Creating Cosy and Chic Spaces: Home Styling Tips for the Autumn Months
A Gentle Approach to Home Styling for the Autumn Months
When the amber leaves begin to fall and the air takes on a chill, it is natural to seek solace indoors. Transitioning from the vibrancy of summer to the subdued shades of autumn gives a subtle nudge to adjust our interiors. A balanced approach can help maintain both style and comfort. In this blog Mackenzie Page Interiors considers ways to refine your space for the season.
1. Lean into Earthy Tones
Autumn’s palette typically consists of browns, oranges, and deep yellows. Incorporating these colours in cushions or throws can subtly bring warmth to a room. Layering different textures, in moderation, might also be worth a thought.
2. Consider Textiles
Autumn calls for warmth, and textiles are a straightforward way to answer that call. A throw on a sofa or a rug on a wooden floor can make a simple yet subtle difference to a room.
3. Re-evaluate Your Lighting
As the days get shorter, lighting becomes more crucial. A shift to softer, ambient lighting can be both practical and cosy. Adjustable lighting could also offer some flexibility.
4. Bits of Nature Indoors
Even as nature outside prepares for winter, there is no harm in bringing a hint of it indoors. Consider dried flowers or even pine cones as understated decorative elements.
5. Think About Furniture
If you have been thinking about changing some of the furniture, the autumn months can be a good time to do this. An added armchair or perhaps a wooden coffee table can quietly shift the feel of a room.
6. Designate Quiet Corners
Autumn often encourages introspection. Setting up a small corner for reading or reflection can be both useful and aesthetically pleasing, without much effort.
7. Subtle Scents
A mildly scented candle or diffuser, especially with autumnal undertones, can influence the atmosphere of a room, making it feel just a bit warmer.
8. Decluttering Helps
Before you make additions, consider decluttering; A clearer space often feels more inviting.
Conclusion
Autumn, with its muted tones, gives a gentle prompt to make some changes indoors. Subtle shifts in decor, without going overboard, can resonate well with the season.
