Are you ready to switch out your sunny, summer decor for something a little more in tune with the changing weather? Sure, it may still be hot where you are, but as the temperature cools and we shift towards moving back indoors, you should make sure your home matches the mood of the season. Crate and Barrel is in tune with what your home needs for autumn: earth tones, cozy textures, and furniture that's warm and welcoming for friends and family. Check out a few of these highlights from their fall catalog.
Kitchen and Dining
An easy and inexpensive way to change the look of your kitchen for a new season is to buy new dishtowels. The Fall Market Dishtowel is just under $6 and features autumn colors and retro styled fruits and vegetables.
If you're looking to make a bit more of an investment on new cookware, consider copper pots and pans. The copper tones will warm up the room significantly more than stainless steel and will last you a long time. An eight piece Mauviel set will run you $938, but you can pick up pieces individually starting at $59.95. If you don't want to replace your cookware, consider the classic look of a KitchenAid Copper Stand Mixer ($499.95).
Fall means Thanksgiving, and if you're hosting your friends and family this year, make sure your dining area is up to snuff. The 104 inch Basque Honey Dining Table ($999) has plenty of room for the whole family, and the bench seating option is an extra cozy way to enjoy a meal together. If you don't need so much elbow room, the Basque Honey style also comes in an 82 inch version ($799) and a 40 inch square version ($499).
Bedroom
Brand new bedding isn't always budget friendly, but if your nightly resting place is in dire need of a makeover, consider spicing up your existing comforter with new accent pillows. The Imaran Pillow ($36.95) and Tasana Pillow ($26.95) both come in warm and exotic earth tones, and the latter gets in on the zig zag trend that is everywhere this year. For a darker room, you could pair them with a brown comforter, but they would look especially crisp and modern contrasted against white bedding like featured in the fall catalog. Plus, you can double your dollar and switch these pillows out between the bedroom and living room to vary your look.
Living Room
Crate and Barrel's fall catalog is full of pretty, autumn colors, but mustard is especially prevalent. If it's a color you love, consider upgrading your couch to the Silhouette Sofa in ceylon, which is marked down to $849 for Crate and Barrel's upholstery sale, which ends October 16. It will look warm and inviting for fall with deep orange, brown and red accent pillows and throws, but don't think it'll look out of place once the seasons change again. For winter, burgundy accents will make it festive for the holidays, but you can dress up the look even more by adding some black and white details. A soft, cornflower blue throw will soften it up for spring, and bright jewel tone pillows will make it cheery again for summer.
Anywhere Accents
Love that mustard color but don't see yourself replacing your couch? No worries, Crate and Barrel has plenty of other ways to bring a little ochre into your home. The Akina Vase and Malena Vase are handcrafted and are a steal at $29.95 and $59.95, respectively. I like the way they're styled for fall; the barren branches look sleek and modern. Like the Silhouette Sofa, these pieces are easy to incorporate into other seasons; they'd look fabulous and sunny with bright pink flowers for spring and summer.
Want an easy update for your current candles? Check out the Hakkari Hurricane Candleholder ($19.95). Not only does the leaf motif help you get into the mood for fall, the cut out details will look a little spooky when lit up for Halloween.
This Leaf Platter ($26.95) might be meant for meals, but why not see where else it will fit into your home? Use it as a catch-all for keys and change by your front door, or keep it on your nightstand for jewelry and stray knick-knacks. If you'd prefer to keep it for serving purposes, consider picking up these coordinating napkin rings ($2.95 each) for a tabletop spread that even Martha Stewart would envy.
