The Little Glass House

Fall in California is quite a bit different than in other parts of the country. Our days tend to be warm and sunny, with cool crisp evenings. It’s my favorite kind of weather, but definitely not what one thinks of for fall. In our homes, I like to bring in the neutrals…winter whites and lots of cozy textures. Organic natural items such as white pumpkins, plants, and even driftwood lend a bit of autumn flavor to the decor.

In The Little Glass House, which is flooded with sunshine all day long, a neutral fall palette lets the outdoors in and the artwork shine!

Neutral pillows from IndieBungalow, a cable knit blanket, a bowl of corks, and some white pumpkins equal cozy California fall decor.

While still too warm for a fire in the fireplace, candles, a few pumpkins, plants and textures, keep this corner feeling cozy.

In the bedroom, texture from a wall hanging by Will & Atlas , a macrame runner, baskets, a sheepskin rug , and one tiny pumpkin make for a serene quiet place to dream.

At the Big Sur House, there is a lot more wood and an organic rustic feel. The easiest way to change the mood is by swapping to pillows and throw in neutral tones. Of course, little white pumpkins make their way into this home as well and hang around until Thanksgiving!

The Big Sur House
This room is brimming with soft neutrals along with touches of brown and black. Both a wicker and leather basket are filled with throws, ensuring that everyone has their own when there is a chill in the air.

In the book nook neutral pillows from Serena & Lily, a textured throw from Porch, and a sheepskin rug make this the perfect spot to curl up with a good read.

I realize that many of you love the rust, golden, and orange tones of autumn. However, keep in mind, neutrals are another option if you’re not into an abundance of fall decor. And an added bonus, it makes it easy to transition to a white Christmas! 😉
