How we chose these autumn decor collections
Louise Oliphant
There are many retailers out there offering autumn buys for your home. Think pumpkins a-plenty, winter spiced scented candles and all the throws and cushions you can think of. But deciding where to shop, and the best places to buy from will depend on a few factors. Whether you’re wanting to spend a lot or a little, are looking to buy from small businesses or purchase items that match your already very modern aesthetic, will all play a part.
The places we’ve listed above offer cute, budget-friendly buys to help cosy-up your home in colours of orange, red, green and brown. What’s autumn decor without a fall palette right? They’re our favourite stores, that are often featured in our buying guides and collection release announcements. So whatever seasonal piece you find, you’re sure to love it – after all, I couldn’t resist splurging on a few whilst shopping myself. They get my guarantee!
When should you put up autumn decor?
There’s no rule book to follow when it comes to decorating for autumn. That being said, new research from bedding retailer Secret Linen Store confirms the official date you should start styling your home for the season is 17th August.
Molly Freshwater, co-founder of Secret Linen Store (opens in new tab) comments: “Our research shows that whether the summer is fading or not, from the 17th August we’re looking forward to the next season and all its creature comforts; longing for sweater weather, pumpkin spice, soft lighting and super soft blankets. If you’ve been scrolling on TikTok recently, you can see so many people wishing for those cosy autumn interiors again.”
How do I make a home cosy for autumn?
There are more than a few autumn decor ideas and trends to try out whilst cosying up your home. Aside from turning the heating on (which we’re all avoiding this year), you can make your space cosy in other (less expensive) ways. There’s a classic formula: light a candle (and these are our favourite scented candles for autumn), chuck a throw on the sofa and cook a casserole, for example. And while you’re at it, you could read your latest Real Homes’ subscription, since there’s an autumn offer to be had.
Otherwise, we’ve got plenty of guides that will help you get into the spirit. From autumn fireplace ideas to autumn tablescapes, so that you can start making notes.
