Create an Autumn Themed Interior For Your Home

Oh Autumn, how I love thee! Now, it's no secret that I love the spring and summer (I practically hibernate in the winter) but I also find autumn completely captivating. There's something so deliciously magical about this season with its shades of red, orange and gold, with its crisp cool mornings and the crunch of leaves underfoot! I just love it. And so, it always feels right to bring a little of the autumn indoors, almost like a little shrine to the goddess of all seasons! So here are my five steps to creating a glorious autumnal theme within your home... 

Candles
Using candles creates a soft and warm ambiance in your home. Choosing scented candles will also help to set the autumnal mood, you'll feel just like you're on a woodland walk! 

Colours
Shades of red, orange and gold are perfect for recreating the magic of autumn in your home. Why not add some throws and cushions in these shades to your living room? It will feel so warm and cosy!

Nature 
Literally bring some of the outdoors inside by making a feature of natural objects including acorns, leaves, pine cones and conkers. These can be displayed around candles, placed in vases or you could even get crafty and make them into a beautiful autumn wreath!

Lighting 
Now the nights are starting to draw in, the afternoons and evenings can become a little duller. Rather than using the main lights to brighten your home, lamps can make a wonderful feature enabling you to create a warm and glowing atmosphere, perfect for snuggling up with this autumn. I love this table lamp from Furnish Your Home. The copper finish is perfectly in keeping with autumn colours and the birdcage design is really unique and casts a patterned effect across the room. 

Flowers
Flowers are one of the easiest and loveliest ways to brighten your home. Whether you prefer fresh or artificial you can create beautiful bouquets to display in an array of reds, yellows, golds and pinks. Sunflowers, chrysanthemums, carnations and germini are perfect for this time of year.

So there you have it, a few little ways to bring create a beautiful autumn themed interior for your home. Stay tuned for a Christmas themed post coming soon!
