Chunky Sweater Candles? Yes Please! 13 Essentials to Get Your Home Feeling Cozy for Fall

Even your kitchen needs a little bit of fall spirit. This super absorbent tea towel will clean up spills and dry dishes in a flash, and it’s even made from post-consumer recycled materials. If these flowers aren’t your thing, you could also opt for the autumnal hues of this checkered style or go all-in with this pumpkin towel.

What if you could make your house smell like a luxury spa in one room and a cozy coffee shop in the other, all without having to light a myriad of candles? Thanks to this plug in (that’s way more advanced than those you’d buy at the grocery store), you can switch between two different scents depending on your mood, program timers for when the diffuser should be on, and you can even control the fragrance strength from your phone. If you’re on the hunt for a fall scent that’s not too festive (we love pumpkin pie on our plate more than in the air), try something like Anthropologie’s Fig Tree or Brooklyn Candle Studio’s Cardamom.

Envision the perfect blanket. For us, it’s soft, big enough to fully swaddle yourself, pretty enough to be draped artfully over the couch, and most importantly, machine washable. If any of that sounds accurate, ChappyWrap is about to be your new best friend. The cotton-blend blankets are designed to be durable enough to withstand years of heavy use, and we love the reversible jacquard patterns. This beige one is subtle enough to lend just a hint of fall to your regular decor.

If you’ve been counting down the days until it’s cool enough to wear your favorite leather jacket, this candle is right up your alley. With hints of sage and rosemary over a base of leather and vetiver, this candle smells like stepping out during a crisp fall day. Not only does it smell amazing, but each of Brooklyn Candle Studio’s candles are made in New York with 100 percent soy wax for a clean, eco-friendly burn. 

There’s something indescribably cozy about this puzzle from Jiggy. Between the stuffed bookshelves, half-read newspaper, and fluffy cat, it just feels like a room we’d want to sit in. All Jiggy puzzles come with glue so you can frame them when you’re done, or you can take it apart again and make it a new fall tradition.

We love the colors of this throw pillow because they’re bright enough to look cheerful while still setting an autumnal mood. With down on the inside, it’s as comfortable as it is stylish.

The Sill is known for live plants, but this bouquet of dried plants is just as irresistible (and even less work). The golden yellow and deep red of this bouquet are perfect for fall, and you’ll be able to bring it out year after year. Get it with the simple ceramic vase offered on site or use one of your favorites instead.

Even something as simple as adding a fall-themed pillow to the couch can get you in the autumnal spirit. This one from Wayfair has gorgeous embroidery that’s still soft enough to nap on, and the cover is removable if you ever need to wash it.

For an appropriately seasonal pillow that’s a little more neutral, we found this little number at Anthropologie. The muted color works with just about anything, so you can bring just a touch of fall to your standard decor. 

I’m a sucker for a seasonal wreath, and Wayfair has so many that are beautiful, reasonably priced, and durable enough for years of use. I love the variety of textures and colors in this one, and it works for both indoor and outdoor use. If you prefer something a little more floral, woodsy, brightly colored, or subtle, check out the rest of Wayfair’s fall wreaths to find the perfect one for you.

Seasonal decor doesn’t have to be in-your-face colorful — though there’s no shame in going as all out as you want. This glass pumpkin from Target is so subtle you might forget to pack it away when fall is over. The muted brown color is the perfect addition to your dining room table, or buy multiple colors to make a larger arrangement.

Doormats are an underrated piece of home decor that you never think about until you’re coming in from a gross, rainy day and tracking muck all over your house. This one is made of a heavy duty bristle material that will get the dirt and grime off the bottom of your shoes, but it’s also machine-washable. You can customize the doormat with your initial for no extra charge, too. Ruggable also offers mats for sale individually, so you only have to buy the pad once, saving you some money if you plan to swap your mat out each season.

Runners are the perfect compromise between a bare table and a tablecloth that has to be washed after every meal. We love the subtle pattern and fringe on this one, which lighten up the terracotta color and make it easy to pair with brighter centerpieces and table linens.

This is one of those perfect vases that works with any type of flower, from the brightest arrangement to a bundle of preserved grasses. If you’re scarred by having a slick glass vase slip through your hands and shatter on the floor, allow stoneware texture and handles on this one to put your mind at ease.
