Chunky Knit Pumpkins Are Now a Thing and We Need One in Every Color
Chunky Knit Pumpkins Are Now a Thing and We Need One in Every Color
As Good Housekeeping’s senior home editor, I come across tons of home-related products, both good and bad. But there are some special finds that are just too great to keep to myself. That’s why I’m sharing my favorite home items with you — our readers — here on our website every month in the hope that you’ll appreciate them as much as I do.
Fall is officially here, and any decorating enthusiast can understand the excitement that comes long with making over your space for the season. There's so much to love about autumn decorating: earth tones, layers of texture — be it throw pillows or stylish rugs — and all things pumpkin. This month, I came across everything from a machine-washable leaf-patterned throw blanket to festive acorn string lights and a set of reusable scalloped plates (for just $38!) that are giving me major sweater weather vibes.
Whether you're in search of an affordable pick-me-up or feel like giving a buzzy trend a try (cottagecore, anyone?), you're bound to find something on this list to suit your style and budget. Enjoy the season!
