Autumn is a season of change, and what better way to embrace it than updating your home’s decor? With its warm palette, inviting textures and seasonal scents, autumn provides a range of inspiration for decorating. 

Here are six easy autumn home decor ideas that will help you create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in your home.  

Decorate your doorway  

Make a statement before guests even step inside with a festive autumn wreath on your front door. Choose wreaths made from dried flowers, berries, and autumn leaves in warm autumn colours like orange, red, and gold. You can also personalise your wreath with small pumpkins and pinecones to reflect your unique style.  

Incorporate autumnal colours  

Nothing says autumn like a palette of warm colours. Consider using a combination of deep reds, burnt oranges, mustard yellows, and earthy browns in cushions, rugs and wall art for a classic autumnal look. These warm autumn colours will add a sense of warmth and comfort to your space. If you prefer a more subtle approach, consider adding autumn-inspired accessories like vases, picture frames, or candles in these colours to complement your existing decor.  

Create a seasonal table setting 

A seasonal centrepiece is an easy way to make your dining table look festive for autumn. Start with a simple tray or wooden bowl and fill it with small pumpkins, pinecones, candles, flowers and a few sprigs of autumn leaves. You can also add candles or lanterns for a warm, glowing effect in your home.

Add cosy throw blankets and pillows  

When the weather cools down, there’s nothing better than wrapping up in a cosy blanket. Start by swapping out your lightweight summer throws for heavier, warmer options. Think chunky knit blankets, soft fleece, or even faux fur. Add some fall-themed pillows in shades of orange, brown and gold to your sofa or bed to instantly make the room feel warmer and more inviting.  

Bring in the outdoors 

Autumn is a season rich with natural beauty, so why not bring some of that into your home? For easy autumn decor ideas, collect fallen leaves, acorns, and pinecones during a walk outside and use them to create simple decorations. For example, you can fill a glass jar with acorns and place it on your coffee table or scatter some colourful leaves across your mantle.  

Add a seasonal scent  

One of the most effective ways to create an autumnal feel in your home is through scent. Infuse your home with the warm and comforting smells of the season. Light autumn-inspired candles with notes of cinnamon, apple, or pumpkin spice to enhance feelings of cosiness and nostalgia.
