It already seems like forever ago that we were basking in glorious sunshine. And while the weather has taken a somewhat unexpected turn, there are a few of us who aren't really that upset about it. Yes, that's right, I'm talking to those of you whose favourite time of year just so happens to be the upcoming autumn season. It won't be long before you start filling up your shopping bag with autumn essentials, and that includes cute home accessories and cosy textiles. In this EZ Living Furniture blog, we discuss the accessories that can easily turn your living room, one of the most utilised areas in the home, from a summer oasis into something reminiscent of Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls (IYKYK). So, grab that pumpkin spice latte and settle in to read all about our top picks!
Hague By Foxford Blue Mohair Throw
If cosy is what you're after (and we know it is), then first up on your shopping list should be a soft, luxurious throw, and boy, do we have a great one for you! We've recently partnered with one of Ireland's most iconic textile brands – Foxford. Based in County Mayo, Foxford is known all around the world for its beautiful, premium, locally made soft furnishings and excellent craftsmanship, which is why we have no problem recommending the Hague By Foxford Blue Mohair Throw (pictured above). This soft blanket is made from mohair, a luxurious fibre sourced from the hair of the Angora goat, so you just know its quality and the perfect addition to a living room that requires that cosy element. The best thing about investing in a throw for your living room is that not only does it work as a decorative piece to add colour and texture to your space when not in use, but more importantly, if you're feeling a little chilly in the colder months, you can simply wrap it around yourself!
Uilleann Green Tweed Cushion
When talking about soft furnishings, you mustn't forget cushions. Of course, their primary function is to provide comfort, adding to the cosy feel of a sofa, armchair, or bed, but they also provide a decorative element, and we could benefit from both for the living room before the weather turns. The Uilleann Green Cushion (above) is a great choice; it's not a typical, rust-coloured, in-your-face autumn cushion, and that's what we like about it because you could keep it as a decorative piece year-round if you wanted to. The tartan pattern is also typically linked to the colder weather and tends to appear this time of year, and can decoratively create that warm feeling in your interior. Finally, if cosy is the aim (and we know it is), you'll absolutely love what's inside – feathers! If you've never had the pleasure of leaning or lying on a feather cushion, well, you're missing out. The crunch and soft feeling of a feather cushion is like nothing you will have ever experienced before – but be warned, once you experience feather cushions, you will likely never go back to polyester (you've been told).
Mosaic Beige Rug
There's nothing like a plush rug to make everyone (including you) feel at home in your living space. We're not quite sure why that is; maybe it's the thought of walking on it barefoot? Feeling that softness while your foot sinks down into it, cushioning every step, or maybe that's just us. Still, even if walking on a thick rug without any socks on gives you the ick, the visual nature of a rug can add plenty to the look of your space. If you invest in a rug with a high, shaggy pile, like the Mosaic pictured above, your living room will visually heat up, creating a cosy area perfect for relaxing right before the weather takes a turn.
Emmie Lamp
When we think of autumn, our minds tend to drift towards colour. We begin to picture shades such as mustard yellow, burnt orange, rust, and cocoa brown, all of which are associated with this time of year. Those colours, and many others not listed, have a warming effect on us. When included, they instantly create a cosy, relaxing, and inviting atmosphere. The same can be said for indoor lighting with the appropriate light bulb colour, which is why our next pick is the Emmie Lamp (pictured above). Emme has that autumnal colour (in the base), and with the addition of the right warm white light bulb, it can easily create that warming environment in your home. Of course, there's always the functional element of a lamp too, which could allow you to rediscover your love of reading in the evenings or highlight a particular corner of the room for decorative purposes.

Links 2 Piece Mustard Ornament
Never underestimate the importance of an ornament (or five), especially at this time of year. While you might hate the sight of autumn-leaf foliage and pumpkin-adorned ceramics, that's ok; there's another option! You don't have to be that cheesy or obvious when it comes to your decor; instead, all you need is a subtle nod to the colder season with colour, which will allow you to get the most value for your money! We just love our newest arrival, the Links 2 Piece Mustard Ornament (pictured above). The mustard yellow colour alone hints at the colder season while remaining relevant year-round!
With only a few short weeks until we're experiencing colder weather, it's worth adding those pieces to your cart now before they sell out! Alternatively, we suggest visiting one of our stores nationwide for some autumnal inspo!
