In fact, I love everything that incorporates pumpkins into daily life this time of year. I like to think of the minor obsession as embracing the reason for the season, and nothing gets you more in the autumnal spirit than full-blown immersion.

If you resonate with this feeling, then you're not alone. The search volume for all things pumpkin spice is at an all-time high, and candles are only the beginning of what people are looking for online.

It may be hard to imagine how something known to be a seasonal tasty treat could translate into the world of interior design and find its way into inedible parts of the home. The more common examples of how we navigate towards the seasonal spice includes practical choices like candles, shower steamers, and mugs. These pumpkin spice items perfectly encapsulate the snuggly warmth of curling up inside on a crisp fall day. But where does one draw the line on festive fall upgrades? I believe that the more creative the fall decorating ideas, the better.
