There’s arguably no better feeling than walking into a well-lived home. Yes, it’s about the memories you create within the space — but it’s also about the things you choose to surround yourself with, whether sentimental or something unique you love. To help you create a home well-lived, we’re kicking off a new series featuring monthly Etsy product round-ups tied to intentional themes for various spaces in your home. These articles are intended to help you source more handmade and antique products while inspiring color combinations and exploring new makers and materials. 

This month, we’re focusing on the living room with a selection of pieces for an autumnal refresh. Whether you’re looking for small pieces or accessories to give your space a cozy feel in time for fall or if you’re ready to invest in a beautiful antique, there's a treasure for everyone in this round-up.

Shop our picks by browsing through this Spoak project, or scroll through below at your leisure.

Farmhouse Botanical Print Set, $78+

This botanical print set is sold in a set of 6 prints with various color palettes. This would be a great way to fill a larger empty wall above a couch. Arrange them together to bring more subtle colors into your room, or split them throughout various walls for easy, consistent art.

Tufted Brown Velvet Sofa, $3,000

Perhaps the sweetest design choices actually remind us of our favorite desserts. Just me?? This vintage brown sofa immediately made me think of a chocolate bar with its rich color and silky velvet fabric. 

Art Deco Chinese Rug, $680

This art deco Chinese rug features subtle floral clusters against a timeless blue background, a good contrast to the dark tones of the prior sofa. Impress your guests with this interesting vintage piece, which simultaneously can enhance any neutral space in your home. 

Japanese Rustic Haze Wax Candles, $18+

Why have simple, straight candles when you can have a selection of unique, tapered shapes? Based on traditional Japanese candles from the 16th century, these would make a great gift to a friend… or yourself. 

Travertine Scalloped Tray, $94

Adding natural stone accessories is one of the easiest ways to make a space feel more luxurious. The textures and colors instantly add depth and dress up even the simplest of rooms. 

Calacatta Viola Marble Side Table, $600

If you’re willing to invest in a larger piece of stone, a marble side table is a great splurge that will elevate any future interiors. Despite the simple shape, the piece really speaks for itself by way of quality material and function. 

Oval Gold Leaf Candlestick Sconces, $175

Candles instantly make a space feel cozier, and these wall-hung sconces are multi-functional as decor and art pieces that add a romantic touch to a room when lit.   

Vintage Neoclassical Chinoiserie Style Metal Coffee Table, $1,699

Durable due to the metal construction while retaining an elegant aesthetic in the thin curved lines, this antique coffee table is guaranteed to be a conversation piece. The large flat surface would look lovely filled with design books, vases, and wine glasses. 

Merino Wool Throw Blanket, $174

A quality throw blanket is an understated essential piece of a cozy living room. Ideally, a wool one that is thin enough so you don’t overheat but will still keep you warm in the colder months when you really want to snuggle up. 

Tiered Wavy Vase, $48

A vase doesn't have to be huge to make a statement in a room. This handmade neutral ceramic piece brings visual depth with its wavy shape and striped pattern.
