Favorite Fall Décor and Accents I’m Loving This Year
I have been slowly transitioning our home from summer into fall, one small area at a time. I’m not in a hurry to bring out every fall decoration or completely change each room in a single afternoon. Instead, I’ve been paying attention to the pieces that make our home feel a little warmer, cozier, and more layered as the season begins to change.
This year, I’m especially drawn to fall décor that feels collected rather than overly seasonal. Warm brown tones, timeworn brass, classic patterns, soft knits, and a few nature-inspired accents can bring that unmistakable feeling of fall into a room without taking away from the way your home looks the rest of the year.
Today, I’m sharing a recent roundup of the fall décor and accents I’m currently loving. Many of these pieces could be used well beyond autumn, which is always something I consider when adding anything new to our home.
The Quiet Shift: How I’m Letting Fall Arrive Slowly in Our Home
There is something about the first hint of fall that makes me want to slow down and pay closer attention to home. The mornings begin to feel a little cooler, the light starts to change, and the trees slowly trade their summer greens for warmer shades of gold and rust.
Fall never arrives all at once in nature. It unfolds little by little, one subtle change at a time. And over the years, I’ve found that this is also my favorite way to welcome fall into our home.
Instead of setting aside an entire day to completely transform every room, I like to let the season arrive slowly. I focus on one area at a time, making small changes as I feel inspired. It takes the pressure out of seasonal decorating and allows me to enjoy each part of the process.
The Fall Floral Stems I’m Loving This Year
I haven’t started decorating for fall just yet, but I’m slowly transitioning our home with warmer colors, added texture, and moodier floral stems. Before my favorites sell out, I wanted to share the faux fall stems I’m loving this year—from faded hydrangeas and petite berries to sculptural branches and richly colored leaves. I broke it up into different categories and included links at the bottom of the post for each of my favorites I’ve seen this year.
Consider Yourself Warned: A Few Things You Should Know About Me
I recently asked ChatGPT a question just for fun:
“Describe me to someone that you are warning them about me.”
And, well… I felt a little exposed. 😂
The response was funny, but the more I read it, the more I realized how accurately it described some of the things I love most. So I thought it would be fun to share a slightly different kind of post today.
If you’ve been reading Rooms for Rent for a while, you probably already know that I love decorating, gardening, arranging flowers, and making our home feel cozy. But there are also a few things you might not know about me.
So, if we were meeting in real life and someone wanted to properly warn you about becoming my friend, here’s what I think they should tell you.
How We Transformed an Overlooked Space Beside Our Driveway
This summer, it has been full steam ahead as we’ve worked on several outdoor landscaping projects around our home. Some have been on a larger scale, like planting our hydrangea hedge, removing the overgrown shrubs around our house, and restructuring our raised blueberry garden beds. Other projects have focused on making smaller improvements and finding practical solutions for some of the unsightly areas that can easily be overlooked.
A Simple Summer Front Porch with Classic New England Style
There is something about summer that makes me want to simplify every area of our home, including our front porch.
During the spring, I’m usually eager to clean, refresh, and fill our outdoor spaces with flowers again. But once summer arrives, I want everything to feel easy. I don’t want a porch that requires constant attention or an entirely new collection of seasonal décor. I simply want it to feel welcoming, comfortable, and ready to enjoy.
This year, I gave our summer front porch a relaxed New England-inspired look using a classic blue-and-white color palette, weathered wood, and plenty of white flowers. A few thoughtful details were all it took to make the porch feel refreshed for the season while still staying true to the simple, collected style I love.
Summer Giveaway: Host a Beautiful Gathering This Season
Summer has always been one of my favorite seasons to gather friends and family around the table. There’s something special about lingering conversations on the porch, simple meals shared outside, and slowing down long enough to enjoy the people we love.
One of my favorite parts of creating my recent summer tablescape was choosing pieces that felt timeless, relaxed, and welcoming. The kind of items you can pull out year after year for everything from casual weeknight dinners to weekend celebrations. To celebrate the season, I wanted to give one of you the opportunity to host a beautiful gathering of your own.
How to Welcome Summer Into Your Home (Without Buying All New Decor)
Every season has a feeling. Spring always inspires me to throw open the windows, clean every corner, and fill our home with fresh greenery as everything outside begins to bloom. But summer? Summer invites something completely different. Instead of doing more, it reminds me to slow down. As the days grow longer and our schedules become a little less hectic, I find myself wanting our home to reflect that same slower rhythm. I don’t feel the need to constantly decorate or tackle another project. Instead, I make a few intentional changes that help our home feel lighter, simpler, and ready to enjoy.
Over the years, I’ve realized that welcoming a new season into your home doesn’t have to mean buying all new décor. Often it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest impact.
How Our Kitchen Has Evolved Over the Past 5 Years (And Why I Love It Even More Today)
When we first moved into our home five years ago, I remember standing in this kitchen completely in awe. It was bright and beautiful with crisp white cabinetry, warm wood floors, a large island, and so much natural light. It checked every box we had hoped for. Yet, while it was beautiful, it didn’t quite feel like ours just yet.
Over the last five years, I was reminded of something when it comes to decorating our home. The most meaningful spaces aren’t finished the day you move in; they’re collected slowly. They evolve over time and begin telling the story of the people who live there. Looking back at these before and after photos reminds me that what changed most wasn’t the kitchen itself. It was the layers we added that made it feel like home.
