As someone who is an absolute autumn enthusiast, I love to cozy up my home during the fall is an absolute essential. If you are someone who is looking to help cozy up your home this autumn, look no further. Below is a list of ways to make your home more cozy this season.

  • Candles

We start with a very simple way to make your home more cozy this fall. It is not officially fall until you light a candle right around the night time. Although we are a major fan of scented pumpkin spice candles, try to opt in making a do it yourself (DIY) candle. There are plenty of candle making DIY’s you can find online and this is honestly so therapeutic and something I definitely enjoy doing around this time of year.

  • The smell of baked goods

Similar to candles, there is something so great about the scent of baked goods that creates a warm and cozy environment. Also, baked goods are absolutely delish and is something many people already do.

  • Switching out your throw pillows and blankets

Now we are talking about interior design, which includes simple tasks such as switching out your throw pillows to more warmer tones and autumn related designs. In addition, the use of adding chunky knit blankets in your living room or bedroom creates a cozy and calm environment.

  • Adding pumpkins indoors

Pumpkins aren’t just great in our coffees, cakes, candles but are also an amazing dĆ©cor piece to add to really spice up that autumn cozy vibes.

  • Adding books that are seasonal related

Cozy and autumnal related books are great content to read to get yourself ready to wind down after a long day. Nothing beats coming home and just reading under a warm blanket.

  • Add a wreath here and there

Decorate your doors with wreaths that have warmer hues or neutral tones.

  • Use warm battery powered fairy lights

Similarly to candles, warm battery powered fairy lights create a space of coziness and warmth by the hue. They will really set the mood for the fall.

  • Greenery decor with warm tones

Swapping out your other greenery’s to warmer toned greenery around the houseā€”similarly to pumpkinsā€”helps create a more autumn cozy feel that is a very simple alternative.

  • Decorating your fireplace

If you are among the ones with a fireplace, take advantage of it and decorate your mantel with pumpkins, greenery, garlands, etc.

  • Switching your door mat to something more cozier

Nothing screams autumn and coziness than a nice welcome mat to welcome you as soon as you enter or leave your home.
