Autumn is here - and with it comes a retreat into your own four walls. When it gets uncomfortable outside as winter approaches, it should be all the nicer inside. After all, that's the charm of autumn: enjoying the play of colors on the trees, but also rainy days from the safety of your own home, with bright colors and atmospheric lighting to counteract the gradual hibernation of nature.
We'll show you how!
- More cozy effect: In summer and when it's very hot, we bring out cool fabrics that are pleasant on the skin and don't make us break out in a sweat immediately on the chair or sofa. In the fall, it's exactly the opposite. Whether it's a blanket or cushion, it can't be fluffy enough. Cuddly blankets in the living room and fluffy bed linen in the bedroom allow cooler temperatures to bounce off effectively and provide more warmth visually.
- Warm colors: The fresh sea colors of the summer months quickly look chilly in autumn. Mint green, turquoise and light blue make you feel chilly. So go for warm colors in rust tones, warm dark yellow and possibly purple and dark blue.
- Lanterns and candles: When the rain pours down and it gets dark earlier, candles conjure up an atmosphere in the home. A few candle holders and lanterns, strategically placed, enhance dark corners. If you have pets and small children to consider, you can still create mood lighting - with dimmable light bulbs with a candle look!
- Warmer curtains: The light, airy summer curtains can now leave the field for the winter. Thicker, warmer versions also keep the cold and bad weather out visually and, especially in warm colors, are an enrichment for the room.
- Carpets: Warm feet are provided by fluffy, cozy carpets. If you have a tiled or laminate floor, which is very pleasant in the warmer months, you can use rugs for more comfort in winter. Thick, warm fabrics everywhere also keep the heat in better and are therefore not just visually appealing.
- Create cozy oases: A comfortable armchair, a side table and a floor lamp - and you have a cozy little island where you can retreat with a good book. All the better if the rain is beating against the window outside.
- Autumn plants: Whether fresh or dried, as potted or cut flowers, plants can be used to set the mood in the home. A collage of autumn leaves in a vintage picture frame is just as fitting for the season as an arrangement of poinsettias, which are available in many beautiful colors. And pumpkins enhance any decoration with their bright orange color.
- Drinking tea: Teas, whether black or herbal, are warming from the inside. And a steaming teapot is a sight to behold, which is a joy in itself. As tea also awakens the spirits and prevents colds, you should always have a pot ready.
