Surprisingly brown, often considered a plain and neutral color, can add richness to your home. Look for deep chocolate shades and burnt umber, both pair well with burgundy and sunny marigold fabrics.

If you’re looking for more than just a warm color to keep you feeling toasty, it’s high-time to pick up a new throw. Throws are versatile blankets, usually smaller than standard comforters, that not only keep you warm but can make a room appear more inviting by being used as decor when not in use. Stay cozy with a plethora of throws by adding one for each piece of seating your room has. Don’t stop there! Drape a lush, fall colored throw over the end of your bed, and you’ve instantly jazzed up your well-loved bedspread.
