Find Fall Home Inspiration at These 6 Local Boutiques
From the perfect candles to gothic-chic light switchplates, these fun finds will perk up your seasonal decor.
The season doesn’t officially start until later this month, but with the kids back to school and the days growing shorter — not to mention the return of Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte — it sure feels like fall.
If your tabletop, your mantel or your front stoop is in need of a fall refresh, we’ve got you. Here’s some locally owned home decor boutiques sure to provide inspiration.
Von Walter & Funk
We want the funk — the Von Walter & Funk that is. The Lawrenceville-based lifestyle shop always offers up an eclectic array of home goods, including a new line of trays. The mustard yellow tray, imprinted with the word “Snacks,” in particular is perfect for Halloween treats.

Hot Haute Hot
Hot Haute Hot in the Strip District is full of boho-chic finds, including lighting, carpets, furnishings and jewelry. We particularly love the store’s collection of vintage light switchplates. The elaborate plates, which feature — among others — a hand and a fleur-de-lis, will give your home a gothic cool vibe that you’ll want to keep well beyond Halloween.
