As the nights begin to draw in, and the leaves on the trees transform to vibrant hues, bring this beautiful season indoors with some fabulous autumn decor. Autumn is our very favourite season here at Shelf Edge! We want you to embrace everything that the autumn season has to offer and you don’t even have to leave your house to do so! With our very best autumn decor ideas, you can create the cosy indoors of your dreams and make your space look and feel as snug and homey as possible.
Autumn curb appeal
Before you head indoors, make sure you spend some time twirling up your frontage! After all, it’s the first glimpse that neighbours and passers-by will get of your unwavering enthusiasm for fall and all the beauty it has to offer. For decorations that catch your visitors’ attention at eye level, deck out your door with a gorgeous fall-inspired wreath, like our pumpkin, pine cone and berry wreath. Or, what about an abundant garland draped around a window frame, like our rustic pine cone twig garland.
A warm glow
If you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace, this is the perfect time to take advantage of this! The beautiful wood smoke smell and the orangey glow is pure autumn joy. Decorate it with rich fall tones by draping one of our gorgeous oak leaf or maple leaf garlands made of fall foliage to top off the seasonal look. If you don’t have a fireplace, another wonderful use of fire is candles framed in delightfully autumnal candle rings. A warm orange glow gives the same instant lift to any room.
Seasonal scents
Candles are often overlooked as a decor piece, but they can change the whole atmosphere in a space almost instantly. Their smell can fill up a room with a secret scent, making it feel like a cold autumn day or a kitchen with a just-baked apple pie, depending on the scent you choose. Place candles on the mantel above your fireplace for a soft glow and cosy ambience. Or opt for a fall-themed candle ring, such as our autumn pumpkin, pine cone and berry candle holder, and place it on your coffee table. Try an autumnal scent like cinnamon sticks to go the extra mile.
Bring the outdoors in
The autumn season is known for its beautiful colours and textures, so why not bring those into the home? How about some pine cones displayed in a glass vase for an easy fall decor idea that you can switch out when needed. For a rustic feel, display some colourful maple leaves or oak tree leaves as a table centerpiece. Give some thought to the backdrop of your display and make sure you have the right foliage – like some Chinese lantern stems, burned orange eucalyptus bushes or maple leaf bushes. Remember artificial sprays and leaves are easier to set up, easier to take down, can be used again next year, and require far less maintenance and commitment!
Something spooky!
Incorporate child-friendly indoor fall decorations by embracing a Halloween theme. Hang spooky elements such as skull or bat garlands and drape some skeleton LED fairy lights around your home for everyone to enjoy. If you want to avoid overwhelming the space, choose simplistic decor items like a black and orange velvet pumpkin wreath to hang on your doors or mantels.
Don’t forget pumpkins
What would autumn be without pumpkins? So of course, you need to include them in your autumn decorations for that truly authentic feel. Our stunning artificial pumpkins are available in fabric, plastic and metal to fit any decor style. While they’re not suitable for carving, they can surround your carved, illuminated pumpkins to add weight to the display. How about creating an ornamental look in a vase with some assorted pumpkins and gourds or enjoy our pumpkin-inspired wreaths and garlands? Our plush velvet pumpkins will add a playful but cosy element to your sofa.
Here at Shelf Edge, we have an array of colourful autumn decor to make this wonderful season come alive for your displays. With so many autumn decorations to try, it’s never been easier to wave goodbye to summer and jump into autumn. Just be creative!
