Autumn is an adorable time of year: we love it for so many reasons. The chilly mornings make your steaming hot cup of tea so much more enjoyable. The ambles through the fallen leaves with the thought of a bubbling bowl of hearty soup to greet you when you get home. The darker evenings inspire you to cosy into a cuddle chair with a velvety soft throw and an inviting fireplace for company.
Autumn is a wonderful time to reinvent your home!
‘The fall’ is also a fantastic time to think about reinventing your home. It’s a heart-warming point of the year, with the sparkle of festivities and family time on the horizon. We find lots of people mulling over new furniture and interior ideas in autumn, pondering ways of bringing a snug and warm feel into living space, and means of accommodating and entertaining guests during the forthcoming season of merriment. There are some interior designers who can help you decorate and find a beautiful interior designing item for autumn.
So here are our top ideas for doing just that – for an awesome autumn at home!
Cosy Chairs
Cuddle chairs, snuggler chairs, love seats – call them what you will, they are all the rage for anyone with a desire to nestle in and enjoy a cosy evening at home. There is so much choice in size, style, and fabrics. The choice is good, but where do you start? Firstly think about whether you want to tie your chair in with existing furnishings; that will narrow your palette down.
Alternatively, you could go for a contrast, either with a colour differential or plain-versus pattern. Try a patterned cuddle chair amidst a plain suite, or a plain chair against a decorative feature wall.
Inviting Lighting
When the rain is drumming on the windows outside, there’s nothing more inviting than a dimmed snug punctuated with ambient lights. Subtle lighting lifts the mood, and you can introduce it into a living space by getting creative with LED string lights of which there is a massive range out there.
Choose colours to complement your décor or simply spoil yourself and go for your favorite hue. Then have fun selecting from an array of styles such as cotton balls, pompoms, crystals, flowers, or pearls to name a few. Arrange over feature mirrors or drape over occasional tables and enjoy the radiating charm. Pile some into an oversized vase and place them in a redundant fireplace for an intriguing, warming glow.
Sleeping Solutions
If you love having guests over to stay or often make impromptu invitations, then there’s one solution you really need to embrace: day beds. Perfect for spare rooms, kids’ rooms, studies, play spaces, and entertainment hideouts, day beds are designed to look wonderful and provide the ultimate in practicality. Day beds pose as sofas during the day, transforming butterfly-style into lovely comfy beds by night.
Designed actually as beds, they make for a restful night’s sleep, much unlike blow-up beds! Day beds also look great – a world away from the casual look of the sofa bed or futon – and there are numerous stylish options to choose from. Scatter a few cushions and no one will ever know there’s a bed hush-hushed away waiting to accommodate guests at a moment’s notice. They also provide ample storage too, plenty of space to secrete boxes and bits and pieces, or even a trundle bed for even more sleeping space.
