Excited to feel that fall chill in the morning air? If you’re like us, the start of autumn feels more like the start of the new year — school’s back in session, you’re changing out your wardrobe, your annual pumpkin spice addiction kicks in again…. It’s also the first real opportunity to get your home feeling more seasonal — consider this a trial run for the holidays, Mama. We’ve got decor ideas to turn your house into a cornucopia of harvest-y heaven.
COMENZAR Flickering Candles
Even if you had the time, inclination, or axe to chop down some real birch trees and make these candles yourself, we’d still recommend getting these instead. These LED candles are safe and convenient, and even come with a remote so you can get your glow on sitting on the couch across the room. Says one mom, “I Love these candles! The moving ‘flames’ give a very realistic effect and I love that you can adjust how bright the lighting is. The outer birch design is beautiful. You get the same movement and light of a real Candle, but in a much safer way. I have a 5 year old and a cat so these give me great peace of mind.”

LUDITEK Lighted Fall Garland
This string of light-up leaves adds a seasonal touch to mantles, tables, or any other corner of your home that needs a little fall flair. Says one leaf peeper, “I ordered a single string, which was just great for the price, and then ordered another to make my mantle really glow. I could have ordered the two string option and saved money – take a hint! Anyway, the mantle looks lovely with three flameless candles and these realistic looking leaves. The cord is clear, so they look even more real.”

HOMESICK Scented Candle
Whether you’re visiting family for Thanksgiving this year, or they’re coming to you, make the mantra, “Home is where the heart is,” a little easier to believe with these state-scented candles. Each scent is personalized to your home state or city. (Don’t know what Pennsylvania smells like? Caramel, maple, buttery rum, and malty molasses balanced with dark cocoa and dry tonka bean, obviously.) Says one ex-Missourian, “It smells like springtime in Missouri. Just like the flowering trees that we had in my backyard when I was growing up. My father just passed away and this is just what I needed to remind me of home now that I live thousands of miles away.

CHESAPEAKE BAY CANDLE Peace + Tranquility
In case getting ready for the upcoming holiday season doesn’t spark joy, breathe in some peace and tranquility in the form of a scented candle. In case you were wondering, “peace & tranquility” smells like “a natural elixir of tropical water lily and fresh floral notes blend sweetly with a duo of pear and peach,” which makes perfect scents (get it?) to us. Says one candle lighter, “The scent was perfect: not overly strong with citrus undertones. Was clean & uplifting, my 1o year old daughter even commented, ‘smell makes me smile.’ I would agree. ”

LOVE HAPPY Plaid Runner
What will go with those rustic plaid throw pillow covers you just ordered? Glad you asked. This anti-slip runner is made from high-quality and environmentally-friendly materials and looks as great in the bathroom as it does in the hall. It’s also great for layering, which we didn’t even know was a thing. Says one rug layering expert, “I like to layer rugs under the door mats to give a little extra color and style. Looks just as good as the more expensive rugs in Amazon. Love it! Plan to buy another one as a gift to daughter.”
