The September Edit
Every season has a rhythm, and September marks the shift into fall. Days grow shorter, evenings cool, and our homes become the backdrop for comfort, gathering, and ease. The September Edit is a guide to embracing these changes—layering warmth, introducing seasonal notes, and creating a home that feels both timeless and in step with autumn’s beauty.
Shifting the Atmosphere
Fall doesn’t require a complete transformation—just thoughtful adjustments. Swap lighter linens for throws in cashmere or wool, trade breezy cotton pillows for velvet, and bring in textures that invite touch. These quiet layers instantly signal the change of season.
Color, Depth, and Drama
Autumn is the perfect time to introduce richer tones. Ochre, rust, plum, and moss add warmth without overwhelming. A single velvet pillow or a ceramic vase in an earthy tone is often all it takes to shift a room’s mood. The goal is subtle continuity, not seasonal gimmicks—color that feels elevated and enduring.
The Fragrance of Fall
Atmosphere is as much about fragrance as it is about sight. A well-chosen candle or diffuser adds an invisible layer of design. This season, I love:
Nest Pumpkin Chai Candle — An intoxicating fragrance that feels instantly like fall. Wild pumpkin and spicy masala chai are combined with cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon to create a cozy autumn ambiance. SHOP IT HERE
Maison Louis Marie No. 4 Bois de Balincourt Diffuser — Grounding, earthy, and elegant with a sultry woody scent of sandalwood, vetiver and amber SHOP IT HERE
Tom Ford Oud Candle — The Oud candle fills the room with the dense, captivating scent of a tree known for thousands of years and more precious than gold. SHOP HERE

Layered Comfort
Nothing says fall like the invitation to linger. A cashmere throw draped across a sofa, or velvet pillows in deep jewel tones, make a room feel instantly more luxurious. These are details guests may not consciously name, but they feel them deeply.

First Impressions
As the season changes, so does the experience of coming home. A refreshed entry sets the tone:
Seasonal wreaths in seasonal foliage that frame the door beautifully. Magnolia is a phenomenal option.
A new natural fiber doormat—both functional and welcoming for damp and leafy fall weather
Seasonal planters filled with fall plantings—gardenias, chrysanthemums, or even sculptural evergreens—to create a sense of arrival.
Lighting the Evenings
As daylight fades earlier, lighting becomes the anchor of the home. Dimmers, layered lamps, and sconces add warmth and intimacy. A brushed brass lamp with a linen shade casts a completely different mood than polished nickel with glass—these choices quietly shape the atmosphere of your evenings.
Bringing It All Together
The September Edit is about subtle, thoughtful shifts. It’s layering comfort, introducing warmth, and setting the stage for the gatherings to come. With just a few intentional updates, your home can feel deeply attuned to the season—inviting, elegant, and ready to be lived in.
