I’m wanting to Gilmore Girls-ify my home for Autumn and make the space feel like a cozy exhale from the city BUT i want it to be tasteful/not feel like a Pinterest board. Does anyone have recs on items/decor/candles etc that have really elevated their Autumn ambience??? 🍂🍁

100 lamps: I’m being hyperbolic but you will never be cozy without 4+ sources of diffused lighting per room. The big lights can never be on. And the kelvin must be so warm!!

VARMBLIXT LED table/wall lamp, orange glass/round: i was on the wait list for almost a year when this glazed donut dream was first released in limited numbers. i had given up hope.

then the magical moment arrived - it had been restocked. my life has improved drastically since then.

The Pebble Incense Holder | Amber: This really satisfies my pattern recognition tendencies because it matches these glasses and the donut shape matches this lamp! Very pleasing to my eye :)

Dylan · Answer

Gentle Habits Grounded Incense: Not just a clever name, this actually makes me feel grounded. i've tried to branch out by testing the other scents in this range but i can't go past this one. It's cosy and warming and not too overpowering for my sensitive snout!

would like to buy this holder to pair with them. I currently have this one, which I adore the look of, but i have to sit it in a dish to catch the ashes.

Gentle Habits even have custom playlists to accompany each of their incense and perfume oil scents. So cute :)

Dylan · Answer

BAKERY Scented Soy Candle: HEAVENLY!!!!

Scent notes: Almond · Buttermilk · Hazelnut · Vanilla · Tonka bean · Malt

Orange Table Cover: Any orange table cover will do and you can add just about anything (IE bowl of fruit, a vase of fresh flowers) and it will amplify the fall ambience.

I also like to diffuse some fall scents.

L.L.Bean Washable Wool Blanket - Plaid: As the days get cooler it feels extra cozy to pull out an extra blanket from the cedar chest. It also helps that a seasonal bedding switch is an easy and relatively low-cost way to change the feel of your space.

For me, fall = a plaid / tartan pattern and nothing is more classic New England than the quality and style of LL Bean. If you're up for a bold look then I'd recommend the Antique Dress Stewart, for a more minimalist tonal but woodsy feel the Dark Grey Heather would be my pick.

West Elm Pierce & Ward Collection: West Elm has been doing really good collaborations and this one from Pierce & Ward has rustic yet modern fabrics, with compelling details that feel very much like autumn. A set of their bedsheets or some of their pillows will give that little additional wowza to your space and will transport you right to the Dragonfly Inn.
