With earlier sunsets, leaves changing into shades of orange and red, and talk of cinnamon buns in the air, there’s no mistaking it – autumn has arrived.
The season brings warm colours, natural textures, and a desire to spend more time indoors, making it the perfect opportunity to add an extra layer of cosy to your home – including the kitchen.
Whether your kitchen is modern or traditional, it’s a great place to embrace autumn’s charm.
Let these ideas help you bring that cosy, seasonal feeling into the heart of your home.
Add Decorative Wall Panels That Look Like Wood
Bring the beauty of the changing season indoors through wood rather than focusing on the changing colours of leaves. By incorporating wood rather than autumnal colours, you’re making an interior decision that will work throughout the year.
Adding actual wood can be costly, which is why slat panels and wood-effect panels are a great alternative.
Incorporate Gingham
Forget the notion that gingham is a summer fabric, especially gingham that’s red and white or green and white.
Gingham is a familiar and charming pattern that can be incorporated in subtle ways throughout a kitchen, whether it’s a pair of oven gloves or curtains.
Switch to warm lighting
Autumn is known as cosy season for a reason, as the living room becomes a haven to escape the chilly days. The kitchen also has the capacity to be a cosy room you’re excited to walk into through one simple switch – warm lighting.
Whether it’s switching out ceiling light bulbs, adding a lamp to your kitchen work bench, or strategically hanging fairy lights at the top of kitchen cabinets or to frame a window, the effect can transform the space.
Add a touch of nostalgia
The influence of 90’s and early 2000’s film and television shows is even more prevalent in autumn, as people turn to their comfort shows now they’re spending more time indoors.
As well as serving an entertainment purpose, this media also inspires decorative choices within the home. This year, it’s about adding a small television and VHS set in the kitchen for that ultimate dose of nostalgia. The best part? It’s a trend can be thrifted.
Bringing the beauty of autumn into your home couldn’t be simpler. Whether it’s the warmth of wood, a touch of nostalgia, or a small decorative detail.
