The days are slowly getting shorter, the evenings longer, and suddenly you’re in the mood to light a few candles at home again. Fall is the perfect time to give your interior a little makeover. No major renovations or completely new furniture needed: with a few simple changes, you can instantly make your home feel warmer and cosier.
Bring warmth into your interior
One of the easiest ways to get your home ready for fall? Add some warm colours. Think earthy tones like terracotta, rust brown, warm beige, olive green and chocolate brown. Of course, you don’t need to start painting your walls. A few cushions, a cosy throw, a vase or another home accessory in a warm shade can already make a surprising difference. Wall art can also completely change the atmosphere of a room through colour. A calm print in warm earthy tones, for example, instantly adds more depth to a neutral interior.
Choose natural materials
In autumn, we naturally feel a little more connected to nature. That’s why wood, linen, wool, ceramics and other natural materials are such a perfect fit for an autumn interior. The great thing about these materials is that they not only feel warm and inviting, but also work beautifully with a calm and timeless interior. Natural materials are especially lovely in a Japandi or Scandinavian-style home. Try combining a wooden frame with a minimalist poster, a linen throw and a few ceramic accessories.
Make it cosy with texture
Your interior doesn’t have to be filled with things to feel cosy. In fact, it’s the combination of different textures that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Pair a soft throw with a chunky knitted cushion, linen-look wall art with wood and a soft rug. Wall art can play an important role here too. A print with a subtle texture, such as our much-loved linen-look backgrounds, gives your walls a little extra character without making the space feel busy.
Bring nature indoors
Outside, the landscape transforms beautifully in autumn. So why not enjoy a little of that beauty indoors too? Branches with autumn leaves, dried flowers, grasses and other natural elements bring that same seasonal feeling into your home. Botanical prints, flowers, butterflies, birds and landscapes are another lovely way to bring nature into your interior. Combine different elements for a personal look, or keep things calm and simple with one large statement piece.
Time for a fresh look at your walls
Sometimes, all it takes is a new poster to give a room a completely different feel. Take a fresh look at your current wall art. Does it still fit the atmosphere you want to create? A larger artwork above the sofa, a calming print above the bed or a set of several posters on an empty wall can instantly refresh a room. You don’t have to change your entire interior to make it happen.
Our favourite autumn recipe…
As far as we’re concerned, autumn isn’t about completely reinventing your interior. It’s about making small changes that make your home feel like you again. A warm colour here, a soft texture there and perhaps a new piece of art on the wall. With just a few simple touches, you can create a calm, cosy place you’ll love coming home to over the months ahead.
