Autumn home decor styles

October is officially the start of the colder months, the clocks are going back and the nights are drawing in – making it the perfect time to swap out the summery accessories for your favourite comforts.
With a few simple steps, you can transform your home into a wonderful haven of cosiness. Different looks to help inspire your autumnal transformation, with a splash of amber and a touch of creativity, your home will ooze lovely autumn feels.

Natural Accents

Transform your home into a stylish and welcoming snug with a combination of organic creams and earthy browns. Layering textures and colours is a lovely technique to add instant detail to a space. And choosing naturalistic textures is the perfect start to bringing the natural elements from outside your door, straight into the warmth of your living room.

Load your sofa with an array of wool, knits and faux fur blankets with luscious cushions to enhance the snuggly look. Add some glimmers of candlelight and this understated, airy style is transformed into warm seasonal charm.

 

Nature-Inspired Colore

Orange, red, and yellow are the conventional colors of fall, but designers are increasingly turning to other nature-inspired hues to create refined fall color combinations. If you prefer to decorate with the classic colors of pumpkins and fall leaves, experiment by mixing one or two unexpected shades into your palette to mix things up. Layer in a few pillows in a rich navy blue or line your dining room table with  a forest green runner to set off the rest of your orange and yellow decor. You can also incorporate a bit of shine through metal decorative accents. “They are a great way to add contrast in a design while also providing a pop of color in a unique way.

 

Framed Leaves

What’s more “fall” than some fallen leaves? Create a gallery wall of leaves in mismatched frames to bring in a cozy feel.

 

Textural Fabrics

Cozy patterns and textures can work well together in any context. For fall, these neutral textiles along with tan and khaki textured details, like the headboard and rug, bring a sense of style and comfort.

 

Cozy Non-Working FirePlace

Warm up a non-working fireplace with cozy accessories such as pillow and throw filled baskets, a plush sheepskin rug and a little branch of eucalyptus in a vase. An added benefit: Easy access to warm blankets on cold evenings.
