Prepare your house for fall

With fall here, not only your closet needs some new basics. Your house needs them too, so you feel comfortable all season long. I normally start looking at different and more fall-y looking pillows, definitely try to find a rug or two to put on the couch for those movie afternoons or TV show nights, and a nice and warm duvet cover to substitute the spring/summer one. Little tweaks here and there that make your house feel more like a warm, cozy and cute fall destination.

Pillows, chair and rug from Crate and Barrel.

These pillows have a very fall look to them. They sport warm colours, leaf-y patterns and soft fabrics, so you can have a Saturday afternoon nap and not feel the need to get your bed pillow.

Having a rug goes a long way. I’m a very cold person during fall and winter and one of my have-to’s of these two seasons is a rug to keep me warm when I’m watching movies or TV shows, or just reading a book. Needless to say, if it can keep you warm and be a decorative item, you’re in luck.

Every year, my mother would change my duvet cover come fall. I would store the spring/summer very thin rug and substitute with a duvet cover insert and a pretty duvet cover. We used to go to Zara Home, IKEA or Benetton. This year, I will probably get one from west elm. The only thing is, deciding which one!

Flatware from west elm.

Every now and then it’s good to change your cutlery. Currently, the ones I have are from IKEA, but I’ve been admiring these ones from west elm for quite some time. I love accent flatware and these are just beautifully shaped and coloured. Very in style with the holiday season.

Trays can bring a whole new look into the same old room. I recently bought one at IKEA to use in the kitchen so I’d have a place for the wine bottle and water. I decided to add some candles and a small glass to make it look nicer. It’s a great way to organize whatever you need, hold a candle and some books or even be used as a liquor holding tray.
