by Clara - November 03, 2023

As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop, there's no doubt that autumn has arrived. A magical time of year when nature dons warm, comforting hues, it's also the perfect time to bring that warmth and enveloping ambience into your home. Here are a few tips for transforming your home and creating a warm, welcoming space that reflects the spirit of the season we all love so much.

1. A warm color palette:

Autumn is synonymous with deep, rich colors. Opt for shades like burgundy, ochre, terracotta, brown and beige. These colors evoke the warmth of a roaring fire and falling leaves, creating a cozy, comforting atmosphere.

2. Cozy textiles:

Introduce soft, plush textiles into your décoration. Add velvet cushions, wool plaids, soft rugs and soft curtains to bring a feeling of comfort and warmth. Natural materials such as linen and wool are particularly appreciated for their warmth.

3. Ambient lighting:

Lighting plays a crucial role in the atmosphere of a space. Opt for warm lamps or scented candles to create an intimate, relaxing atmosphere. Strings of lights can also add a touch of festive flair to your autumn decor.

4. Dare rustic details:

Rustic, authentic elements add a touch of charm to your autumnal decoration. Use wicker baskets, candles in glass candle holders, dried branches or foliage as decorative accents. These details evoke nature and simplicity, two characteristics of autumn.

5. A thematic presentation:
