As the leaves fade and the holidays approach, it’s time to shift your home from the warmth of fall to the calm of winter. The trick? Layered textures, neutral tones, and a few subtle swaps that make your home feel fresh yet cozy.
1. Swap Seasonal Accents, Not Everything
Instead of starting from scratch, replace pumpkins and fall foliage with evergreens, pinecones, or candles. Keep your foundational pieces — neutral pillows, rugs, and throws — the same.
Our Florence Gingham Pillow Cover bridges the seasons beautifully with its soft pattern and year-round versatility.

2. Focus on Texture Over Theme
While fall decor leans warm and rustic, winter styling embraces cozy refinement. Add thick knits, boucle, or wool to complement your linen and cotton pieces.
3. Shift Your Color Palette Gradually
Trade deep fall hues for lighter neutrals — cream, gray, and soft brown. Keep warmth by layering tones rather than going starkly white.

4. Add Soft Lighting for the Darker Days
Shorter days call for warm lighting. Candles, fairy lights, and lamps with soft amber bulbs keep your home glowing and inviting.
