Why we love it: The tufted look gives these chairs an upscale look, and they come in several gorgeous colors to match your aesthetic. We chose a neutral option so that seasonal decor can be layered on top, but the rusty orange color is beautiful, too.

Warning: Only get the matching ottoman if you’d like your guests to stay a while because once they get comfy, they’ll never want to leave.

Why we love it: Half the point of lighting a candle is for the aesthetic, and Sand + Fog candles fit seamlessly with practically any fall decor. Pumpkin-scented candles are hit or miss, but this one is a definite hit.

It even has a unique twist on the typical scent profile by mixing in warm, spicy notes of chai tea. If scented candles aren’t your jam, flameless pillar candles give a similar look without the smell.

A Tabletop Fireplace Because Why Not?

Colsen Tabletop Rubbing Alcohol Fireplace

Colsen / Amazon

Why we love it: Some parts of the country get too cold for outdoor entertaining in the fall. If you live in a region that’s still relatively warm, a tabletop fireplace takes the edge off nippy autumn evenings, and it looks incredible, too.

If you’re up for a major splurge, a full-sized outdoor fireplace turns up the heat even more, all while doubling as a table.

And Vintage String Lights for Ambiance

Cosiest Outdoor Propane Square Fire Pit Table

Probro / Amazon

Why we love it: Think you don’t need string lights? Wrong! Cozy cafe lights criss-crossed over the yard is the cheapest way to add a sense of warmth and cheer to your home without spending a fortune. Hanging them around the porch or on a patio umbrella will do the trick, too.

Oh, and these can also be controlled right from your phone. Lower the brightness or change the color temperature to match your mood. Love it.
