Decorate your home for the season

“One of the first things I do in September is swap out my lightweight summer throws for something thicker and cozier. A chunky knit or a thick quilt instantly makes the couch – or bed – feel like a place I actually want to curl up in, without me having to restyle a single thing.”

“I'll be honest: I'm not the type to go all out with my seasonal decorating. I love the idea of creating a cozy, fall-ready home, but I don’t have the energy (or the storage space) to overhaul my entire home every September. Instead, I rely on a handful of simple fall decorating swaps that help me shift the mood from summer to fall in step with the new season – without the need for a storage unit.”

“So, this is the second year that I've decided to decorate my home for the holidays since living on my own. Before last year I never really did it - but I figured why not! It definitely brings a certain Christmas spirit into your home and gets you excited for the holidays. I almost didn't decorate this year but then I remembered how much I really loved my black Christmas tree I had last year and how I was so obsessed with the ornaments and lights so I went for it. My set up is really basic, but perfect for my little apartment! I used the wood - burlap themed ornaments, along with brown glitter snowflakes and clear glass balls to pair with a black glitter bow to top the tree. My tree had built in white lights which made my life so much easier and I just framed my big window with similar lights.”
