Our devotion to creating inviting spaces knows no bounds, extending even to the ambiance that dances in the air.

We hold a special affection for Pickwick & Co. candles. Their warm glow and captivating fragrances are seamlessly woven into the fabric of our aesthetic. The flicker of a candle’s flame invites you into a realm of comfort and luxury, evoking feelings that only a cozy home can inspire.

Crafted in small batches and poured by hand, the candles are imbued with fine perfumes and essential oils, capturing the essence of the world’s most enchanting scents. It’s the perfect harmony of design and fragrance, where every room becomes a sanctuary and every moment is transformed into a cherished memory.

We love the idea of pairing a room with its own fall scent, and think it adds an extra layer of complexity to the design. Each of the four rooms we’ll walk through today is a beautiful example of autumnal elegance and new traditional design.

Pumpkin Chai in the Ward Parkway Brick room

This room is an oasis of caramels, creams and autumnal browns. What I love most about it is it exudes stately elegance without a hint of stuffiness.

The pillows, adorned in variations of charming autumnal plaids, provide a cozy and inviting touch. At the heart of the room is a cream-colored sectional nestled around a warm leather ottoman, creating a space that beckons relaxation and comfort.

To complement this sophisticated yet welcoming space, the choice of scented candle becomes essential. The Pumpkin Chai candle is the perfect match. It’s a new spin on the traditional chai spice, elevated by the addition of autumn’s favorite gourd.

As the flickering flame dances, the enchanting fragrance fills the air, blending the aromas of wild pumpkin, chai spices, cardamom, vanilla, ginger and cinnamon. With each gentle waft, autumn’s allure lingers in every corner. I picture myself curling up on the sofa with a good book and an apple cider whiskey or chatting leisurely with friends while our littles giggle as they play on the floor.

Black Pepper for a moody neutral bed

This tan and black bed is a moody haven where sophisticated design intertwines with the masculine allure of Pickwick’s Black Pepper candle. The candle is a harmonious blend of notes, from the fiery essence of black pepper to the refreshing zest of lemon, and the delicacy of jasmine and violet leaf. Its lingering base notes of oakmoss, amber and patchouli add depth to the fragrance.

The scent effortlessly mirrors the bed’s essence, capturing the perfect blend of masculine and feminine tones. It’s one of my absolute favorites!

The bedscape, like the Black Pepper candle, exudes an aura of refined contrast. The bed frame’s black finish and natural cane lattice create a compelling visual interplay, complementing the warmth of the animal print duvet and matching pillows in soft, light tan hues.

The black-and-white buffalo check pillows introduce a dash of preppy charm, while ticking stripe pillows infuse a casual touch to the ensemble. The bed’s inviting appeal is further elevated by flanking side chairs adorned with a striking black-and-white striped pattern, aligning seamlessly with the color theme.

Fall Foliage for an autumnal table

At the heart of the Trezo Room, which we have lovingly named after our neighbors we can see from the windows in the space, an opulent autumnal table steals the spotlight.

Cement turkeys, symbolic of the season’s bounty, grace the tabletop, their presence augmented by a vibrant spray of fiery berries. An array of pumpkins, each possessing its own shape and personality, gracefully meanders along the center, nestled among fall branches and verdant foliage.

Place settings are a study in refined beauty, where blown glass pumpkins crown classic blue willow china. Lastly, deep neutral chargers and glassware, along with understated napkins, contribute to an atmosphere of sophisticated warmth.

A corner display, thoughtfully curated with large vases and baskets brimming with autumnal blooms, vintage-inspired birdcages and evocative bucolic artwork, adds another layer of charm to the room. This space becomes a haven where aesthetics and ambiance mix, enveloping you in an experience that engages the senses on multiple levels.

The Trezo Room finds its perfect match in the Fall Foliage scented candle by Pickwick. The essence of birch and maple leaves, infused with notes of pomegranate, juniper berry and orange blossom, create an olfactory tapestry that mirrors the room’s autumnal palette.

Gatherings in the Mullberry Drive room

Let’s step into the exquisite Mullberry Drive room, an enchanting atmosphere that captures the essence of the season. The walls are adorned in a deep, rich blue that sets a mood of timeless elegance. Your eyes are drawn to a fern green sofa situated opposite an opulently decorated mantle, where the deep burgundy pillows adorned with charming pheasant motifs stand out against the backdrop.

The centerpiece of the room, a stately tortoise shell coffee table, sits elegantly. Upon it, a vase brimming with dried blooms and an artful arrangement of gourds evoke the spirit of autumn. Just behind the sofa, a beautifully appointed desk boasts an array of red-hued books that harmonize with the fiery tones of nearby autumnal berries. A classic blue-and-white ginger jar, flanked by antler bookends, adds an element of sophistication to the vignette.

Behind this scene, a separate seating area beckons with twin chairs dressed in regal emerald green upholstery. Their twig-like metal frames add a touch of nature’s charm, while a painting of a deer complements the theme beautifully. The use of blue and white accessories lends a touch of new traditional elegance.

To amplify the rich sensory experience of the Mullberry Drive room, we’ve paired it with Pickwick’s Gatherings candle. This captivating fragrance begins with notes of crisp, fresh autumn leaves that lead to a heart of woodland apples, wild berries and the warmth of cinnamon sticks. The fragrance journey concludes with hints of Norwegian sycamore bark and the comforting embrace of mahogany wood.

Pairing room designs with scented candles elevates your home to new heights of sensory delight.
