Autumn has officially arrived, and this weekend we're all about football! We're headed to Auburn for the game, and I'm looking forward to everything that comes with a college football weekend: the traditions, the food and, happily, a bit of cooler air!
Back home, I've been pondering the simplest ways to make a room feel cozy without redoing everything. One of my go-to moves is simply trading out a few throw pillows. It's an easy way to bring in warmer shades, rich texture and a touch of pattern without committing to a whole new scheme.
And if mixing patterns feels daunting, start small. Choose one bigger print you adore, add a smaller companion print and give the pairing some breathing room with a solid pillow. Your home doesn't need to look like anyone else's! It should feel curated, comfortable and personal to you.
This week's Home Style Saturday is full of cozy ideas for settling into autumn. We're sharing lovely ways to decorate a small space through Thanksgiving, several approaches to styling a mantel, an easy dough bowl centerpiece, a gorgeous bedroom built on pattern and color, and a scrumptious fig cake that suits the season. Refill your coffee, get comfy and enjoy!
