Since the weather has turned and the nights are drawing in, we're at the time of year when I begin to daydream about packing up and spending my days in a snow-topped cabin in the woods. Although I've never managed to bring the fantasy to life, I can get at least halfway there by learning how to decorate every room for fall in the coziest possible way – and I'm currently taking inspiration from Joanna Gaines' new Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection at Target.
Perhaps the best way to describe Joanna Gaines' latest Target drop is 'country cabin chic'. It's effortlessly stylish and ideal for fall: think plaid prints, brass tableware, and seasonal foliage, plus a few festive touches. (You can never have enough holiday mugs, after all.) And if you don't spend the colder months romanticizing life in hibernation, this collection could change your mind.
It goes without saying that I love to fill my home with seasonal decor, but that doesn't mean I'm not partial to more versatile pieces that will see me through from early fall right up to Christmas. Lazy autumnal decorating tips are the key, and I'm a firm believer that cozy accessories are the unsung hero of the season: classic patterns and rustic decor will work wonders.
It seems that Joanna Gaines shares my love of cozy decor, since her new Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection is brimming with homely, retro-inspired pieces. The collection is subtly festive, utterly charming and quietly nostalgic – I just need to restrain myself from adding it all to my cart.
