September Home Decor Finds: What Is Worth Buying Right Now

We can go a lot of different ways with decor this time of year, but my personal favorite way to decorate for the upcoming months is to purchase items that have a certain feel to them – but are not locked into a specific holiday. This allows us to invest in great items we can enjoy year-round.

If you’re shopping for your home this month, here are 4 categories that I think combine fresh design + the shift into the holidays:

colored glass

Honestly? Can’t get enough colored glass lately. It is time-honored and adds the perfect amount of whimsy. I am particularly into colored glassware (I’ve been collecting it all year!) and have already added quite a few blown glass vases to my decor stash. On my wish list: a Murano glass mirror.

faux garlands and wreaths

One of the best holiday decor investments you can make is in quality faux garlands and wreaths. You can use them year after year – well before and after Christmas – and are highly versatile: use them outside, on your bannister or mantle, add in dried fruit or beads, or mix them with fresh greenery for a fuller look. Faux plants have come a long ways and I’ve found some really life-like options now that won’t break the bank.

jacquard weave blankets

Very into jacquard weaves lately – I like the heavyweight feel, rich colors and fringe. And even though they look high end, they’re not too precious with their bright weaves and folksy feel. Adding one of these to your sofa for the cooler months instantly adds a shot of personality.

lamp shades

Swapping out your basic lampshades for something more elevated and interesting is one of the best ways to freshen up the decor you already have. The ruffled silhouettes and slip covered shades are my personal favorite right now. I’m considering replacing my clip on shades in the living room and dining room with velvet ones for the fall and winter – I think that would be so gorgeous and make the rooms feel extra special for the holidays.
