Do you want to add some autumn decor to your home without spending money & buying cheap-looking decor pieces that will only collect dust? These 7 design ideas will transform your interior for the new season.
multi-sensory interior
The decor piece that works on multiple senses is – a candle. If you choose a good smell, it can transform your apartment into a cosy cottage in the woods or a small bakery full of cinnamon & pumpkin goods. The light of a candle creates a warm atmosphere that is wanted as the days get shorter.
Check if you have some already & use up what you have before buying new. When you purchase new candles, maybe opt for natural ones & try to support small businesses.
You can also try DIY a candle.
romantic & biodegradable autumn decor
“Death” of nature, especially flora, is an unavoidable part of autumn. Let’s embrace it & take the dry (non-green) greenery into the interiors.
For a romantic feel, change summer bouquets for autumn ones. If you have leftover cut flowers dry them.
For a minimalistic effect, you can put leafless branches into a vase. See what natural art piece you find on a walk.
It’s free & biodegradable.
edible decor
A designer bowl filled with fruits makes your kitchen season appropriate solely by changing its containment. Placing seasonal fruits on top of your counter makes your home feel welcoming & ensures you have healthy snack options.
Autumnal fruits:
- apples
- pears
- plums
- rhubarb
- grapes
- quince
kitchen full of pumpkins
Pumpkin in a vegetable that screams autumn!
Place small (real) pumpkins in your kitchen. You can change them up each time you cook. They will add an autumnal feel to your kitchen.
REMINDER: eat your pumpkins before they’ll go bad!
the decor piece to keep you warm
A blanket is the autumn decor piece. It adds texture to the interior, it keeps you warm on the cold autumn evenings, it gives cosy vibes, it will serve you also in other seasons & won’t go out of style the next year. The perfect accessory for your couch, armchair or bed – practical & stylish.
add a library feel
Do you have a TBR (to be read) list for autumn?
Place the books that you want to read this season on your night table, on your coffee table & throughout your apartment. Not only will remind you to cultivate your reading habit, but also it will create an atmosphere of the cosy library.
What’s left is to prepare yourself a cup of tea & enjoy the plot of your decor piece.
the textured floors
Carpets – they will protect your feet from cold floors & add texture to your room.
Autumn is all about textures, you can see it in fashion for example mixing knitted fabrics in different knit sizes. Textures add dimension & help to create the wanted ambience. To achieve cosy vibes you can choose soft, fuzzy, knitted textures.
To achieve a fresh look clean up the carpets that you already own & change their placements.
