How to Style Your Home for an Autumn Refresh: Tips for a Seasonal Makeover

Autumn is the perfect time to give your home a cosy refresh, as the colours outside change and the evenings grow longer. If you’re ready to update your home decor for the season, creating a mood board is a brilliant way to start. By collecting images, textures, and colours that inspire you, you can form a clear vision of how you want your space to look this autumn. Let’s explore some key trends for an autumn refresh, including earthy tones, nature-inspired accents, and beautiful faux foliage.

Step 1: Build Your Autumn Mood Board

Before diving into the decorating, take some time to create a mood board. Pinterest is a fantastic tool for this – simply collect images of cosy spaces, autumnal colours, and nature-inspired decor to give you a sense of direction. Think rich tones like mulberry, moss, and deep browns. These colours instantly bring warmth and depth to a room, creating that cosy, inviting autumnal atmosphere.

Step 2: Bring in Autumn Colours

To set the tone for your autumn refresh, incorporating a palette of autumn colours is key. Rich mulberry tones add warmth, while deep moss greens create an earthy feel. Don't forget the classic deep browns that ground the space and make everything feel cosy. At Ivy Grey Interiors, we have a range of autumn-inspired pieces in these tones. Take a look at our Faux Burgundy Berried Eucalyptus Stem for a pop of mulberry, or try our Luxury Faux Oak Leaf Spray in deep, rich brown to add texture to your space.

Step 3: Add Nature-Inspired Decor

When it comes to styling for autumn, nature is your best friend. Think about bringing the outdoors in by incorporating pieces inspired by natural elements. Faux foliage and fruits are an easy and mess-free way to do this. Our Natural Strobus Pine Cones and Faux Dried Vine Leaves look fantastic arranged on your coffee table or mantle, creating that seasonal touch without the mess. You can also add our Faux Pears and Figs in decorative bowls for an autumnal statement. These pieces bring a rustic, organic vibe to your space, making it feel connected to the outdoors.

Step 4: Use Faux Foliage for a Lasting Effect

Faux foliage is an ideal way to refresh your home for autumn, with minimal effort. Not only does it last for years, but the quality of faux flowers and stems at Ivy Grey Interiors is so high, no one will know the difference! For an effortless touch, arrange a few Faux Luxury Oak Leaves with acorns with some Faux Burgundy Berries Stems in a rustic vase. Our Luxury Faux Autumn Wreath is also a beautiful option for your front door or as a centrepiece above your mantle.

Step 5: Layer with Autumn Accessories

Once you've established your autumn colour palette and added some natural touches, it’s time to bring in the accessories. Candles, throws, and cushions in warm tones help tie the whole look together. Don’t forget our Dappled Orange Ceramic Pumpkins for the final autumnal touch! These work beautifully as centrepieces or grouped together on a console table to really drive home that cosy autumn vibe.
