When it comes to interior design, you can find inspiration pretty much anywhere: in different designers, latest trends, tech innovations, the past, but also in the seasons. Fortunately for us, every season brings something new and allows us to discover and re-discover the interiors of our homes. If you’re thinking about doing a bit of remodelling and bringing in some new trends, we’re here to help you. We’ve put together a list of amazing interior design trends for autumn you’re going to love.
Fringe everywhere
Retro looks are coming back with a bang, and one of the latest trends that resurfaced this season is fringing. Not only could fringes be seen all over catwalks and fashion weeks, but they have made their way to interior design too. Tassel designs are fabulous because they swing and sway their way everywhere, and even if they’re static, they still look amazing, for example, on walls and rugs. Fringes can also be seen on mirrors, lamps, curtains, as well as cushions. The details are adorable yet attention-grabbing, adding a lovely, flirty edge to home interiors.
Autumn Colors
Autumn is all about yellow, orange, and gold, but who says that your home interiors should replicate the colour palette from nature? This autumn, let our home be dominated by forest elements and hues that make you think of bark, berries, and bramble. These colours are the perfect way for you to capture the delicate shift in seasons because they make you think of all the change of the landscape and make you feel like you’re in the middle of it. Try bringing in more plum, lavender, and sage, and try to notice how well they go together.
Elements of nature
If you’d like to add the spirit of autumn to your home without spending a fortune on renovation and expensive decorations, you can turn to nature for help. The easiest way is to just bring autumnal flowers or pumpkins to your home and use them as elegant décor pieces. You can place them on the mantelpiece along with some twigs and dried leaves or you can paint them white and sprinkle glitter all over them. Who says that pumpkins are just for Halloween? Decorate your dining room table, kitchen counter, as well as your porch with them and embrace the spirit of the season with joy!
Keeping it comfy
Nothing says ‘autumn’ quite like soft, cosy materials, which is why velvet and wool are so popular around this time of year, especially on couches and armchairs. A nice, comfortable couch is always going to be the focal point of the room because this is where you will be spending a lot of time with your friends and family. It’s important to make sure that your couch is always clean and you can do this by placing soft wool blankets on them and see how easy it is for people to wrap themselves up when they’re watching TV. If your couch or sofa is modular and can serve as a bed, it’s even better to have a few warm blankets put aside in case someone gets sleepy.
Nomad spirit
Patterns have been all the rage these last couple of seasons, and now it’s time to draw inspiration from other parts of the world. Eclecticism is appreciated and celebrated globally, which is why everyone can easily find Navajo-like patterns, stripes, rugged textures, and intricate block prints. Look for rich tones and try to find textured pieces that represent the authentic style of the nomadic trend. If you’re fortunate enough, you can even find hand-dyed textiles and hand-thrown pottery.
The details that count
Sometimes people feel like they have to go all-in when they’re redecorating, but that isn’t the case. Details can be powerful and can grab everyone’s attention in an instant, which is why autumn-themed decorations can easily be DIY and still look amazing. As this is harvest season, you can easily use wheat sheaves along with pumpkins to decorate your home. Use them to fill cloches and after that, place them on your dining room table or arrange them on your mantel. Scented candles strategically placed on coffee tables as well as window wreaths made of twigs, leaves, and apples will completely transform the place.
Unless you decide to lock yourself in your home or to go and live under a rock, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to escape popular trends. You don’t have to adjust your life according to trends, but it’s good to keep an eye on things every now and then because you never know when you’re going to fall in love with something and wish to incorporate new elements into your life. Don’t be afraid to update the existing look of your home with some of these great trends we suggested.
