A Fall Cottage Dream

Monika Wiley • September 5, 2023

A knitted blanket, a crackling fire, and a comforting piece of art is the perfect combination for the coziest of homes this fall.

Summer is coming to an end and fall is quickly approaching. As leaves turn orange and the nights get cooler, you may find yourself settling in at home with a blanket and warm cup of tea. Every cozy home needs artwork to bring peace, inspiration, and comfort to the space. Warm earth tones, textural mark-making, and an animal or two are perfect elements to bring a cottage dream to life.

Anee Shah is a master of capturing dreamy worlds with paint. Every mark suggests a landscape that feels familiar and comforting. The wisps of clouds draw you in and give you a sense of something bigger in her piece Journey to You No. 1 . Her color palette is perfect for bringing warmth into a space.

If your space is feeling flat, Kristen Abbott 's textural masterpieces will solve that problem in a heartbeat. Large strokes of moody shades lead your eye across the canvas. Kristen's piece Where the Light Breaks Through is complimented with a lovely light maple floating frame. Imagine a warm fire flickering light across the room, landing on the textural planes of this painting.

Eliana Bernard 's creations combine explorations of materials, shapes, and finishes. Her blend of metallic/matte and ceramic/wooden create a refreshing piece to add to any shelf or small space. Tiled Wall Art No. 13 is a perfect addition to any collector's cozy fall home, and priced at $480, it is a budget friendly option.

Reminiscent of the beginning ideas of a quilt, or patching the worn-through fabric of your favorite jeans, Taelor Fisher 's painting brings a sense of comfort to a space. The layers or pattern and color bring balance and harmony to the linen canvas. The muted color palette of rosey pinks and soft blues are a breath of fresh air. This mixed media pieceis a wonderful size at 48" x 48".

The sterling dragonflyfeatured in Shannon Coppage's piece stirs up memories of fields speckled with the buzzing beauties. Catching the last months of warmth in the fall months, the dragonfly is said to represent new beginnings, hope, and change. What better energy is there to bring into your home?

Your home should be a safe space, bringing you comfort and joy. As the cooler months approach us and we find ourselves cooped up at home, it may be time to reflect on your space and bring in art that can bring you these good feelings.
