That's why we love autumn

Autumn is a magical season full of beautiful sights. The lower position of the sun gives the light a unique golden glow and the trees are bursting with red, orange, and yellow colours. Even if you find it hard to say goodbye to summer, there's lots to love about autumn around the home. Add a touch of the cosy season to your living space with beautiful autumn decoration ideas; it doesn't have to be complicated, with home textiles, the right lighting, a little creativity and a desire to furnish, you're ready to go!

Autumn colour: keep it natural

You don't have to look far to find beautiful autumnal colours to inspire, a short walk through the park is enough. Pick rich, brown tones for furniture and furnishings, elegant grey for wall paint or bed linen and muted green for calm environments such as the bedroom. And for statement pieces and cosy accessories, try natural ochres and yellows; for eye-catching decorations in the living room or office, try red.

When furnishing and decorating, the following applies: design rooms in calm basic tones and set accents with highlight colours. This works best with home textiles that you can mix and match depending on the season.

Looking for autumn decoration ideas?

Layering is the perfect styling idea for autumn decorations at home. Add cosy blankets with strong textures and eye-catching cushions to the sofa, your favourite armchair or bed. You can also roll blankets up and store in pretty woven baskets to give your room that hygge feel.

The motto "more is more" also applies to decorative cushions: opt for "50 x 50" decorative cushions and choose cushion covers in strong textures such as woven fur or a 3D look in autumn colours. Mix and match them on all seating areas and everything that makes a cosy evening at home even cosier should be within reach. That's why candles are the ultimate decorative item for autumn. If you shy away from open fires, you can bring the golden glow into your home with LED alternatives. Beautifully arranged on trays and in combination with vases and vessels, they can sit enthroned on chests of drawers, coffee or dining tables.

How to light up your autumn decorations

The right lighting is the best decoration, especially in autumn. The days are getting shorter, the sky is often gloomier and the position of the sun no longer allows as much light into all rooms. To create the ultimate autumn glow even in the darkest corners, it's time to bring out the mirrors! Cleverly positioned mirrors reflect the incoming light and distribute it throughout the room. If you don't want to hang up wall mirrors, beautifully designed vanity mirrors can be placed on chest of drawers or directly on the window sill and easily aligned depending on the time of day. Once the sun has set, conjure up a cosy atmosphere with small light sources. Distribute them strategically around the room and opt for warm white light sources and a slightly dimmer light intensity. If autumn shows its rainy and stormy side, the small mood-makers can also be left on during the day. This makes staying at home feel even nicer.
