Autumn is rich in colors and brings a good mood. Here are a few tips for decorating your home for autumn to bring coziness into your home. So you can greet the coming cold days with a smile.

The colors of autumn are warm and pleasant and therefore fit into any room in your home. It doesn't matter whether you choose chocolate brown and beige for fall decoration or prefer honey colors and pumpkin nuances. With each of these colors you will live up to this season's trends. Other suitable colors for autumn decorations are reddish brown, gold, yellow and dark green. If your interior design consists of cold colors that don't suit your autumn mood, rely on the details. Use the natural gifts of nature. Collect chestnuts, oaks and pine cones. You can color these with a spray to match the color of your room. Place them in a glass bowl and they will put everyone in a pleasant, autumnal mood.

The table in autumn should be as rich as its color palette. Suitable vegetables include carrots, cabbage, cauliflower and various types of peppers. Fall also includes broccoli, eggplant, beets, green beans, Brussels sprouts, pumpkins and celery. All these vegetables will help you stay healthy as they strengthen the immune system. The fruit that grows in autumn is just as beneficial: apples, pears, grapes and plums. They satisfy your hunger, bring energy and are great for making various desserts. A fatigue killer are baked chestnuts, which are not difficult to prepare. Set the table with cheerful napkins or coasters, special dishes or a bowl in autumnal shades. So you have created a real decoration for autumn.

Make your own with autumn motifs

If you want to decorate the room with autumnal motifs, you can rely entirely on nature. In nature you can find everything you need.

  • For the kitchen: Make a garland of colorful autumn leaves for the kitchen window or door. This doesn't take much time or resources. Ornamental pumpkins also look particularly pretty in the kitchen. You can paint them or simply place them on the windowsill or hollow them out and use them as vases. Either way, they will put you in a good mood while cooking.

For the living room

  • Here you have the most options for decorating for fall. You can hang various pictures with autumnal landscapes on the walls. Also, make a collage of photos from your last fall walk. The tapestry or wood carvings also go well with autumn decoration. Place a vase on the table and spread around it various autumn leaves that you have previously flattened in a book (so that they do not curl). Make cute figures out of chestnuts, pine cones and acorns with your children. You can connect the individual parts with toothpicks, play dough or a string.

Make beautiful decorations

  • You can even make roses from a few maple leaves:
    Fold the first sheet in half and roll it up. Fold the second one in half in the same way and use it to wrap the first one. Repeat with the third sheet. Finally, tie the leaves together at the bottom of the rose.
  • You can decorate the garden with animal figures such as ducks, hedgehogs or squirrels. Use pumpkin-shaped flower pots and plant chrysanthemums in them that will bloom until late fall. Hang lanterns made from mason jars that you paint and decorate with autumn leaves.

Warmth and coziness

Autumn can't just be colorful. It is usually rainy, cool and gloomy. It is all the better to bring warmth and coziness into the house. Place rugs on the floor to protect your feet from the cold. Fabrics such as cotton and velvet, knitted and thicker materials also have a warming effect. Have a warm blanket to cover yourself with while you lounge comfortably on the living room couch. For fall decoration, you can use soft and cozy pillows in autumn colors for the couch. You can sew leaves made of yellow, brown or red fabric onto old, plain pillows. Also interesting are pillowcases made of jute fabric (which sacks are made from) that have embroidery in the shape of fruits and vegetables. They remind you of the harvest time.
