There’s something magical about autumn in Southern Wisconsin — crisp mornings, golden leaves, and evenings that practically beg for a cozy blanket and a cup of cider. This season, the trend is all about natural warmth and timeless comfort. Whether you’re styling your porch, refreshing your living room, or dreaming about your next home, here’s how to make your space fall-ready in 2025.

1️⃣ Bring the Outside In

Nature-inspired design is still leading the way this year. Layer textures like linen, rattan, and reclaimed wood, and add organic touches such as dried florals, eucalyptus, or a simple bowl of seasonal fruit.
Pro tip: Trade bright orange for rust, mustard, and olive tones — it’s a sophisticated take on the traditional fall palette.

2️⃣ Layer the Lighting

As the days get shorter, lighting becomes the key to coziness. Mix table lamps, candles, and soft string lights for an inviting glow. Cluster candles of different heights or styles to create easy, effortless warmth.

3️⃣ Refresh Your Entryway

Boost your curb appeal with a simple, elegant approach: a grapevine wreath, pumpkins in neutral tones (white, sage, or blush), and layered doormats for added texture. Top it off with a plaid throw or rustic lantern by your front door for a picture-perfect welcome.
