Tips for Decorating Your Home for Autumn

As we bid farewell to al fresco dining from the summer months and watch verdant greens transform into fiery hues, we prepare to welcome cosy evenings by the fireplace with a good book. 

We’ve handpicked a selection of home accessories which introduce an autumnal, earthy colour palette into your home and share tips for embracing a cosy fall feel.

Earth Tone Vases and Planters

Introducing a blend of organic materials such as rattan, jute, and wood creates a stylish scene. That's why we love our Seagrass Tapered Storage Baskets/Planters. These versatile pieces can hold indoor plants, kindling, toys, blankets, and more, while adding a touch of texture to your interior.

The warm tones of our Madam Stoltz Small Ceramic Bubble Vase help create an intimate space when paired with similar pieces. Its mid-century modern, asymmetrical form instils character and charm, making it a true statement piece.

These versatile vases and planters not only add visual interest but also bring a touch of nature indoors, creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. Whether you prefer the organic charm of rattan, the warmth of ceramic, or the contemporary appeal of terrazzo, there's an earth-toned option to suit every style and elevate your home decor.

Set the mood with a decorative candle holder

Candles are excellent choices for establishing an autumnal feel at home. They set the tone right away and create a gentle ambience and a soft, inviting glow. Even unlit, with a decorative candle holder can help create a beautiful focal point in any room.

When it comes to tablescapes, we recommend diving head first into a maximalist approach. Two of our favourite candle holders which embrace an intricate design are the Madam Stoltz Stoneware Retro Candlestick and the Elagalu Pine Cone Candlesticks.

The Madam Stoltz Stoneware Retro Candlestick is a deep mustard yellow-coloured candlestick that has a 1970s aesthetic to it. The strong moody yellow colour reminds us of the beautiful autumn colours and it blends exceptionally well into existing interiors. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a candle holder that makes a statement. We recommend displaying this with a neutral-coloured candle on an entryway table or sideboard.

The other alternative is great when used on the table to celebrate the autumn season. The Elagalu Pine Cone Candlesticks have an aged brass finish to them and embody a warm rustic effect with striking details designed to evoke the feeling of woodland walks and nature, helping to create a cosy, autumn-inspired atmosphere in the home.

The Dark and Rich Brown Decorative Bowl

In and around this time of year, an end-of-summer sadness seems to loom. There is a simple way to counteract these blues; a new purchase for your home or a simple revamp of a room. It doesn’t need to be something large such as an accent chair or a Swyft Sofa, but something as simple as a new decorative bowl can do the trick.

The humble decorative bowl can be used as a centrepiece on your dining table or kitchen island, or for further storage on your console table. Our top pick is the Muubs Bonbonniere Hazel Storage Pot in Brown Black, a handmade terracotta bowl with a raw, urban finish. It looks almost black in lower lighting and reminds us of wood smoke, fallen leaves and the damp earth which we associate more closely with the winter months.

Textured, Earthy Yellow Trays & Baskets

As we invest more in intricate and decorative items for our homes, we often overlook the pieces that make our spaces functional and prevent them from feeling cluttered. With the increased time we now spend at home, it's crucial to ensure every item has its own place, keeping our living spaces organised and free from overwhelm.

Crafted from natural materials, the Alanchi Rattan Tray Table is a stylish bar tray that elegantly displays your finest bottles. The tray is made from rattan—a fast-growing, sustainable fibre native to Indonesia—and boasts an earthy, yellow-based neutral colour. Resting atop a sturdy mango wood frame, this versatile piece is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Another gorgeous storage accessory is the Tine K Home Set of Two Nesting Baskets, woven from palm leaves, their generous size makes them an ideal basket for storing your everyday essentials. These nesting baskets are a versatile and understated colour and will make a stylish addition to the hallway, bedroom, nursery or living space.

Incorporate warm, earthy feels

Terracotta reds and pinks create a warm, earthy feel in homes both old and new. The Zuiver Hilton Pink Circular Rug features a geometric pattern that blends earthy reds and blush pinks, contrasted with greys and whites for a contemporary look. This circular rug is ideal for small rooms like a study, while its rectangular counterpart, the Zuiver Dream Natural & Pink Rug, is better suited for living rooms and master bedrooms. These rugs not only add visual warmth but also provide a soft, comfortable surface underfoot. Their versatile designs make them easy to incorporate into various interior styles, from minimalist to eclectic.
