Are you hosting a fall, Thanksgiving or Christmas gathering in your home this year? PSA …. if you’re in the States, we have just 37 days before Thanksgiving (ahhh!). I am actually SO excited about hosting Thanksgiving this year! Last year things were pretty chaotic and we didn’t even have a kitchen, so you best believe I’ll be savoring the more calm atmosphere this year.

Now that there is a fall chill in the air, I have started to work on making my home cozy and comfortable (if you missed my post on bringing our sectional to our living room you can read it here, and my post on texture is here).

I’m more motivated to pull spaces together knowing that soon we’ll have friends and family gathered together for holidays and of course, just in general we’ll be curling up here more often trying to stay warm and comfy. Jack’s already got the comfy part down!

In today’s post you’ll find inviting spaces and 5 must haves for your fall rooms!

1. An inviting conversation area for people to gather.

A set of cozy chairs and bookcases filled with books will invite everyone to curl up and stay awhile.

2. A warm mood with lamps and flickering flames.

(No fireplace? No worries, battery operated or real candles on a shelf or table stand in just fine.)

4. A few touchable winter textiles in the living room.

Try faux fur blankets and pillows on furnishings and add a rug to ground your conversation area.

    Oh gosh…fall (and winter) really are about “cozy.” I’ve set out my old brass beehive candlesticks (and lighting beeswax candles at night) and threw comfy blankets on the couches. They’ve been appreciated as the temps are dipping at night. Still dreaming of rain though (I live in Northern CA)!!

    I love cozying up my house for fall! I’m anxious to start up my wood stove, but it’s been far too warm, so scented candles have been my go to!

    Getting cool at night, so 4 blankets have been placed in a woven basket next to the fireplace to cozy up with in the evenings. We will be hosting Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners with overnight guests this year. Looking forward to extending warm hospitality to our loved ones and friends. Contemplating a Christmas open house as well for Church family & neighbors, but nothing concrete yet. Haven’t held an open house before, so..baby steps. lol. Love your inspiration photos of cozified rooms. Especially the ones with loads of books! We have a library in our home and it’s my favorite room in our home (besides the kitchen, of course!). ❤️ Books really warm a space. ???

    I just love fall too! Down here in Florida we don’t really get fall but I always bring out the candles and cozy blankets to make it feel more like fall.
    I love the first picture with the bookshelves and gorgeous fireplace! :)

    Hi Melissa! I love the faux fur decor, but haven’t gotten any because of the acrylic/polyester etc. issues. I only buy natural, breathable materials. What are your thoughts on bringing in those textiles with babies in the house?? Thanks in advance!

    I love the cozy feel I get from the fireplace. Actually its a toss up between the fireplace and Jack. I miss my
    own furry friend who used to crawl into my lap in front of the fire. Thank you!
