Full overhaul or a few pieces of fall home decor: we have it all
Even though spring is traditionally when everyone is in a cleaning/organizing/updating mood, we’d argue that fall is one of the best times to tackle it all. It’s cooler outside, making it much easier to feel motivated (if you’re us, at least, but we bet you’re similar). The -ber months are also great for knocking out those home improvement projects, small or large, ahead of the holiday season. Not to mention, the kiddos are back in school, so you might just find you have a little more bandwidth to check out fall home decor or YouTube some DIYs.
Going all out? We have ideas. Wanting a quick refresh? We’ve got suggestions. Maybe we’ve had a few too many Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espressos (it’s a mouthful, but they’re divine); maybe we’re just ready to be done with the heat. The point is, we’re all about fall this year. So whether you’ve had your fall home decor up since July, or you’re just looking for inspiration for the upcoming months, these fall refresh ideas are ready when you are.
The Nugget Play Couch in "Nuggeteer"
You already love the Nugget, and they just launched this limited-edition color: Nuggeteer. We're swooning over this warm, vibrant orange hue that's oh-so-perfect for fall. The Nugget is both a piece of furniture, a fort, and a toy since it can be configured in any way your little ones want. Remember, Nuggeteer is only available in limited quantities—once it's gone, it's gone!
Known for their all-natural 100% soy wax candles that are handcrafted in an artisanal way, Unplug Soy Candles designs, pours, and packages each one with in Fishers, Indiana. Their fall and Halloween collection this year is absolutely adorable, plus they're designed so you pick your print and your scent. Choose from autumnal scents like Cranberry Chutney, Apples & Maple Bourbon, and Balsam & Cedar.
Totter + Tumble Play Mats Artisanal & Ikat Collection
Totter Tumble
Totter + Tumble thinks soft and cushy play mats should look great (and we obviously agree). We've loved all their prints, and their new Artisanal & Ikat Collection makes it easy to update your house for the new season, give your little ones a soft place to play, and a wipes-up-fast cleaning surface. They're available in multiple colors, sizes, and shapes! And did we mention they're reversible? Because they are.

NewAge Products

Whether you need a little spruce up or a full overhaul, this storage set from NewAge is sure to finally get it all under control. With lockable doors, stain-resistant work surfaces, and multiple colors to choose from, this is an investment that creates a gift that keeps on giving.
We're already hooked on Pura. Their smart home (and car!) fragrance diffusers let us schedule, change strengths, switch between scents, and know when the fragrance vials are running low, all within the Pura app. Add scents that come from best-loved brand collabs (think: Anthropologie, Disney, NEST, and Homesick, to name a few) and your whole home will smell like a fall wonderland. It's a thing. Trust us.
One thing that's easy to miss about the summer is keeping your plants outside to soak up the sun. Instead of trying to keep them bundled up and safe from the cooler elements this fall, bring them inside and pop them under one of these chic Soltech Indoor Plant Lights. They're available in a bunch of different styles, so you can keep your plant babies happy and your cozy home aesthetic on point.
Why do reviewers rate this faux fur throw from Crate&Barrel 5 stars? Ultra-soft, perfect for the couch or foot of your bed, and machine-washable (so it'll even stand up against your kiddos)? That sounds 5-star worthy to us. Available in 7 fall-ready colors.
The summer heat makes it genuinely difficult to want to take on projects, outside or inside. Now that it's cooling off, now is the perfect time to tackle the big projects ahead of the holidays (There. We said it.). Modular Closets designs custom closets, pantry storage, and garage solutions (if you're anything like us, you might be dreaming of organizing all three).
The Hypnotizing Fire Candle from The Harmonist might become your go-to fall scent. Pimento berries, Bulgarian rose, cloves, and more, all blend together for a unique and downright addictive fragrance. Bonus points for the sleek candle jar, too!
Cookware that's pretty doesn't really do it for us unless it also works really well. The Meyer Cookware set delivers on both counts, and although we're partial to the Spark Edition colors pictured for the fall, there's also a grey-toned Cinder & Spark Edition that's so cool, too.
The Nest Learning Thermostat is a smart thermostat that learns your schedule and programs itself to help save energy (really!). You can control it from anywhere with the Nest app, and it works with Alexa and Google Assistant so you can adjust the temperature with just your voice. And it’s designed to be seen, with a big, bright display and several different metal finishes.
A new mattress? Don't mind if we do. There's a really good chance you don't realize how uncomfortable your old mattress is. Maybe you just wake up stiff, can't get comfortable, or end up sinking into the low part one one side or the other. The award-winning Nolah Evolution isn't just comfortable. It literally provides cooling, heat-dissipating support thanks to 9 full layers of technology (or magic. We don't really understand how they're this comfortable. We're just glad they are.)
Okay, we admit, this set is meant for the holidays, and while it's perfect for the winter months, the notes of pine, cinnamon, and amber are just as cozy for the fall. It also doesn't hurt to snap a set or two up for gifts this upcoming season!
Mirrors make a huge difference to any room, but one in the entryway? Chef's kiss. It opens up large and small spaces, gives you a place to hang your keys, and comes in several metal finishes, sizes, and shapes, too!
