🍂✨ Fall & Interiors ✨🍂

As a Canadian girl, fall always feels special — crisp air, golden leaves, and that cozy shift as the season changes. There’s something magical about this time of year. The light softens, the evenings draw in, and homes begin to feel like sanctuaries again.

While I’ll always miss the summer sun, autumn brings a renewed sense of comfort — that instinct to slow down, light a candle, and spend time in spaces that feel warm and lived-in.

When it comes to decorating, I like to keep things simple, festive, and family-friendly — enough to create atmosphere without overwhelming the home. Whether you lean more towards Halloween’s moody charm or Thanksgiving’s warm hospitality, the key is to use natural textures and layered tones to bring the season indoors.

🎃 

Halloween — Elegant & Moody

For me, Halloween is all about atmosphere — not plastic décor. Think subtle, sophisticated, and a little mysterious.

Palette: Charcoal, burnt orange, brass, black, muted neutrals

Lighting: Black tapered candles, lanterns, warm low lighting

Natural Touches: White pumpkins, dark foliage, dried grasses

Textiles: Knitted throws, velvet cushions, wool in earthy tones

Subtle Drama: Add depth with a moody artwork, vintage mirror, or dark table runner

The result? A cozy, candlelit feel that’s elegant rather than overly themed — perfect for both entertaining and quiet evenings in.

Thanksgiving — Warm & Welcoming

Thanksgiving is about comfort, gathering, and gratitude — a celebration of abundance and connection.

Palette: Neutrals, terracotta, amber, deep greens

Natural Décor: Gourds, pumpkins, pinecones, and branches

Table Styling: Linen tablecloths, brass cutlery, foliage centrepieces

Glow: Hurricane vases, glass votives, soft candlelight

Florals: Dahlias, hydrangeas, and dried seasonal arrangements

It’s all about layering warmth and texture — creating a space that feels inviting and relaxed, ready for shared meals and conversation.

Design Tip

Keep it natural, layered, and textural. Skip the plastic décor and instead lean into organic elements — wood, fabric, foliage, and candlelight. This approach feels timeless, sustainable, and effortlessly elegant.

Because great design isn’t about over-decorating — it’s about creating spaces that reflect the season and the way you live.
