October always rushes past! With school events, football weekends and all the fun we try to cram into autumn, I'm drawn to decorating shortcuts that make a real difference without eating up an entire afternoon.
A favorite trick for making a room feel cozy is simply swapping out a few pillow covers. I can leave the blue and neutral cushions we use all year in place, then bring in a warm plaid, a lovely botanical print or soft velvet for autumn. The room looks brand new without buying a whole new set or hunting for storage space for a dozen extra cushions!
If blending colors and prints makes you nervous, try my easy recipe: one solid cushion, one pattern and one cozy texture. Carry a single hue through all three and the mix will look curated rather than chaotic.
