As the leaves change color and the days shorten, there’s nothing quite like the warmth and comfort of a cozy home to make the fall feel even more magical.
Whether you love the fall so much you spend the year waiting for pumpkin spice to be "in" or just enjoy getting warm and cozy when it's cold outside, we've got everything you need to create the perfect fall ambiance inside your home.
Let’s dive straight in!
Embrace Warm and Inviting Textures
One of the simplest ways to create a cozy fall ambiance is by incorporating warm and inviting textures throughout your home. Think soft throw blankets, plush new pillow inserts, and luxurious bedding you can snuggle up with as the temperatures drop.
A strategically placed rug or runner can also work wonders in making your space feel warmer and more inviting. Our Optic Area Rug and matching Optic Runner even come in fall colors, making them the perfect addition to your home – as well as something comfortable to curl up on top of with some cushions and pillows, especially for little ones!
Create a Fall-Inspired Color Palette
As well as investing in a rug and runner, there are many other things you can do to bring color into your home that mimic the changing leaves outside, taking your feeling of coziness to another level.
- Don't just swap your pillow inserts; swap the covers or buy all-new pillows in fall colors. Think deep oranges and vivid reds. And if you want to add a personal touch, why not buy white cushion covers and dye them yourself?!
- Upgrade your dining area with fall-inspired placemats or a new tablecloth and table runner. This is a great way to add a pop of color and make your dining space feel seasonal and festive ahead of Thanksgiving.
- Look at whether you have an opportunity to add some autumn-themed wall art or decorative pieces around your home. You might even keep it as simple as buying something like this Dark Walnut Linear Wood Frame and adding your favorite fall photo or getting the kids to draw something seasonal to place inside.
Add Cozy Lighting and Scents
Lighting is vital in creating a cozy fall ambiance, especially as the days grow shorter. Soft, warm lighting can make your home instantly feel more inviting and comfortable and help you forget the day's stresses in minutes.

The best thing about finding cozy lighting for the fall? You can usually take care of fall scents at the same time!
Candles
Few things say fall like the warm glow of a candle, and with our wide range of scented candles you can pick up something just for the fall or that will still smell seasonal if you make it last until the holidays.
And if you’re already a candle enthusiast, you don’t need us to remind you how great they are for putting pretty much anywhere you like around your home. You could even have your cozy candlelight deliver a different scent in each room if you want!
Soothe yourself through the fall with seasonal lighting and scents like our Cinnamon Roll Jar Candle or Cozy Cabin Jar Candle.
Do you like the aura that candles create but prefer to avoid the scents they bring along? Pick up a few packets of tealight candles for a winning combination of coziness and control over how light or otherwise your rooms are.
Oil Lamps
If you prefer a more haunting ambiance – or want to get into the Halloween spirit as soon as possible- opt for an oil lamp instead.
This Farmer’s Lantern is a stunning addition to your home all year round!
Aroma Lamps
If you’ve got little ones at home and would rather not take any risks with candles or oil lamps, consider an aroma lamp instead. This Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamp describes itself as “the ideal combination of soothing light and fragrance,” which tells you everything you need to know.
Some people believe these are great for boosting your well-being, too!
Diffusers
Focused solely on fall scents? Then you need this Aromatherapy Room Diffuser with your favorite scented oils – we love this Cedarwood Pure Essential Oil as a seasonal fall scent.
Bring the Outside Inside with Natural Elements
Bringing the outside into your home is a fantastic way to embrace the fall. Natural elements like dried wood and leaves – and pumpkins! – can add a rustic touch to your décor, while collecting all of these is an exciting and fun objective for any fall walk with your partner or children.
And if you're mindful of fall allergies and would rather not bring the outdoors in, there are still plenty of ways you can embrace the fall.
- Add wooden elements to your décor – think of the picture frame we shared with you earlier or check out our full range of picture frames to find your favorite.
- Buy dried flowers in fall colors, or get creative with a garland or wreath making kit and make your own fall décor without having to collect all the elements yourself.
- Group pumpkins on your front porch or even as a centerpiece on your dining table. Just remember which ones are edible and which aren’t – it’ll soon be time for pumpkin pie and Jack-o’-lanterns!
