As a fashion and home editor, there’s one aesthetic I can’t resist: cozy, eclectic interiors. Think: a Brooklyn brownstone filled with gallery walls, bookstacks and plush linens. Or a snowy farmhouse kitchen with vintage tea kettles and antique candle holders. The look basically screams hole up here on an autumn afternoon, and now that we’ve entered September, there’s no better time to prepare your space for hunkering down. So below, find 12 cozy decor items to snag this season—from a cashmere throw to a pumpkin dutch oven to a preety wooden tray fit for both work and play (from your bed, that is).

Cozy season calls for movie marathons on the couch, and what could be more snuggle-worthy through them all than this supremely soft cashmere throw?

Crafted from cast iron with an antique-inspired brass finish, this sculptural leaf candle holder is perfect for elevating a fall tablescape or mantel. (Plus, you can keep it on display during the holidays.)

There’s nothing like a crisp autumn morning sipping coffee on the porch, and with this insulated mug (complete with splash-proof lid), your drink can stay hot for hours.

This plush faux fur throw pillow has hundreds of rave reviews for its luxurious texture and fluffy feel, so it’s just the thing to upgrade your sofa or bedding setup.

Not only does this gorgeous, gourd-shaped dutch oven cook and serve up to 3.5 quarts of your favorite comfort food, but it’s also on sale for almost $185 off.

In need of some comfy new living room seating? Consider this foam-filled swivel chair wrapped in soft chenille. Buyers confirm that it does indeed feel as good to lounge on as it looks.

This soy wax candle will fill your space with the warming scents of pumpkin spice, chai and sweet whipped vanilla. Thanks to its pretty glass jar, it even doubles as decor.

When you’re craving some actual pumpkin chai, you’ll be so glad to have this sleek electric kettle at the ready. Particularly because it starts boiling in just 70 seconds.

Featuring an earth-toned floral motif, this handwoven area rug is all you need to give your room a sense of rustic romance for the season—and beyond.

Roomy enough for a laptop, Kindle or bowl of soup, this wooden tray with a detachable lap cushion was made for those days when you don’t want to leave your bed.

No campfire? No problem. This flameless tabletop appliance can roast marshmallows and melt chocolate for all those cozy (indoor) s’mores nights to come.

No autumn overhaul is complete without some dreamy new bedding. This brushed cotton sheet set is your answer—especially in this adorable gingham print.
