Eucalyptus Garland

A garland of eucalyptus works as a solid base that can be used to transition your décor from fall to winter with ease. In the fall, pair this string of beautiful, green leaves with white pumpkins (real or faux) to achieve a classic, upscale and timeless feel. For a modern farmhouse approach, this eucalyptus strand goes well with wooden, beaded décor and natural tones.

In the winter, opt for more color by adding cranberry, pomegranate or dried orange slices. This strand of garland can bring life to a mantle, adorn the family table during your holiday meal and bring cheer to your front door in the shape of a wreath. Twist the garland with a strand of pine then adorn with ornaments and string lights to create a seasonal warmth that only winter can bring.

Gold Candlesticks

Introducing warmer hues into your décor during the cooler months is a contrast that will lift your spirits as daylight fades earlier and earlier each day. Gold candlesticks are an easy and welcome addition to any mantle or table, and even compliment the garland mentioned above! Autumn is a great season to explore different textures next to the sophisticated structure of a gold candlestick. Natural elements such as wood, wicker and clay are on trend and easy to style for fall holidays.

Winter is a great time to be playful with colored taper candles and jewel-toned ornaments. Create a classic, elegant display above a roaring fireplace, and watch the flickering flames of your candles dance to holiday music. The contrast of the bright, symmetrical shape of a gold candlestick amongst the subdued, organic and free-flowing shape created by a eucalyptus garland creates a visually interesting display that infuses a room with style.

Throw Pillows

Throw pillows with interchangeable covers are a staple in transitional home décor. With removable pillow covers, you can easily wash them, and swap them out each season without breaking the bank! In order to visually anchor your set of throw pillows, opt for an 18"x18’’ pillow cover that’s neutral and matches your sofa. Use a 12"x20’’ throw pillow as an accent that will represent the seasonal aesthetic you’re trying to achieve. In the example below, we chose a burnt orange for autumn and a forest green for winter. Both covers are velvet, which brings a warm textile to the mix and makes your couch extra cozy during the cooler months. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns and textures!
