Cozy autumn decor with warm throws, candles, small pumpkins and dried leaves

Autumn is when cozy comes home. As the light softens and the air cools, a few seasonal touches make your space feel like the warmest place to be. Here are 14 cozy fall decor ideas — most you can do with what you already own plus a few small finds.

Layer up the textiles

1. Swap light throws for chunky knits and flannel in autumn tones.
2. Add cushions in rust, mustard, deep green and warm brown.
3. A heavier rug or a layered one underfoot for warmth.

Warm light and scent

4. Candles, lots of them

Autumn is candle season. Cluster a few in warm scents — cinnamon, fig, woodsmoke, chai.
