Autumn is slowly approaching with golden leaves on the ground and fallen chestnuts. At this time of year, nature changes its 'clothes' in the most graphic and colorful way possible. These warm, radiant autumn colors inspire an atmospheric redesign of the living area. We report on how to specifically implement this in the material below.
With Indian Summer it is in Englishcalled late summer. At this time of year the temperatures slowly drop - the evenings and mornings are significantly cooler than during the day, but you don't miss the summer heat. Nature delights with picturesque, colorful landscapes that definitely have a positive effect on your mood. It's just the right time for hikes and all sorts of outdoor leisure activities.
Late summer inspires with bright colors, warmth that delights the eye and inspires joy in life. This feeling of well-being can be drawn into the living area through furnishings and home decorations that radiate a special cosiness. You can get inspiration directly from nature, for example by taking a walk in the forest or in the nearby park. You interpret the collected impressions through autumn leaves, chestnuts, rose hips, small stones and driftwood that you also found.
The golden season comes into the house mainly through the play of colors. The characteristic ones for the season can be wonderfully put together and tastefully implemented in the living area. Accents are set by the bright, intense tones - red, orange and yellow, which look tasteful in sophisticated versions such as terracotta, mustard yellow, apricot color and other pastel shades.
Indian Summer style is characterized not only by the typical autumn colors, but also by the use of natural materials. Wood is a popular material for furniture construction, while upholstery provides a feeling of well-being and comfortable sitting. The two are important aspects of the comfortable atmosphere in the house. Floral motifs complement the 'autumnal' living landscape and provide variety with their playful design.
The typical autumnal colors are relatively dominant and may not suit everyone's taste as a coat of paint. Alternatively, only one wall can be painted in color and the rest may not be painted snow white, but bright. A good choice would be champagne, cream white or light beige. Combine colors with pieces of furniture in the room that cover a larger area to make the room appear visually bright.
The playful ethnic motifs are also typical of the Indian Summer style, as are exotic patterns transferred from Oriental culture. Table runners, bed covers, scarves, covers and all home textiles that you kept as a gift or as a souvenir from vacation trips to exotic countries can now be used. If their colors harmonize well, all the pieces can even be put together.
Another feature of the exotic living style is the authentic character of all the furniture and decorative objects involved in the interior. The more lavish and strange they look, the more valuable they are for effective furnishings. Every thing, even the smallest, should be staged as if it contained an exciting story and for this reason takes this honored place.
Through clever staging, every conventional object and piece of furniture can be presented in a very special way. An ordinary armchair with armrests only becomes a highlight thanks to its lush upholstery. This can be done later by the upholsterer and the upholstery fabric can be adapted to the theme and color of the rest of the room.
The sunny orange color perhaps looks the most exotic among the other earth tones. In East Asia and India, this intense color has cultural and spiritual significance. Buddhists dress in orange as a symbol of the highest level of human enlightenment. The highest dignitaries in China also wear orange. In Western culture, orange is viewed as positive in different ways.
Orange definitely has a positive effect on the senses and promotes a good mood. Perhaps the easiest way to bring these into the house without having to make any major changes to the room design is of course through decoration. Color comes first, then the exotic character of the objects and furniture and, last but not least, the material they are made of.
Gold, brass and other metals with patina fit perfectly into the interior with Indian summer flair. Elements of different furnishing styles can be cleverly mixed if you stick to one concept. It can be built sensibly and stylishly around two colors or motifs - in this example - black and gold. The self-made pictures hung on the wall interpret the elephant god Ganesha, who, however, stands in the foreground as small statues on the sideboard under the pictures.
If the eclectic furnishing style doesn't suit your taste, simply add more color to the living space. Modern furnishings are often characterized by clear lines, proportions and the popular white color. However, geometric patterns and clear colors as accents on furniture and walls are a sophisticated interpretation of the cheerful Indian summer style. Just avoid things made of plastic, as they contradict the chosen furnishing style.
In the bedroom you use muted colors that convey peace and relaxation. The best selection among all are pastel shades. Warm tones and accents in old gold harmonize well together and are wonderful for romantic personalities who have a passion for detail.
Warm colors harmonize with gold, copper, etc., combined with white or other neutral-looking colors, the result is definitely a successful interior design with an individual style and cozy appearance. In this traditional bedroom there are only a few elements that undoubtedly change the atmosphere of the room significantly. Accents in old gold, orange bedspread, upholstered headboard and a picture on the wall enchant the small room and turn it into a real retreat.
A comfortable room atmosphere can also be created using a few simple means. Don't forget about the small objects that have a story in them. This can be a photo from childhood, things with a vintage look or real relics. They find their honored place as a real ensemble as decoration with an individual flair.
