6 Easy Fall Decorating Ideas to Turn Your Living Room Into a "Hygge" Escape

Fall is officially here and it is our favorite time of the year, particularly now that we live in Reno, Nevada where we can enjoy all four seasons!  Nature is really "showing off" this time of the year with changing colors! We love the soul warming and soothing "earth tones" all around us – and they also feature prominently in the Fall/Winter collection colors we have curated for you.

In Nordic countries, fall brings the "hygge" out in full force! As the days are getting darker our homes should provide a cozy refuge from the elements.  Soothing, muted pastel and neutral colors, such as warm grays and whites are always safe options for a calming and relaxing fall home. New arrivals and designs from our Nordic brands offer great accent pieces, complimenting neutral colors that will freshen up your living room décor for the fall.

Create your calming sanctuary with long-lasting, ecological and sustainable natural materials, such as linen, wool and wood. Our adaptable and timeless Nordic design classics will easily turn your home into a warm and inviting place year around.

We have rounded up our favorite "hygge" designs for your living room this fall. Let's take a closer look!
