Fall Decor in Upstate New York with Local Finds

As the air turns crisp and weekends shift from beach days to apple picking, there’s something special about fall in Westchester County and the Larchmont New York surrounding areas. The changing season brings new rhythms with slower evenings, cozy layers, and more time spent indoors. Transitioning your home from summer to fall doesn’t have to mean a total overhaul; it’s about thoughtful shifts that bring warmth, texture, and a sense of comfort. And when those pieces come from local shops and artisans, it feels even more connected to the community we’re lucky to call home.

Here are a few favorite ways to ease your home into autumn with locally sourced finds from an interior designer’s eye:

1. Infuse Depth with Textiles

If you’re not ready to let go of light and airy entirely, a personal favorite of ours is Village Mercantile, located in Larchmont, New York which offers the perfect bridge. Think throws in natural fibers, handwoven pillows, and artisan ceramics that add depth without overwhelming. Their curated selection feels thoughtful and modern, making it easy to bring in warmth without veering into cliché seasonal decor.

2. Elevate with Sculptural Accents

For a bolder shift, Atelier Modern, also in Larchmont , is where we turn for standout pieces with a refined edge. Their collection includes striking furniture, lighting, and accessories that transform a room instantly. As fall sets in, swapping in a sculptural lamp, a textured side table, or a statement vessel can ground a space with sophistication while nodding to the season’s richness.

3. Use Detail and Complexity to Add Layers

Fall is about ambiance and tactile layering, something we love to create for our clients. The hōm market, Hastings-on-Hudson NY specializes in soulful, tactile objects and furnishings that make layering easy. From earth-toned linens to organic pottery and handcrafted serving boards, their pieces set the stage for slower evenings and gatherings as the days get shorter. It’s the kind of store where everything feels like it has a story, which is exactly what autumn calls for.

Transitioning from summer to fall doesn’t mean overhauling your entire home. It’s about thoughtful updates that reflect the season: a cozy throw here, a sculptural piece there, a few layered textures that make you want to linger indoors. By sourcing from our favorite interior designer local gems like Village Mercantile, Atelier Modern, and the hōm market you not only find beautiful, lasting pieces, but also support the creative businesses that make Westchester such a vibrant place to live.
