Simple Ways to Warm Up Your Home for Autumn

Simple Ways to Warm Up Your Home for Autumn

Autumn is the season when time spent at home takes on a uniquely cozy ambiance. Every cup of hot tea or a still-warm apple pie tastes so much better at this time of year. Below you’ll find simple ways to warm up your living space, so it can fulfill its especially important function during this magical season.

Rug – A Practical Floor Accent

A decorative element that sometimes sees more use, other times less. There was a time when a rug was a mandatory feature in every home. After a short break and a rising trend of wooden floors from various origins, rugs are making a comeback in a big way. They not only serve as the perfect embellishment for empty floor space but also come to the rescue for cold feet.

Decorative Pillows – Also Great for Naps

Not only are they practical—there for you if you suddenly feel like taking a short nap—but they also subtly add character to the interior. There’s an endless variety of patterns, shapes, and sizes. We prefer mixing pillows of different sizes, shapes, and prints, with one detail to tie them all together. See for yourself.

A Blanket for the Sofa or Armchair

Just like pillows, it’s good to have a throw or wool blanket within reach. It also makes the interior feel physically warmer. Casually draped over a chair back or thrown over the sofa, it’s a timeless must-have—no matter the current trends.

Scented Candles – Candleholders

Nothing enlivens and warms an interior quite like a live flame. A fire lit in the fireplace surrounds the whole house in a magical aura, but the small flame of candles has its own special charm. Properly arranging candles in the room is just as important as choosing the candleholders. A minimalist white candle looks entirely different on a simple art deco-style plate or a tall glass stand. Presentation is crucial, but we can’t overlook the equally significant fragrance. It’s the first thing to greet you as you walk through the door. By selecting a scent that perfectly matches our preferences, we give ourselves a burst of endorphins every time we light our favorite candle.

Floor Lamps, Pendant Lamps, Accent Lighting

Plenty of small ones and big ones—the more, the better. Both the warm glow of a lamp and its beautiful design please the eye. Regardless of their purpose, lamps offer a very adaptable, rewarding medium for interior design. You can start with the simplest base—a regular lightbulb—and finish with an intricate wall sconce. Your only limit is your own imagination.

Solid Wood

Whether raw or meticulously polished, wood has always been a noble material. Its scent creates a unique atmosphere in any home. We love wood in all forms, from beautiful old beams adorning particularly high spaces to rustic stacks beside the fireplace. Bringing nature in its purest form into your interior imparts an unparalleled sense of peace and warmth.

Potted Plants

Plants are life, and life is warmth—simple as that. Fresh greenery paired with a decorative planter is, regardless of the season, budget, or room size, a brilliant way to make your interior cozier. In autumn, we choose succulents, fiddle-leaf figs, aspidistras, and various palms. Greenery reigns year-round. We’ll share more on how to care for it and which plants to choose in our next post.
