This Fall, Follow These 5 Steps to Make Your Room The Cozy Cave You Deserve

Skyler Waugh

It's finally that time of year again, the time all Pumpkin Spiced Latte drinkers and apple pie lovers rejoice. For me, I make it my mission, the reason for the season if you will, to make my room as cozy as possible, even if it means being overwhelmed by every cinnamon scented candle out there. Here are 5 of the best tips I have to offer.

1. String Lights.

UO DIY: Decorating with Instax

This is quick (and cheap!) addition instantly adds all the warm and magical feels needed for the Fall. Throw some pictures of your BFF's from the pumpkin patch last weekend and you're good to go.

2. Candles.

I just want to reiterate how important they are in creating a cozy environment. They add an instant warmth, comfort, and yummy scent in just about any space. Whether you're like me and have several lit at once or just one, you'll notice the difference right away.

3. Chunky knit blankets

I mean come on, look how comfy and cozy it looks. Pair it with some cute throw pillows and a faux fur rug to top it all off. An added bonus, if you're crafty or looking to get into a new hobby, they sell kits on Etsy or Amazon to make your own blanket.

4. Chill music playlists.

Basically 99% of my playlists are either of my top three artists: Bon Iver, Vance Joy, and Hozier. They're also my go-to's for whenever I'm trying to make my space calm and serene. Turn up the fireplace, grab your honey, and put on some nice Indie music for a cozy night in.

5. Add a Himalayan salt rock lamp.

Not only does this magical little salt rock give a soft glow to your room, it also is supposed to be packed with health benefits like air filtering. Despite if the health claims are true or not, at least it'll be a nice addition either way.

I hope your newly decorated room gives you all the cozy feels this Fall.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
