Across the internet, more and more folks are expressing the joys of being a plant parent. Though your flower garden may be closed for the season, pick a seasonal bouquet from the local florist and put it on display in a gorgeous vase.
If you struggle to keep plants alive, there's no shame in opting for a faux alternative.
Let There Be Leather
The fashion world’s into head-to-toe leather this fall, and you can bring that trend to your home with some key pieces. While tan, industrial-style sofas are all the buzz in 2022, you can always showcase accessories like leather table lamps.
This textile is timeless, and the warm earth tones easily incorporate that fall colour palette into your space.
Dark Academia
You may have the dark academia aesthetic on lock when it comes to your wardrobe, but you can bring those Secret History vibes to your home, too. Turn your place into the Gryffindor common room with a cozy fireplace. If you don’t already have one, Walmart has easy-install electric options.
Set up camp with your journal and a quill pen in an elegant armchair or keep it simple; grab a cable-knit throw blanket and your favourite person to snuggle up with.
Book Nooks
No matter if you’re into dark or light academia, a cozy book nook is a super personalizable home trend. Curate a home library of all your #booktok faves, using the various colours of book spines to your design advantage.
Use throw pillows to transform a window-sill into a comfy reading spot and display your favourite coffee table books in a stylish tray. Don’t forget to snap a fall #shelfie.
Dark Accents
TikTok determines more than just what books you should add to your to-be-read list — the app’s got its finger on the pulse of interior design. This year, black hues, accessories and accents are all the rage.
Opt for eclipse blackout curtains, a mid-century modern floor lamp or a dark sideboard (complete with shelves for your bottles of Merlot).

Everyone from fans of Taylor Swift’s Folklore or players of Stardew Valley is keeping the cottagecore trend alive, and it isn’t showing signs of stopping.
