What's an ideal autumn day? Probably a walk around in the morning on a day off, and then in the afternoon or evening, curled up under a blanket in the living room, enjoying a slower pace as the night falls and it gets colder. And if we relax in the living room, why not pay a bit of attention to this area of the home?
It doesn't take much to enhance a living room, just read on to find out more:
Tips to create an autumnal atmosphere in the living room
Blankets and pillows: they shouldn't just be beautiful, but they should becomfortable and tailored for us. The size, material, shape, etc. - all together, they should transform the sofa into anirresistible cocoon. And, of course, it's better if they have colors or patterns that specifically remind us of autumn.
So choosing wool and velvet fabrics will provide the warm and enveloping tones and feel that capture the essence of autumn.
Soft lights for a relaxing atmosphere
In the home, it's always good to have different light points situated in every room to modulate the amount of light that will illuminate each space. And even better if they are adjustable/dimmable.
So, in autumn, the preference tends to be towards soft and warm lights. And given this, it's a great time to use lanterns and candles!
Nature in autumn
If you like having floral arrangements at home, update them to fit the autumn mood: colored leaves, dried branches, and perhaps even pinecones are a perfect combination to achieve this.
Items to add for a perfect autumn living room
Let's talk about decorative objects, or better still, glass vases: in autumn, select amber-colored ones! They match modern or classic furnishings and have that warm color that is always appealing. If you want to opt for a slightly more rustic and traditional look, then consider copper or brass colorings.
The colors to focus on will be warm tones: red, burgundy, but also copper, ochre and burnt sienna. So, if you have a predominantly white or neutral-colored living room, you can simply change the pillows, blankets, and decorations with others in these shades. It's an easy way to refresh the decor without making major changes.
Another tip to change the look of the living room is to focus on a single detail: for example, changing the curtains! In autumn, we prefer the curtains to be heavier, both for thermal insulation and for the decor. You could consider velvet curtains in warm and elegant colors, for example.
How to live the living room during autumn? Adapt it to what you like
If this is the time of year when you enjoy indulging in having some evening drinks, it's a good idea to showcase the bar cart or drinks cabinet, stocking it with everything you like. And if it's not always the moment for alcoholic beverages, it could be the time for your favorite autumn teas or herbal infusions!
Do you relax better while listening to your favorite music? Why not create a dedicated corner for this? Ideally, you already have a sound system and all your favorite albums, but you can easily add a quality portable speaker that connects via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, a comfortable chair, and a small table.
For others, a relaxing afternoon while it's raining or cold outside means reading a good book. And here is an example of a cozy corner dedicated to this, with its lamp, chair, blanket, and table.
