The warm days may still feel like summer is stubbornly holding strong, but when October arrives a curious phenomenon occurs: Once-dormant nesting instincts are instantly activated, beckoning us toward all things plaid and pumpkin spice. And just like that … our annual rituals of nesting, hosting and celebrating begin! 

While the season of entertaining can feel like a whirlwind, the key to hosting with aplomb is decorating with intention to create a space that is stylish, soulful and special for both you and your guests. Think thoughtful touches, layered textures, cozy-chic accents and warm hues.

So we’ve curated some of our favorite pieces and a few tips for fall nesting that will elevate your space for the fall gathering season and beyond — whether you’re the type who has already embraced a full-on harvest theme in your home or you’re just starting to put out a few fall pieces.
