This season's trends are all about organic textures and neutral colors. This month, I suggest keeping your home cozy while incorporating elements for the holidays. I am loving woven and rattan materials, as well as plants like wheat and pampas grass, that create a fall harvest look.
Pumpkins aren’t just Halloween décor – they are a fall staple that work well in any space. Place miniature pumpkins in a wicker basket for a cozy centerpiece on your dining table. Or mix them with pinecones on a decorative tray on your coffee table. If bright orange isn’t your thing, white pumpkins are a great swap and create a fresh and clean look.
Enhance dull spaces in your home with hanging plants. Whether faux or real, hanging plants are great for breaking up the dynamic in a room and adding greenery. Bonus: they are out of reach for children and pets!
Stoneware vaseNo matter if your style preference is farmhouse, contemporary, or glam, this vase pairs well with any interior. This stoneware vase is the perfect piece for holding fall flowers on a coffee table, entry table, or bookshelf. Best of all, it can be incorporated into your home year-round by changing out the plant according to season.
Woven material is a mid-century trend that is homey and bears a resemblance of human touch. A home should provide a sense of comfort, especially when we are spending more time with family. This woven tray adds coziness to a coffee table or kitchen island and can be used for serving appetizers or holding décor such as the mini pumpkins and stone vase mentioned above.
This fall season is all about organic and natural décor and these placements are a great example of that. Perfect for the Thanksgiving table, these placemats provide great texture and give a crafty, rustic appearance to your dining room.

“What I love most about beverage carts is their versatility. You can turn a beverage cart into a bookshelf, an office supplies rack, a coffee cart, makeup shelf – you name it. Beverage carts are great for adding a chic touch to any room, while also offering extra storage space.”
