swap my pillow covers out over time within the span of several weeks. I like to pick pillows that work well with pillows I already own and that can be used for other seasons as well. 

This year, like most, I’m gravitating towards the natural colors of the season. Warm creams, wheats, soft oranges and muted greens are all catching my eye when it comes to textiles. There are so many pretty color combinations for the season. Stick with what you love! 

Bedding 

I’ve always loved coordinating our bed linens to the current season. In the fall I usually incorporate warmer colors and start adding an extra layer or two. I bring out the knitted throws and pillows with natural autumn colors. This year I’m using a warm natural colored linen quilt with a down comforter and duvet. 

When it comes to decor, I love to use natural elements. Foliage, pumpkins and gourds are my go-to. For early fall, just a few foliage stems, real or faux and a seasonal scented candle do the trick! Woven trays and baskets even look more charming in autumn. Utilizing what you have on hand and rearranging it can bring a fresh feel to a space for a new season. I truly believe simple and less is more motto is best. 

Is there ever a better time for baking than in the fall? Not in my opinion. The spices, savory soups and pumpkin desserts are comfort food to the belly and soul. There are several things that I use year after year in the kitchen during the fall season, these are just a few to kick off the season.
