October Favorites: Harvest Hues & Polished Glow
Fall is for layering—textures, tones, and those small gleaming details that make a room (and an outfit) feel considered. This month’s edit mixes cozy classics with a little sparkle and a touch of modern whimsy.
Here’s what I’m loving now—and how I’d style each piece.
1) A Forever Fall Arrangement
Why I love it: A sculptural, seasonally rich arrangement that lasts well beyond pumpkin season.
Style tip: Park it on a console or kitchen island to pull your autumn palette together.

2) Slim, Chic Light for Moody Evenings
Why I love it: A petite brass sconce that reads tailored, not fussy—perfect flanking art or a mirror.
Style tip: Install in pairs to create a soft, flattering glow along a hallway or above a console.

3) The Statement Wallpaper Mural
Why I love it: Evoking the spirit of the English countryside, Kingsley layers richly shaded verdure and a distant mountain horizon with charming details—a carved fountain, a pillared gazebo—for a Brontë-worthy scenic. This four-panel mural is nuanced and elegant, adding heritage and presence to any space.
Style tip: Let it be the hero—behind a bed as a headboard wall, in a dining room for moody dinners, or greeting guests in an entry paired with a slim console and brass sconces.

4) The Effortless Fall Dress
Why I love it: Polished rib knit + elbow sleeves = wear-now, layer-later.
Style tip: Belt it with boots for dinners out; throw on a blazer for client meetings.

5) A Chair with Glow
Why I love it: A classic side chair in a warm harvest finish—tailored and welcoming.
Style tip: Use two at the ends of a console, or float one by a bookcase as a perch-with-purpose.

6) Pattern Underfoot (That Plays Nicely with Everything)
Why I love it: A soft, floral-forward rug that’s pretty without shouting—instantly rooms-up a space.
Style tip: Anchor a reading corner with this rug, a swivel chair, and a petite floor lamp.

7) Everyday-Icon Jewelry
Why I love it: A classic five-motif bracelet that adds just the right shimmer to sweaters and silk alike.
Style tip: Stack with a watch or wear solo for a quiet-luxury moment.

8) Faux Leather with Old-World Soul
Why I love it: Matto is a faux leather with authentically aged, aniline-leather character—old-world charm without the upkeep. The sophisticated, patina-inspired look and subtle oiled finish add durability for family spaces.
Style tip: Upholster benches, dining seats, or an ottoman that sees daily use; or line the back of built-ins for a tailored, wipe-clean layer that makes books and objects pop.

Design it your way (and make it last)
Think in layers: start with an ivory rug for softness, add a harvest-tone chair for warmth, crown an entry or dining wall with the Kingsley mural, and dial in evening glow with slim brass sconces. Introduce wipe-clean faux leather on seats or built-ins, then finish with a sculptural fall arrangement and a few lacquered accents. This is the perfect palette for a fall refresh—elevated, livable, and timeless.
