Embrace the Transition: Preparing Your Home from Summer to Fall

As the warm days of summer gradually give way to cozy feel of fall, it's time to infuse your living space with the enchanting spirit of the changing season. At Lavender Fields, we believe that each season brings its own unique charm, and transitioning from summer to fall is the perfect opportunity to create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere in your home.

Bring in Warm Textures and Earthy Tones

As the weather cools down, swap out lightweight fabrics for chunkier throws, plush cushions, and soft rugs in rich earthy tones. Consider introducing warm shades of rust, mustard, and deep greens to your decor palette. These colors not only evoke the feeling of fall but also add a sense of comfort to your space.

Add Nature-Inspired Accents 

Incorporate natural elements like dried leaves, pinecones, and branches into your decor. A centerpiece of dried flowers or a vase filled with twigs can add a rustic touch to your dining table or mantle. These small details bring the outdoors in, bridging the gap between summer's freshness and fall's coziness. You can also add these elements with throw pillows and blankets like those from our Designers Guild line.

Layer Your Home with Cozy Throw Blankets, Pillows, and Rugs

Layering is key to creating a cozy ambiance. Drape your sofas and chairs with throw blankets, mix and match cushions of different textures, and layer rugs for extra warmth underfoot. These layers not only add visual interest but also invite you to snuggle up and unwind.

Embrace a Candlelit Glow

As the days get shorter, embrace the magic of candlelight. Place scented candles around your home to create a soothing and aromatic atmosphere. Opt for fragrances like cinnamon, vanilla, or warm apple pie to evoke the essence of fall.

Play with Textures

One of the easiest ways to add depth and interest to a neutral color scheme is through textures. Layer soft linen cushions with a chunky knit throw or introduce a plush rug to contrast with sleek furniture. The interplay of textures elevates your decor and lends an inviting, tactile quality to the space.

Don't shy away from introducing metallic elements into your neutral haven. Copper, gold, or silver accents bring a touch of glamour and visual intrigue. Incorporate metallic finishes through decor pieces like vases, mirrors, or table accessories.

Bold Statements with Art

Infuse personality and vibrancy by adorning your walls with bold artworks. A striking painting or an intricate wall sculpture in neutral tones can become a captivating focal point. These pieces add a touch of drama while harmonizing seamlessly with your overall design.

Pattern Play

Experiment with subtle patterns in your textiles and decor items. Incorporating gentle geometric patterns, delicate stripes, or understated botanical prints can add a sense of movement and complexity to the space, all within the neutral color palette.

Pops of Color Accents

Neutral doesn't mean devoid of color. Select a single accent color, such as a muted blush or a soft teal, to punctuate your decor. Scatter a few accessories like cushions, ceramics, or curtains in this hue to add some depth to your home.

Beyond Opulence: How to Achieve the Quiet Luxury Look in Your Home on Any Budget

Finding serenity in your home is crucial amidst the hustle and bustle of an increasingly busy, stressful world. As our lives become more fast-paced and technology-driven, there is a growing trend in the world of interior design that seeks to create spaces that evoke a sense of calm and tranquility. Welcome to the world of "Quiet Luxury:" – a design philosophy that celebrates understated elegance. Think the Roy family on Succession: logo-free cashmere sweaters, expansive and luxurious homes with the finest of everything (but not shouting it from the rooftops). 

Quiet Luxury is a departure from the opulence and ostentation that has defined the luxury market in the past. Instead, it focuses on a refined aesthetic that stands the test of time. At its core, this trend embraces the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, valuing imperfection, asymmetry, and the natural beauty of materials and textures.

What is the color palette of a Quiet Luxury home? 

The color palette of Quiet Luxury is a blend of soothing neutrals and muted tones. Soft whites, gentle greys, warm beiges, and earthy hues dominate the spaces.  These colors also allow natural light to play a significant role, fostering a connection with the outdoors and bringing a sense of balance into the home. Don't be afraid to mix textures: grasscloth wallpapers, boucle armchairs, and mohair sofas are all welcome in these spaces. 

Modern History's artisan-crafted furniture is ideal for a Quiet Luxury home. Shop Modern History at Lavender Fields. 


Quiet Luxury and Minimalism

Decluttering is another hallmark of this trend. In a world filled with excess, Quiet Luxury seeks to create spaces free from unnecessary distractions. This minimalistic approach to decor emphasizes the importance of selecting pieces thoughtfully, ensuring each item serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose.

Crisp, clean, luxury bedding like Sferra is a hallmark of the quiet luxury trend. Shop Sferra bedding at Lavender Fields. 


Where to source Quiet Luxury decor

One of the key elements of Quiet Luxury is the use of natural materials. Wood, stone, and natural fabrics like linen, silk, and wool take center stage, reflecting a deep appreciation for the organic beauty of nature.

Textiles also play a significant role in Quiet Luxury decor. Luxurious, soft fabrics like cashmere, silk, and wool bring tactile comfort to the living space. Layering these textiles adds depth and warmth to the overall design, creating an inviting sanctuary where residents can unwind and recharge.

Our Sferra Pettine collection is the epitome of Quiet Luxury. Shop Sferra bedding online at Lavender Fields. 


How to embrace a Quiet Luxury look in your home

Quiet Luxury is about building a home slowly and with intention - no cheap Amazon furniture here. Instead, one slowly collects and decorates, building a space with their most beloved items.  

Another hallmark of Quiet Luxury is investing in the finer things (within your budget). Get the nice sheets from Sferra, the plush robe you've had your eye on, invest in the handmade dining table. Not only are investment pieces eco-friendly, it feels good to be surrounded by intentionally-selected, beautifully-made objets and furniture.

By embracing natural materials, neutral colors, and minimalism, homeowners can create a serene haven that stands as a timeless testament to the essence of luxury – finding beauty in simplicity. So, if you seek a space that exudes tranquility and offers an escape from the chaos of the world, the Quiet Luxury trend might just be the perfect fit for you.

Straight Out of a Nancy Meyers Movie: How to Achieve the Coastal Grandmother Decor Look

The Coastal Grandmother interior design trend offers a delightful blend of nostalgia and coastal charm, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of cherished family beach vacations (and our favorite Nancy Meyers movies!). This style captures the essence of coastal living while incorporating vintage elements and treasured heirlooms. We'll show you  how to achieve the Coastal Grandmother trend, infusing your home with timeless coastal style.

Shop the Coastal Grandmother Collection


Embrace a Soft, Neutral Color Palette

Start by selecting a soft and soothing color palette inspired by the coastal surroundings. Opt for shades of green, soft blues, sandy beige, and creamy whites. These hues create a serene backdrop that mirrors the coastal landscape and evokes a sense of calmness and tranquility.

Shop Dash & Albert Dunes Rug


Incorporate Natural Materials

To achieve a Coastal Grandmother look, integrate natural materials throughout your home. Utilize rattan, wicker, jute, and seagrass for furniture, rugs, and decorative elements. Incorporate reclaimed wood for shelving, tables, or picture frames, adding warmth and character to your space.

Here are a few never-fail Coastal Grandmother decor tips from our design experts:

  • When in doubt, go for a sisal or jute rug. 
  • Grasscloth wallpaper in soft shades of blue, green, or cream (preferably paired with thick, chunky base and crown molding in crisp white). 
  • Linen slipcovers in white and cream on the sofas and chairs. 
Shop the Coastal Grandmother Collection


Mix in Vintage Furniture and Heirlooms

To truly capture the essence of the trend, incorporate vintage furniture and cherished heirlooms into your decor. Look for pieces with a timeless charm, such as a weathered rocking chair, an antique dresser, or a vintage trunk. These items bring character and a sense of history to your home, creating a nostalgic ambiance.

Coastal-inspired Accessories

Enhance the Coastal Grandmother style with carefully curated accessories. Display seashells, driftwood, and vintage beach-themed artwork. Incorporate linen or cotton fabrics for curtains, throw pillows, and upholstery. Layer with cozy knit blankets and striped fabrics. Remember - the goal is keep the aesthetic, but avoid too much of a "theme." 

Shop Gray Malin San Francisco Print


Achieving the Coastal Grandmother interior design trend allows you to create a space that is both inviting and nostalgic, combining the serenity of coastal living with cherished family memories. By embracing a soft color palette, incorporating natural materials, integrating vintage furniture and heirlooms, and curating coastal-inspired accessories, you can transform your home into a tranquil haven reminiscent of cherished beach vacations. Embrace the charm and warmth of the Coastal Grandmother trend, and let your home tell the stories of the sea and the love of generations past.
