A Guide to the Coziest Harvest Home

Autumn is the harvest season, a time to count your bountiful blessings before the winter ahead. Since more time is being spent inside around a cozy fireplace, bring the harvest into your home as you settle in for winter. Here’s our guide to staying snug in every room of your house with warm autumnal colors and decorations.

Adorn Your Entryway

• Hang a wreath of autumn foliage over your door to mark the season.
• Pile a hay bale on your front porch to create an orchard-y feel.
• Set miniature pumpkins atop doorway ledges or along the banister for a cute detail, too.

Pro tip: Keeping your boots by the door provides easy access to essential fall footwear plus a rustic aesthetic. Clear your coat hooks for guests to unlayer as they arrive.

Cozy Up the Kitchen

• Spill deep, colorful dahlias and late- blooming wildflowers out of large Mason jars to brighten up the kitchen as you work your magic.
• Fill a large glass bowl with handpicked apples and pears so it always
  smells like fall.
• Create atmosphere by hanging dried cinnamon brooms from cabinet handles or simmering a pot of water with cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel.

Elevate Your Bed and Bath

• Place pumpkin spice-scented candles on bathroom sinks and bedside tables.
• Swap out basic containers for seasonal trinkets such as an adorable ghost-in- a-jar.
• Put out little pumpkin catchalls for jewelry or soap.

Create a Forest-y Table

• Create a classic cornucopia filled with gourds, pumpkins, pears, grapes, nuts, and wheat.
• Bring a touch of the outdoors to your table with greenery, pine cones, and acorns as your centerpiece.
• Add to the festive air with tableware such as porcelain pumpkin serving bowls and copper mugs.

Embrace the Outdoors

• Plump pumpkins are quintessential outdoor decor. Place them on your porch or at your front door in a wagon alongside a gardening barrel of chrysanthemums for a cheery display.
• For a more elegant look, hang large black lanterns and cornstalks around doorway columns.
• Lean into the porch life with rocking chairs and warm blankets to complement your displays.

Pro tip: If you’re feeling adventurous, build a cozy fire pit to huddle around when the evenings finally start to cool off!

Give Your Hearth a Glow

• Bronze candlesticks, old books, and leafy garland hung safely above a crackling fire will make your mantel pop.
• Make side tables sparkle with glass vases filled with pine cones and acorns.
• Add warm, earth-tone throw pillows and blankets to couches to tie the room together.
