We’re officially one week out from the end of Daylight Saving Time, and if you’re anything like me, you’re preparing for the change in time by investing in some cozy upgrades for your home. After all, once the time falls back, the temperature cools and the night starts to roll in sooner, we all inevitably spend more time indoors — so why not make it as comfy as can be? Here are 10 must-haves that’ll add an extra dose of cozy to your home this fall. A candle warmer lamp We can all agree candles are a must come fall, but you may be missing the ultimate candle accessory. Doubling as both a fun piece of decor and a smart way to get your candles to last longer, a candle warmer lamp will quite literally warm up your space this fall. Best of all, this stunning floral-esque version also comes with smart features like a timer and adjustable shade so you can fit candles of all heights. The quintessential fall candle Whether you’re looking for something to go with the lamp above or are simply in the market for the perfect fall scent, the Warm and Cozy candle from Sweet Water Decor is a can’t-miss. A personal favorite, I reach for this candle the second the weather starts to drop, thanks to its mix of seasonal notes: orange, cinnamon, clove, and pine. A snuggle-worthy throw Who doesn’t love a good throw? If you’re looking to add a new one to your collection, consider this pick from Snuggle Sac. Featuring a ribbed texture and soft-to-the-touch feel, it comes in tons of colors and sizes, many of which are currently on sale. A light-therapy lamp People love to make jokes about “the winter blues,” but the change in time can truly wreak havoc on your body due to the lack of natural light. The solution? A light therapy lamp. A pick like Verilux’s HappyLight can be a great way to offset this change. Simply sit in front of this light for a daily dose of “sunlight” that can help with everything from sleep and mood to energy and focus. Suede house slippers Flip flops are fine during the summer, but come fall and winter, everyone needs a good pair of cozy slippers — like this suede set from Dream Pairs. With eight colors to choose from and over a dozen sizes (including wide fits), you’ll love this stylish, fuzzy find. And yes, they’re good for use both indoors and out. Cozy flannel sheets Every part of your home deserves a cozy upgrade, including your bed. The best bedding investment you can make during the chilly season? Flannel sheets. Eddie Bauer’s Cotton Flannel Sheets are a fan-favorite for a reason. And with tons of adorable seasonal prints to choose from (all at an affordable price), who could say no? A sunrise alarm clock Sunrise alarm clocks like the Hatch Restore 3 have been trending for a bit now — and with good reason. Designed to help make starting your day both easy and relaxing with a dose of light and soothing sound, it also features tons of sleep technology like breathwork exercises, sleep sounds and, of course, a clock. A wearable blanket shawl Robes are great and all, but a wearable blanket is the real cozy home MVP that won’t overheat you. This sherpa poncho style features a fun pattern, pockets and even a snap button. Plus, it also comes in eight fun colors. Warm fuzzy socks If you’re part of the camp that agrees with the fact that you can never have enough fuzzy socks, you’ll want to pick up a pair of UGG’s Leda socks. These cozy crew socks come in a variety of fun colors and are the comfiest way to keep warm on the coldest days. A new set of pillows If your pillows have seen better days, then now’s the perfect time to finish off your cozy upgrade with a set that’ll drastically improve your sleep. Fern and Willow’s plush cooling gel pillows have over 10,000 five-star reviews for a reason, and I should know — they’ve been my go-to for close to a decade now.
