Autumn is a wonderful time, a time of pleasant coolness, still warm rains and harvesting. Now we will spend more and more time indoors, which means it’s time to clean up the house and update the interior with the help of simple design techniques. Let's see how you can decorate a room in an original way with an autumn theme.
Be trendy
Autumn has a rather characteristic color trend, despite fashion trends. Give preference to rich, rich colors that are close to natural and natural - brown-gray, ocher, burgundy, plum, orange, olive.

However, keeping up with the times is also very important. The most popular colors this fall are burgundy, anthracite, orange, emerald, and blue. Choose more “withered” shades of these colors, with an earthy, slightly gray overlay.
Show off your garden harvest

It is not so important whether you have your own garden or vegetable garden or not. Autumn will give us fresh, delicious fruits and beautiful plants. Let this beauty into your home. Carefully place vegetables and fruits on a large dish or in glass containers. It will look more impressive if you do not combine products and colors. For example, on one dish there are only green apples, on the other - only red ones.

Decor with face prints

In recent years, graphic prints have actively held a leading position in the field of decor. Portraits, emotions and body parts are especially popular this season.
Update your pillow covers
1
The best way to change the look of your living room is to work on the sofa area. There is no need to change the pillows - just sew or purchase several new covers of the appropriate size. It won't cost much, but it will have a significant impact on your mood. The perfect combination of shades in carpet or curtains will be especially impressive.
Hang themed fall pictures and hosts

Autumn is not the time to be sad. Better enjoy the period when you have more time to go to exhibitions or art galleries. At home, you can also transform any room by changing just one element - the painting.
Avoid small images. No matter how modest in size your room is, the height of the ceilings in it is most likely at least 255 cm. On such a plane, a painting of A4 size or smaller a priori will not look alone. If you want to see one picture on the wall, start counting from 70 cm in width or more. If you still like small frames, think through the composition in advance and complete it immediately, hanging all the objects that are necessary on the wall.

Paint one wall a rich color
Blue, so popular this season, is one of the all-time favorites in the color palette. Especially its cool shades. If you want to make the room truly sophisticated and unusual, paint at least one wall deep blue. It’s good if it contrasts with the adjacent light walls and white ceiling.
On a blue wall, for example, light curtains will look great. Play with contrasting colors and textures in your interior.
Hang thick curtains
2
When it becomes chilly and uncomfortable outside, it’s time to think about new ones. More dense, not allowing sunlight to pass through when curtained. Pay attention to fabrics such as blackout, cambric, velor, brocade.
1
As mentioned earlier, combine curtain textiles with other elements in the room. Leave a piece of fabric and sew a couple of pillows, a narrow blanket for a bed or a chair seat from it.
1
Use wood and leaves in decoration
1
Sometimes we forget about simple things. But sometimes elementary compositions have a very picturesque appearance. Place a sprig of fern or other plant in several narrow-necked vases. Place dry driftwood in a visible place, having first cleared it of excess bark and debris.
2
If desired, frame pages from an old plant encyclopedia with illustrations. Or dry the herbarium and carefully glue the samples onto thick sheets of colored paper.
The plant theme can also be supported by items made of metal, clay, plastic - or whatever. The main thing is that the decorative element fits organically into the interior.

Create a warm, cozy atmosphere
Whatever decoration method you choose, do not forget about warm colors and lighting. Compensate for the lack of bright sunlight with objects in yellow and orange colors; they emit the missing warmth and paint the interior in a warmer color scheme.

When daylight becomes significantly less, it is worth thinking about artificial additional sources. Floor lamps and table lamps, for example, require only one nearby outlet. Their beauty is that you don’t have to scratch the walls for a sunny mood in the evenings.

To match the season. With the help of warm colors and whimsical natural decor, you can create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere in your home.
Who said that autumn is sadness and despondency? The palette of this time of year has a lot of warm shades that can bring unique comfort and warmth to your home. As soon as the pumpkins have ripened, the viburnum has turned red, and the birch trees have turned yellow, the slightly frivolous summer breeze in the interior can be replaced by a more sedate and warm autumn breath. How to do this without much effort and expense?
1. Autumn colors
Traditional fall colors are reminiscent of Moroccan style colors: orange, gold, brown, deep purple, terracotta, yellow and burgundy. In order for the house to be filled with autumn warmth and softness, you need to increase the listed shades in the interior.
The easiest way to do this is with textiles and soft parts: decorative pillows, curtains, tablecloths, napkins, carpets and blankets. The rich autumn palette goes well with basic shades of white, beige, gray or black. But combinations of bright green with lemon or blue and raspberry are best left for the summer.
Accents and contrasting touches can be made in red, pale pink, dark green or dark blue. The desired color scheme and warm atmosphere will be created by pieces of furniture and accessories made of natural wood, branches, metal and clay. Homemade decor made from natural materials looks especially harmonious in the autumn interior.
2. Bed revolution
You can bring an autumn atmosphere to your bedroom by replacing light bedspreads and sheets in fresh shades of blue and white with textiles with a denser texture and warm colors. Perhaps in the summer most of the bed's furniture was hidden in the pantry or the back corner of the closet. It's time to return them to the interior to fill the atmosphere with softness and warmth.
You can play with the palette using colorful pillows, several layers of blankets, bedspreads and rugs. Faux fur products bring special warmth.
To create a cozy autumn atmosphere, bedding sets with images of leaves, sunflowers, ears of corn and autumn berries are suitable.
Above you can hang a picture, photo collage or a bright autumn-themed accessory. It is good to dilute the lighting with several voluminous candles and homemade candlesticks.
3. Fruit plate
It’s so easy to let in the breath of autumn with one simple decorative touch - a vase with fresh autumn fruits and berries (apples, pears, plums, grapes, rowan berries, viburnum, etc.). You can place it either in the middle of the dining table in the kitchen or on the coffee table in the living room.
Do you want more autumn? Fill a beautiful wicker basket with fruit that can become a visual focal point in any room. Instead of perishable fruits, gifts from the forest are also suitable: pine cones, dry branches, yellowed leaves, acorns.
4.
The main attribute of All Saints' Day, the most popular autumn holiday, is a pumpkin. It will become a wonderful element in the design of the autumn interior. There are a lot of options for using this vegetable: from a pile of several pumpkins in the free space of a room or on the porch of a private house, to funny “snowmen” and beautiful tabletop compositions from miniature plant varieties.
Mini pumpkins are great for dining table decorations. To match the current high-tech and fashion for metal, pumpkins can be painted in silver, bronze and golden colors. They will look beautiful on plain trays along with nuts, cinnamon rolls, pine cones, yellow leaves and candles.
5. Seasonal bouquets
Like seasonal fruits, fall flowers also convey good mood. Hydrangeas, dahlias, immortelle flowers, gerberas, mini sunflowers and even roses would be appropriate for floral arrangements in the autumn interior. When choosing colors, it is important to maintain the autumn color scheme with a predominance of yellow, orange, red and brown.
A bright accent in the bouquet will be branches with rowan, sea buckthorn, small apples, ears of corn and maple leaves. As a base, it is better to prefer containers with a rougher, natural texture: clay vases, wooden barrels, copper jugs. Such compositions are ideally combined with a homemade pumpkin vase.
6. The power of fire
Not only rich colors and thick textiles will fill the autumn interior with warmth, but also real fire created by candles. They look good both in compositions with fruits, flowers, spices, and as independent decoration.
A special autumn color and charm comes from antique brutal metal candlesticks. They can be hung in the yard of the house, on the patio, or used to decorate the dining table, bedside table or coffee tables.
The simplest option for a handmade autumn candlestick is a transparent stand filled with nuts, berries or decorated with leaves.
7. China shop
Another simple way to add autumn notes to your interior is to use dishes with autumn colors or themes. In addition to their main use, autumn-style plates and cups can be displayed in display cabinets, placed along the fireplace, or even attached to the walls. If you have monochromatic dishes at your disposal, it is good to combine 2-3 colors at once. For example, orange and black, yellow, brown and burgundy. Since the red tint is less common in the autumn landscape, it can be used to create bright accents in the form of a red vase, napkins or tray.
The light of the rays of the autumn sun is well conveyed by the equipment made of colored transparent glass in yellow and orange shades. These can be bottles of unusual shapes or decorative vases. Elongated transparent glass containers filled with various autumn gifts look elegant: ears of corn, vegetables, fruits and leaves.
8. Home
On cool autumn evenings you want to warm up by a real fire. At home, this can be done near a real fireplace or stove. But even the presence of an artificial fireplace in the house creates an additional feeling of warmth and comfort.
The role of fire in a false fireplace will be played well by volumetric candles. Decorative pumpkins, yellowed leaves, and garlands of seasonal flowers and fruits will add autumn ambience.
9. Layered carpets
During the cold season, you want more warm elements in the interior. In addition to fur blankets, flannel bedspreads and flokati, the degree of heat will increase, laid in two or three layers. For example, you can throw a cotton rug over a sisal covering, and a faux fur skin over a regular wool carpet. This rug design will create visual interest and a feeling of warmth and softness that you want to plunge into on cool autumn evenings.
10. Harvest wreath
When it comes to fall home decor, few people ignore this attribute. There are many options for creating it. Everyone can choose their own combinations of materials and shades. Yellow leaves, autumn grasses, cones with rowan branches look especially good.
A satin ribbon, a piece of mesh or rough canvas will add an elegant accent. Usually the wreath is placed on a door or wall, but it will also fit well into the table decor if you place it with several voluminous candles in the center.
If, with the onset of autumn, you want to decorate your home and bring a warm, cheerful atmosphere into it, then this article from Krestik will definitely come in handy. You will be surprised, but to create autumn room decor with your own hands, sometimes! You just need it :)

A fairly simple way to decorate the interior of a room is to hang a garland in it, in this case an autumn one.
Cut out various leaves from colored cardboard or scrapbooking paper, use an awl or hole punch to make holes in them, then assemble the garland with twine or any other thread.

Only in a poem about autumn could the expressive phrases “sad time” and “charm of the eyes” be used so closely - in one line.
It is not for nothing that the great Russian poet glorified the beauty of autumn nature, because only bright colors and welcome coolness after a hot summer can somehow help in the fight against the autumn blues. Therefore, it is not for nothing that it has now become so popular to decorate unique “autumn corners” in your homes. Autumn home decor, which is very diverse, will help you bring something bright, warm and natural into your interior.
Even in childhood, during labor lessons, we were all taught to make crafts from natural materials, although at that time it could hardly be considered art, even though our parents praised our creations. Now the material for such crafts has not changed at all, but the execution technique, product options and ideas on how to decorate a house in the fall have become much more interesting, original and beautiful.
The same natural materials known from childhood are used as materials for decorating the house: dry autumn leaves that have been “processed for the herbarium” and kept under pressure in old books, dry ears of cereal crops, branches and dried flowers, acorns and their caps, pine and fir cones, plant seeds, autumn fruits and berries, as well as any other autumn attributes.
For example, you can make a wonderful one from acorns.
Interesting autumn interior decor can be created even without a combination of several elements. Shiny acorns poured into a tall glass look impressive as a decorative component of the minimalist style. You can also decorate candlesticks with acorns, without particularly focusing on the details, because acorns in large quantities themselves are a bright accent in the interior. A basket or decorative bucket with pine cones on a windowsill or chest of drawers will look very original and even fabulous.
This autumn home decor has a huge advantage: it does not require any time to decorate. You just need to look for and collect acorns and cones, and for this you only need to visit an oak or coniferous forest once. For those who are an avid mushroom picker or skillfully use other gifts of the forest, you can take an extra bag for natural materials when going on your next hike.
During any walk in the forest or park, you can immediately make a bouquet of autumn leaves, which will look good on the windowsill or dining table at home.
When you create complex compositions and come up with interesting options for how to decorate your house in the fall, you can look in the pantry or take old baskets from friends, various interesting pots or bottles, unnecessary leaky buckets or forged candlesticks and decorate them. For those who like to decorate the house themselves, every little thing and old thing in the household will come in handy.
To decorate the interior, you can also use a natural base: for example, to make one, you can make a base from flexible branches.
Bouquet decoration
One of the simplest, but no less beautiful options for interior decoration is a bouquet of autumn leaves, cereals or dried flowers. This interior detail is more suitable for the kitchen or hallway, but even the living room can sparkle with new colors if you choose the right combination.
The most ordinary bouquet of autumn leaves looks interesting in clay dishes, and dried flowers go well with glass. Cereals can not even be placed in a vase, but simply placed on the windowsill, first tied with twine or another plant.
A single dry branch looks beautiful, which can be placed in a floor or table vase. Children, who always enjoy decorating a Christmas tree before the New Year, can also be allowed to decorate an autumn tree: you can hang pine cones, acorns or crafts made from them on a branch using ribbons.
The most lush and elegant bouquets are made from autumn flowers in combination with leaves and branches. For such a bouquet you can use anything bright that is still left in the garden or vegetable garden. A special element of any bouquet will be physalis - these orange “bombs” always delight the eye and give a playful mood.
It is now popular to create flowers from autumn leaves, mainly maple leaves. By bending and twisting them, you can make buds that look like roses. Three or five of these “roses” framed by other leaves will make a successful bouquet that will delight not only in autumn, but also in winter, spring, and even summer.
Wreaths for interior
Another popular trend in creating an autumn mood in the home is wreaths. Wreaths of autumn leaves look beautiful on the heads of girls, but in the interior they generally work wonders. In general, in Europe or America, wreaths decorate entrance doors, but in our apartment buildings such decorations are unlikely to look appropriate on metal doors. Owners of country residences are lucky: they can afford to decorate the garden or entrance to the house in this way. However, others should not despair. Similar autumn interior decor looks original on kitchen doors, hallway walls or windows. Also, with the help of a wreath or several wreaths, you can beautifully decorate the beam in the kitchen.
Typically, such wreaths are made from the same dry leaves or cereals, which you need to be careful with so that they do not break. Wire or small boards are used as a base, onto which the components of the wreath are glued or tied. Clusters of ordinary or chokeberry, wild grapes, small apples or their imitation can be added to wreaths.
By the way, wax dummies of autumn gifts look like real ones, but do not deteriorate and will delight you for more than one season. In addition, they are much lighter than their counterparts, and therefore more versatile in use.
An original autumn home decor in the form of a wreath can be made from acorns and their caps or cones. By gluing them together, you can get a decorative solid wreath, which can also take its rightful place in the interior of the living room, kitchen, office or hallway.
In the same way, you can use chestnuts, plant seeds, dry sticks, tree bark and other natural materials. The only condition for creating a wreath is its completeness and isolation. If you don’t achieve it, you can easily create other interesting compositions.
Creating compositions
There are many ideas on how to decorate your home in the fall, and you can always come up with something of your own, unique and inimitable. What’s most interesting is that it’s almost impossible to oversaturate the interior with autumn attributes. The best thing about fall home decor is that you can experiment with it with almost impunity. Autumn warm colors and natural textures look appropriate in any interior style and any room: from the bathroom to the bedroom.
Of course, you shouldn’t tie more dry herbs or leaves to every shelf and to every protruding part of the interior, otherwise the house will turn into the lair of a witch from fairy tales. For the rest, you can completely rely on your imagination.
The simplest autumn interior decor that does not require either material or time is simple compositions of apples, cones, acorns, twigs, leaves and rowan berries. Their simplicity will not make them look worse; rather, on the contrary. For the currently popular high-tech or minimalist styles, such decorative elements are considered the most suitable.
A dry twig with berries in a vase, apples in a glass dish-candlestick, single leaves framed on canvas are interesting in their simplicity. They will decorate both the dining table and the mantelpiece or niche in the wall.
