Lake Maggiore: how to decorate your home in autumn

Our house changes with every season, from the decorations to the furnishing. Here you find some ideas on how to decorate your home in autumn


The home is a living environment and changes with the seasons, just like our clothes. Autumn deco ideas should convey a feeling of warmth and be as cosy as an item of clothing worn during the first days of cold wheather. Let's see together how to furnish your home in autumn with some hints and tips.


Decorations with dry flowers and other plants


You don't need to make major changes to prepare your home for the arrival of autumn. Among the easiest autumn home decoration ideas are certainly decorations with plants and flowers. Among the plants are those that can cope with winter without too much care, such as yucca, dracaena and bouvardia longiflora. The gerbera is a typical autumn flower that is very colourful and striking. But a wide range of decorations is also possible using leaves, pine cones and dried flowers.


The colours of nature


The colours of the home also follow those of nature as we enter the third season of the year. Among others, red, orange, ochre, sage, beiges and browns stand out. These colours embellish our homes with seasonal products. Think of a beautiful centrepiece with red pomegranates, a basket of freshly picked chestnuts in the forest. But especially the orange of the true queen of this time of year, the pumpkin. These elements are fundamental for autumn home décor ideas, and are also protagonists on the table.

Wood: the real protagonist of autumn


When the temperature decreases, our home becomes a refuge from the cold. And what better image than a lit fireplaces to represent this season? Among the many ideas, wood is the protagonist, and not only to warm up the atmosphere. Wood can give a distinctive style by decorating with vintage baskets and crates, for example. A bark with twigs and pine cones can become an excellent decoration for the centrepiece. Finally, among the latest trends on how to decorate the home in autumn is the use of wood in its raw state, logs or stumps that can become side tables, mini poufs or simply decorative elements.


How to furnish home in autumn: the garden


Don't think that spring and summer are the only seasons when the garden blooms and shines with colour, quite the contrary. Autumn also provides many ideas for beautifying outdoor spaces. Think of plants such as heather, lavender and hydrangea, which bring life and colour to this season too. Another of the autumn home decorating ideas is the use of greenhouses, which can be very useful for cultivating in the autumn and winter season, but also serve as an element of furniture and decoration. 


Cloths and carpets



Renewing textile furnishings is another useful tip for those trying to figure out how to furnish their homes in autumn. Taking up typical autumn colours - such as orange, brown, or beige - you can use a new bedspread, or a plaid to warm up on the sofa, but also curtains and tablecloths. Another element that lends warmth and style is the carpet. Here, patterns and formats abound, ranging from classic Persian to solid-coloured carpets. The same goes for a cosy autumn-themed bedside rug.


Lighting and atmosphere


Without changing the lighting system of the house, we recommend the use of coloured candles, as well as strings of LED lights, among the autumn home decoration ideas. They serve not so much to provide the necessary lighting for household activities, but to give a warm tone to the atmosphere of the rooms, especially the living room, where the evenings of the autumn season are often spent.
