Every stylish host knows that when throwing a dinner party, the tablescape is just as important as the food itself. Especially during the fall, when hearty meals and cozy cocktails are served, no accoutrement complements the dining experience quite like fall-themed table linens.

From tartan tablecloths and autumn-toned runners to heritage-inspired napkins and matching placemats, fall table linens can set the tone for a fall feast well before the meal is served. These fall table decor ideas act as the foundation upon which you can style even more season-specific accessories – like warm metal candle holders, harvest-inspired floral arrangements, and even fall toile dinnerware.

While fall table linens in traditional autumn colors like browns, greens, and oranges are the classic choice, we’re seeing fall color trends adopt shades like mauve, mustard, and navy blue this year – and we’re eager to bring these colors to our tablescapes. Whether you need all new linens for the season or just a few pieces to set the scene for your next dinner party, shop the chicest fall table linens below.

The only thing scarier than bad Halloween decorations? Really great ones that disappear into the darkness. After all, Halloween happens at night, when a steady stream of trick-or-treaters can end up stumbling through your landscape in pursuit of candy. So why not make the most of the darkness with eerie, atmospheric lighting that brings your Halloween decorating to life, both indoors and out?

The trick is that the best Halloween lights don’t actually look like lights at all. They cosplay as glowing ghosts haunting the length of your console, solar jack-o’-lanterns that scare with their no-charge simplicity, rattan witch hats suspended over spookeasy dinners, candy corn twisting ’round topiaries, and skeleton hands popping straight out of the grass to make sure no one loses their footing before the front door. Is that a Tiffany lamp? Hardly. But that cobweb-clad colored-glass number bears an eerie resemblance.

For the best outdoor Halloween decor, the spookiest powder room setup, and your creepiest corners in between, don’t venture to the dark side without these 24 Halloween lights that double as decor.

The Round is Homes & Gardens' collection of the must-have pieces shaping styles, trends, and ideas. It brings together thoughtfully curated products that express a single moment – offering readers inspiring ways to style their homes through seasonal themes, emerging looks, and everyday pieces.

If it couldn’t have been an article of clothing in another life, it’s probably the wrong living room lamp for fall 2026. This season, we're saying pleats, please, cutting through the shortening days with the kind of coziness only rich materials and even richer techniques can provide. Velvet, leather, linen, fringe, rattan: from coffee table to floor, your living room lighting is winning best dressed.

Anthropologie sidles up to your armchair of choice with oversized robin’s-egg velvet shades and bullion fringe. Serena & Lily insists leather isn’t just for loafers, working pebbled and suede finishes into its coastal vocabulary. Is that Jane Birkin’s basket? No, it’s GreenRow’s handwoven Olivia Braided Base, a neoclassical rattan urn style that I, too, would tote around town if I could. And while the nights get longer, Olive Ateliers’ Agatha goes longer still, trailing lithe linen bows over silvered brass.

From faded florals to sculptural King Charles spaniels, they're rich, interesting, and so much more than insurance against the big light. Ahead, 24 reasons I'm looking forward to staying in.

The Cut is all about Homes & Gardens helping you invest in pieces that feel current now, but won’t date as trends shift. Finds that elevate a room today and still feel right years from now. Whether it’s a sculptural accent chair or a chic pendant light, our editors will curate an edit that balances style, longevity, and quality. Consider this your shortcut to smart, beautiful shopping.

Call it hygge, hibernation, or simply getting horizontal, but if there’s ever a time to create a seriously chic hideaway, it’s now. Shorter days mean more time in the bedroom – not necessarily sleeping, but unwinding after a summer well spent.

For me, that means as many textured Joon Loloi throw pillows as humanly possible, plush Lola Blankets faux-fur covers – foreshadowing future après adventures – draped at the foot of the bed, and, behind it all, an Anthropologie paneled tapestry headboard.

On either nightstand: two forms of ambient light. The analog kind is a 'heady and holy' perfumed candle from Soho Home, inspired by cathedral altars, housed in a gold-stamped vessel destined for a second life holding trinkets. The modern option, a portable lamp from Soho Home, glows softly through a tassel-trimmed linen shade.

The snug room ideas continue up the walls, where favorite memories from the past few sun-soaked months get an instant dose of old-world glamour, gathered into a triptych of gilded Renaissance-style frames from Frameology. Underfoot, a West Elm moss-green vine rug brings a touch of the outdoors inside for this decidedly indoor season.

It’s officially time to retire those breezy linen sheets. Ahead, every rich little detail I rely on as a style editor to transform my bedroom into an enveloping fall retreat I’ll never want to leave.

The Round is Homes & Gardens' collection of the must-have pieces shaping styles, trends, and ideas. It brings together thoughtfully curated products that express a single moment – offering readers inspiring ways to style their homes through seasonal themes, emerging looks, and everyday pieces.

While everyone else is savoring their final days of white linen, I’m using the Labor Day sales to fall smarter, not harder. If there’s anything I’ve learned interviewing designers this season, it’s that an autumnal reset rarely requires more than a richer texture or moodier hue – and with discounts up to 70% off, now’s the time for both.

The brown couch era is officially over, so naturally I fell hard for a sub-$700 lavender sofa at Wayfair. At Anthropologie, up to 40% off sweetens the spirited little things: eyelet-trimmed switch plates, a LALA Reimagined wall sconce, and a marble-topped Fern bar cabinet for the first red wine of the season.

For more horizontal pursuits, Joanna Gaines’ moody navy sheets and a Heidi Caillier x Joon Loloi pillow are giving my bed the celebrity treatment. Brooklinen is taking 25% off all bath and up to 50% off bundles, while Nordstrom has a Le Creuset gem for my more vertical plans of Friendsgiving and whatnot.

And since time indoors means more mahjong (obviously), I’m rounding out the long weekend with TOV Furniture’s dedicated table. Cozy chenille meets tempered glass, all for a song.

Your fall facelift starts here.

Halloween is one of those holidays that’s inherently nostalgic – it reminds me of being young, dressing up with my siblings, and trotting around the neighborhood collecting candy from the spookiest houses. And for 2026, I want to channel that same energy – which is exactly why I’ll be staging my house with vintage-inspired Halloween decorations.

Bring on the kitschiness and the playful charm; I want to feel like I’m back in the '90s with my Halloween decor this year. Luckily, it seems to be a big theme with some of my favorite brands too, who are bringing out far chicer renditions of what used to reside in my childhood loft.

Hanging ghosts are a must, like this set of three from Pottery Barn. They remind me of the handmade apparitions my neighbors used to suspend from the trees in their front lawn. Terrain’s frightfully festive critters will bedeck my seasonal mantel – reminiscent of the felt forms my mother still stages around our home at the start of spooky season. The most important Halloween decoration of them all – the candy basket, that is – will be this animated witch hand bowl from Amazon. Even though I was terrified of these as a kid, I can't help but feel nostalgic when looking at one now.

This Halloween, don’t let an aesthetic or fleeting trends get in the way of the nostalgic charm of the holiday itself. Instead, lean into your memories by decorating with vintage-inspired Halloween finds.

The kitchen truly comes into its own as we head towards fall and early winter – affectionately referred to as the 'ber months. The cooler temperatures mark the return of deeper tones, seasonal patterns, homemade dishes, and, of course, the Thanksgiving celebrations.

And nothing welcomes the season like refreshing your kitchen ideas, whether it's introducing new furniture you've been meaning to find for a while, replacing cracked dishes before hosting season begins, or a small refresh with unique hardware. Thankfully, Anthropologie's Labor Day Sale is filled with characterful finds to get your cooking space ready for the season ahead.

Warming colors, charming patterns, and dark wood tones that add a dose of heritage style to your kitchen are all features of the pieces currently discounted, with up to 40% off. It's an opportunity to get your hands on those coveted items you've had your eye on while they're discounted. And quite frankly, no one does unique, personality-filled kitchenware, decor, and storage quite like Anthro.

That's why we've curated an edit of the best kitchen finds in the Anthropologie Labor Day sale, so you can save time scrolling and get your hands on your favorites before they sell out. But be quick – they always go quickly.

What's small in size, big in personality, and designed specifically to hold your favorite cocktail? The answer: a drink table – the furniture trend that every brand, designer, and style editor is obsessed with right now.

They may be tiny (some are designed to just hold one drink on a very chic coaster), but they are a surprisingly versatile piece that really comes into their own going into hosting season. Because of their diminutive nature, drink tables can move freely without taking up lots of space – making them great for dotting around a living room as needed. They’re the perfect table for small living rooms, too, giving you a spot to rest a drink in places where coffee tables and side tables simply can't fit. And since they’re made as accent details, drink tables can be as stylish, decorative, and design-driven as you want them to be – read: go bolder with pattern, textures, colors, and materials.

From West Elm's scalloped version to Arhaus's leaf-inspired form, drink tables are the tiny yet practical touches that stylishly pull together living room schemes. Find the perfect drink table for your space below.

In just a few short years, a century of ‘that looks like your grandmother’s’ has gone from searing, red-cheek-inducing diss to badge of honor across fashion and home. Vintage bedding has never been cooler and, thanks to Anthropologie’s fall 2026 collection, it’s never been cozier, either.

It helps that the bedding trend naturally lends itself to layers. Stark white sateen sheets? How abrasive, how boring. Age them down to ivory instead, add a border of ruffles to boot, and let them romanticize their way out from underneath your duvet just so. Besides, what could be more grandmotherly than embroidery? It might have taken Grannie years of frustrating finger pokes to master, but Anthropologie sacrificed the blood, sweat, and tears for us, whimsifying empty corners with flourishes of vines and florals.

Of course, the flowers don’t stop there. No grandmother’s linen closet is complete without many, many of them, and these botanicals take on the look of old studies, musing the sciency illustrations that probably dotted her bedroom walls. Tapestries (having a moment in their own right) follow suit. Not even the buzzy new Barbour collaboration escapes the grandmother test: its timeless tartan throw pillows and blankets feel like something she’d have bought back in the day, had she been given the chance.

They’re the last comforting fall layers your bed was missing. And Grandma, as it turns out, knew exactly what she was doing.

Also trending between the sheets? Ice blue, the bedding color trend plucked straight from the S/S 2026 runways and, judging by a recent parade of percale, cooling things down for fall, too.

In the grand scheme of fall decor, one element signals the season with more ease than anything else: throw pillows. Swapping standard throw pillows for fall-inspired styles is one of the quickest, simplest, and most affordable ways to make a room – any room – feel fresh, inviting, and endlessly cozy for autumn.

The best fall throw pillows hint at autumn with their cozy textures, seasonally inspired prints, and tonal color schemes. Styled on a couch, a chair, or a bed, they'll evoke the warm, welcoming mood of the season and make every room feel so on-theme for fall.

Fall throw pillows in traditional fall colors will always be a classic choice – that is, the browns, greens, maroons, and amber shades that we most often associate with the season. However, recent fall color trends are diversifying the fall palette to include pinks, mauves, and chic shades of purple – and brands like Anthropologie, GreenRow, and Joon Loloi have just the pillow picks to tap into this trend. Ahead, find our favorite styles to elegantly and effortlessly refresh your home for fall.

After a summer full of weekend trips and constant travel, I’m finally back at home for fall – ready to refresh each room for cozy season. After dusting off my fall decor and layering my living space with knit throws and plaid pillows, I'm turning my attention to the bedroom – and IKEA is the first place I look.

The $45 EKTANDVINGE Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set will set the scene with its charming gingham print, grounding my room with a cozy, cabin-core feel – perfect for fall. I'll add softness and texture by layering throw pillow covers on top, like the corduroy ÅSVEIG Cushion Cover and the tufted SVARTPOPPEL Cushion Cover (each costing less than $15). Complementary decor details in fall color schemes like the PÄRLHÄGG Vase will enhance the room's aesthetic appeal, while ambient lighting like the $30 SOLKLINT Table Lamp creates the endlessly cozy mood.

For my fall bedroom refresh, I'm not focused solely on decorative details. In fact, I'm just as concerned about bedroom organization as I am coziness and comfort. Luckily, IKEA has no shortage of affordable and stylish storage ideas, including the versatile PAX BERGSBO Wardrobe, the sleek TONSTAD Cabinet, and the cute HEMMAFIXARE Case for underbed storage.

In just one shopping trip and one weekend of styling and switching, my cozy bedroom will be refreshed and neatly organized for fall – and I didn't have to spend a fortune to do so. You can do the same by shopping for everything you need for a fall bedroom refresh from IKEA below.

When Joanna Gaines dropped her new fall collection at Magnolia, we were immediately hooked. Among the soft textiles and rustic touches designed to warm up the kitchen for the cozy season, one motif stood out above the rest: scallops.

Scalloped kitchenware has established itself as one of the most charming kitchen trends for fall. From wavy-rimmed cake stands and serving platters to subtle embroidered napkins, the playful motif brings quiet joy and elegance to everyday table settings. It's a signature detail Joanna has championed for years, and one she's woven heavily across both her latest Magnolia and Target fall drops.

Like all of the best decor, the silhouette has deep historic roots, dating back to medieval decor and taking its name from the French escalope (meaning shell). Mirroring the soft curves of a seashell, the shape strikes a perfect balance between delicate beauty and practical durability for a busy kitchen. By pairing the classic wave with warm, nostalgic autumnal hues and patterns, Joanna has transformed a heritage motif into an essential seasonal upgrade. In other words, it's the perfect fall kitchen decor.

Below, shop our curated edit of Joanna's best scalloped kitchenware to bring a little wave-rimmed charm to your space this season.

Far from a fleeting fad, the scalloped edge is a classic design accent with centuries of history behind it, making it a remarkably smart investment for the home. Bringing instant character to the table, it's the easiest way to give your kitchen a soft, considered update for fall and beyond.

Outdoor decor is far from summer-only fare. If anything, autumn might be the better time to finally nail that outdoor living room. The weather is slightly cooler, the layers are better, and you realize that the indoor-looking setup you’ve been after all summer makes much more sense now than it did during a string of 100-degree scorchers.

Ever heard of outdoor bouclé? CB2’s cozy Gonçalo Campos-designed swivel chair takes the traditionally indoor-only upholstery outside, with hidden storage beneath the seat for a fawn-print Lola Blanket to swaddle yourself in once the sun sets. Outdoor rugs underfoot are a must, whether woven like humble plaid or arranged like tiles grounding a grand Italian palazzo.

From there, pattern piles onto pattern: rust-toned sofas and loveseats in houndstooth, gingham, and antiqued florals, with throw pillows to match (or deliberately not). On the coffee table, a cordless lantern from Anthropologie’s buzzy new Barbour collaboration, to make a little romance out of these increasingly early evenings.

From backyard movie nights to family gatherings around an open flame, prime patio season isn’t over yet. Ahead, every alfresco layer and indoor-worthy indulgence making me not miss summer in the slightest.

The Round is Homes & Gardens' collection of the must-have pieces shaping styles, trends, and ideas. It brings together thoughtfully curated products that express a single moment – offering readers inspiring ways to style their homes through seasonal themes, emerging looks, and everyday pieces.

It might be the end of summer, but that doesn't mean we need to rush inside as soon as September hits. In fact, the gradual shift from late summer to autumn is all the more enjoyable when you watch the seasons change from your porch, balcony, or patio.

While reading nooks are often seen inside our homes, creating a tranquil spot to watch the world go by is one of the best ways to make use of your backyard at this time of year. Outdoor reading nooks are a coveted addition as summer slowly slips into fall, and it couldn't be easier to add one to your space. All that's required is a place to perch; then you can layer in outdoor blankets and throw pillows to make it cozy, a side table for a cup of coffee, and of course, lighting to add ambiance – portable lamps work best.

As summer draws to a close and all that outdoor hosting starts to move inside, redefine how you use your patio, porch, or backyard for the next few weeks by turning it into a cozy reading retreat. Inspired by the late-summer transition, these shopping picks have been curated to help you design a backyard reading nook in just a weekend afternoon.

With the first inkling of autumn finally in the air, that last backyard to-do can officially no longer be avoided. For me, that’s dealing with my ugly outdoor storage. So, in a last-ditch attempt to make my small backyard feel larger and lighter while there’s still time to enjoy it, I’m swapping bulky plastic boxes for IKEA’s KOLBJÖRN collection.

Taking a cue from a great credenza or wardrobe, it’s the sleek-lined, invitingly neutral outdoor storage I’ve spent an entire summer wishing I had: something I can proudly leave en vue for company, allow into the background of photos, and brush past without grimacing. Made from durable, rust-protected steel, the cabinets and shelves are designed for balconies, patios, gardens, and, in a rather ironic full-circle moment, garages. But with indoor-level good looks like these, I’d happily put them to work in potential wet zones like bathrooms and entryways, too.

There are several iterations within the tight eight-piece collection, and because it’s modular, you can iterate even further yourself, mixing, matching, and stacking your way to something approaching a bespoke storage shed, even when square footage is decidedly not on your side.

Personally, I’m going for both a cabinet and a shelf, hiding a season's worth of un-chic outdoor necessities behind much better-looking doors while reserving the open steel frame for things I actually want to see. Potted plants, for one (Martha Stewart recently gifted me a money tree, which I am caring for with my life), plus outdoor dinnerware and glassware I want within arm’s reach when I entertain.

The days may be getting shorter, but this clever two-, three-, four-, or however-many-in-one switch is my hero move for making the most of the alfresco moments I have left.

From a few pool toys too many to those chair cushions you’ve been meaning to switch out, IKEA’s SUNDSÖ cabinet hides the ugly aftermath of a season well spent behind a splash of brilliant blue.
