Step into Autumn: Cozy Decorating Tips for Your Home
The air is getting crisp, the leaves are starting to turn, and there’s a distinct feeling of coziness in the air. Autumn is here! This is one of our favorite times of the year to refresh our homes, swapping out bright summer hues for warm, inviting textures and colors.
At Lavender & Birch, we believe decorating for the seasons doesn’t have to be a big, complicated project. Sometimes, a few thoughtful pieces can completely transform a space. Here are some of our top tips for bringing the magic of fall into your home, one room at a time.
A Welcoming Front Porch & Entryway
Your front porch and entryway set the stage for your entire home. They are the first things you and your guests see, and with a few simple additions, you can create a warm and inviting welcome.
To get started, consider our "Hi There Pumpkin" Natural Coir Doormat. This playful doormat is the perfect way to greet guests and add a festive touch right at your doorstep. Made from durable, natural coir fibers, it’s not just charming—it’s also great at trapping dirt to help keep your floors clean. Pair it with a few pumpkins, a colorful wreath, and some potted mums to create a picture-perfect fall display.
Inside, you can continue the cozy welcome with our Vertical Wood Engraved Fall Wall Signs. These beautiful signs are crafted from white wood with elegant, engraved lettering that adds a rustic, charming feel. Hang one near your front door to give guests a seasonal greeting, or lean it against a wall on a console table for a layered look. These signs are warm, welcoming statements that make your home feel lived-in and loved.
A Cozy Dining Room & Kitchen
The kitchen and dining room are the heart of the home, where we gather with loved ones to share meals and make memories. This is the perfect space to add rich, warm colors and textures.
Start with your table. Our Orange Plaid Table Runner is a must-have for creating a cozy, vibrant tablescape. Made from 100% cotton, it drapes beautifully and brings the lively colors of autumn—from changing leaves to pumpkin patches—right to your table. Layer it down the center and top it with a centerpiece or flickering candles for a stunning focal point. This versatile runner is a timeless piece that will make every meal feel like a special occasion.
For the finishing touch, add our Faux Wheat Place Card/Photo Holders. This boxed set of four features faux wheat in miniature galvanized metal pots, adding a touch of rustic farmhouse style to your table. These aren't just for place cards—they also double as charming photo holders, perfect for displaying your favorite family photos on a bookshelf or mantle after your gathering. They’re a simple, elegant way to celebrate the season and add a personal touch to your space.
A Living Room with Luxurious Accents
The living room is where we relax and unwind. This autumn, elevate your living space with decor that adds visual interest and a touch of luxury.
While traditional pumpkins are a fall staple, our Gray & Brown Feather Pumpkins offer something truly special. The rich, earthy tones of gray and brown give them a dramatic and luxurious feel that complements any color palette. Their unique texture adds a layer of visual interest, while a natural twig stem adds a rustic charm. These aren't just seasonal accents; they’re a piece of curated decor you'll be excited to pull out year after year. Place them on a coffee table, a mantle, or a bookshelf to add a sophisticated, autumnal touch to your living room.
You can also brighten up your space with our Yellow & Brown Fall Maple Leaves Stem. These gorgeous stems are the perfect way to add a pop of color and texture to any room. Grab several to fill a vase and watch your living room come to life with the perfect fall vibe.
No matter where you choose to decorate, adding a few new pieces can help you capture the true spirit of autumn. We hope these tips inspire you to get creative and make your home feel extra cozy this season!
