MAKE IT CUTE

It's official: fall is finally taking over our feeds. With warm textures and cozy autumn decor trending everywhere on socials, now is the perfect excuse to give your room a makeover.

From soft blankets to flickering candles, here are 5 must-haves to transform your space into a warm, inviting hangout haven this season. Call it cabincore!

Knit throw blankets

Nothing screams fall quite like a chunky knit throw blanket. Whether you're binging Gossip Girl or diving into a Harry Potter book (just a few of our fave pastimes for this szn), wrapping yourself in a knit blanket just hits different.

Choose rich fall colors like burnt orange, mustard yellow or maroon to give your space an extra pop of warmth. Layering up your bed is the perfect way to create a soft, comfy space that you'll never want to leave. Sorry, not sorry.

Scented candles

If fall had a signature fragrance, it would 100p be a blend of pumpkin spice, cinnamon and warm vanilla. What better way to bring that into your room than with some yummy fall-scented candles?

Not only do they smell amazing, but they instantly create a calming atmosphere. Light one while you do homework or relax and your room will feel like a mini autumn wonderland (yes, it's a thing).

Maple leaf fairy lights

Fairy lights are a room decor classic, but for fall, why not switch things up with some maple leaf-shaped fairy lights? The soft, twinkling lights will give your room an enchanted, woodsy feel (think: T Swift folklore era), making it the perf place to chill out.

These lights are a fun, playful way to bring the outdoors in—minus t all the raking, ofc! Hang them above your bed, around your mirror, or even draped across your windowsill for that perfect autumn glow. Trust, your space will look straight out of a Pinterest board.

Warm-toned pillows

It's time to swap out your summer brights for fall-appropriate throw pillows. To really capture that autumn aesthetic, go for warm, earthy tones like rust, mustard or deep greens.

For an extra festive touch, mix in pillows shaped like pumpkins or ghosts. It's an easy way to add both comfort and a dash of spooky season spirit to your space.

Indoor lanterns

@mablehomestyle

If you're looking for a way to add some rustic, cabin-in-the-woods vibes to your room, indoor lanterns are the way to go. Lanterns cast a soft, golden glow and are a great alternative to harsh overhead lighting. (Psst, you can even snag battery-powered ones so that you don't have to worry about avoiding open flames).

Scatter a few around your room, such as your desk, nightstand, or windowsill, for that extra cozy touch. You'll feel like you're in your own personal autumn retreat—you're welcome!
