The first frosts of autumn are slowly inviting us into our daily lives, and with them, the need to prepare the interior for the new season is felt. The eccentricities of summer are over, the decoration is more comforting and cozy, inviting us to curl up in a series of fleece textiles. From the living room to the bedroom, the color palette takes on an autumn air, the walls now have a patina of orange, ocher and nude shades reminiscent of those of the exterior foliage. Here’s something to inspire us to embrace the late season.
1. An Indian summer-style palette
If the fall is already showing the tip of its nose in our decoration, the summer does not seem decided to take its reverence so far. This is evidenced by the craze for sun-drenched colors. In head, the pink and powdery shades sometimes, sometimes blush or incarnadine, very useful for illuminating small areas . Pink has established itself for several seasons as a contemporary must have, enough to put an end to the girly label that has long been attributed to it – more or less wrongly. It goes without flinching with the browns and oranges typical of autumn. It is also in contact with solar colors such as ocher, peach, terracotta, that the interior takes on the air of Indian summer. For a really successful result, we match the nuances of the same palette.
2. An autumn with Nordic colors
Although the brown remains the essential color of every fall, it is possible to stand out by turning to a range more nude. It is not a question of repainting the whole house in immaculate white but of starting on a neutral base where to inject some lightly colored pigments. Off-white or pink-tinted, beiges, blondes, mother-of-pearl and ecru are all possible choices to stage a refined decor . This fall we are inspired by Nordic interiors where light colors have real power. Soothing, comforting, the nude palette is in tune with the slow universe of hygge. An advice ? It is recommended to contrast the monochrome obtained with touches of burgundy or forest green via the linens.
3. 1001 shades of gray
This year marks the comeback of gray – in total look – in our contemporary homes. Monochromes are popular this fall because they envelop the interior in a bubble of privileged softness . Less cold than white but just as timeless, gray becomes warm in contact with natural and cozy materials such as linen, wool or velvet , particularly present in this season’s collections. Thus gray gives a contemporary look to the corduroy sofa and softens the character of a raw concrete table. Coverings, furniture, accessories, gray comes from floor to ceiling in the fall decoration.
4. The success of natural materials
When autumn arrives, warm materials automatically return to center stage. No more textiles that are too light, it’s time for fluffy velvet and ultra-padded cotton. Accumulate the cushions on a sofa, juxtapose a few throws at the end of the bed and place two or three rugs in the living room , so many simple tips to warm up the atmosphere of the home at the first signs of freshness. When it comes to furniture, the steel structures of the summer give way to the ends of the sofa and other elements in raw wood. The idea? Introduce heat naturallythanks to the material. A dark oak plaque as a headboard , a parquet shaped in bleached birch, golden pine for the sideboard, wood comes in all shapes and colors. Enough to enhance the decor with an essential material.
5. A cozy room for children or adults
More than ever, the sleeping area is intended to be a cozy cocoon in which to shut up on rainy autumn Sundays. So to transform the bedroom into a fleecy refuge on all sides, we do not skimp on the linens. Lined curtains on the windows replace the light curtains for the season. XXL duvets , padded blankets or throws , cushions in abundance and mohair throws are essential on the bed to transform it into a cloud of textiles. What is missing in this resolutely cocooning decor? A canopy! Far from being confined to the children’s room, the canopy brings a poetic touch to the adults’ sleeping area. We prefer a model in opaque fabric that completely covers the headboard, just to increase the cozy potential. Then just a few candles to transcend the ambiance of the bedroom.
6. Tree, leaf, flower … autumn is displayed on the walls of the house
Of leaves with golden shades, trees slightly denuded of flowers ; autumn is also synonymous with revegetation of the decoration. But as it is difficult to introduce plants that will withstand both the cold outside and the intensive heating of our homes, it is better to turn to prints. So panoramic landscape or single lé of wallpaper printed , nature becomes a motif that appears in XXL. Ideal for taming nature when you’re a bad gardener. The frames are a good alternative to the tapestry because they breathe a gallery spirit into the room. We opt for watercolor prints or black and white photographs that elevate flora to the rank of art.
7. DIY easy to do with elements from outside
Take inspiration from the dead leaves that accumulate in the garden to imagine some decorative accessories, here is a daring idea to welcome the end of the season. Instead of accumulating the foliage in a herbarium that will never be opened, why not display it for all to see? All you need to do is bring bottomless frames and capture the autumn flora. Amassed on a window sill , or suspended like mobiles, these DIY frames awaken the interior with a vegetal note. We advise you to mix the varieties of leaves. It is also possible to sprinkle a few branches or dried flowersaround the house, sliding them into a series of transparent vases.
