By Deborah von Donop

Thanksgiving front door pumpkin spice Wreath. The sweetest display of fall for your front door

from a favorite Etsy shop. A beautiful wreath just makes everyone feel a sense of joy.

Harvest Season is here. A Seasonal refresh for your home is a welcoming ritual that will add a few changes inside that are aesthetically pleasing and create a synergy between indoors and out.


When the seasons change outside, it’s the perfect reason to change our decor inside. This brings new energy into your home and keeps it from feeling stagnant. The clever deployment of pillows, throws, window treatments, and rugs is the simplest way of revising a home – especially if you are decorating a home on a budget

Fall Decor via Pottery Barn. I love the blanket, soft chenille pillow and candles for a warm seasonal shift.

Incorporate the colors of the season into your living room and indoor spaces.

  • ADD CHUCKY BLANKETS AND THROWS WITH NEW PILLOW COVERS for the sofa and chairs. As a base, consider colors that fit within a fall color palette: rusty reds, burnt oranges, moody greens, and golden yellows. Once you’ve done that it’s time to look elsewhere. Do you need to stock up on firewood? Try placing it in a leather basket so it’s easy to carry and looks pretty chic next to the fireplace.

  • THIS IS THE PERFECT COZY BLANKET. Layer in throws over the back of your sofa to add texture and color. A chunky handmade chenille blanket will look great on your sofa or accent chair or even placed outside on your porch seating.

  • VISIT MY ETSY shop and browse a few more selections.

  • CHANGE OUT YOUR PILLOWS with seasonal colors for a pop of color and mood. New Colorful pillows and pillow covers are a great and affordable way to update, and create a new feeling, in your home.

Bring the outdoors inside.

  • ADD NATURAL DISPLAYS TO YOUR ROOMS. I love to add in natural elements by bringing the outdoors inside and incorporating Dried Grasses, Fall swags, and wreaths along with fresh eucalyptus, olive, and magnolia.

    Try dried botanicals, and add warmth to your tabletop decor and surrounding areas. ( see below)

  • Layer in the scents of seasonal items, like pumpkin spice, and a fire in the fireplace, as added seasonal delights for the senses.

  • Surround these pieces with color on your table with a beautiful linen table runner, like this and this , topped with greenery and candles.

  • Nothing creates a cozy space like a fire in the fireplace or the glow of candles in the evenings.
