How to Decorate for the Autumn Season
Written by: Ben Stone
As the summer fades, we welcome the crisp cosiness of autumn. Dark evenings, layers upon layers of soft-to-touch knits, warm drinks, and fleece blankets on the sofa are what the season is all about. So, set the mood for a memorable autumn in your household this year with autumn decorations that capture the essence of the season.

When to Decorate for Autumn
With autumn comes shorter days and greyer skies, so it’s best to decorate your home in a way that breathes warmth into your space as soon as the season rolls around. As September begins to round up, transition your summer décor into autumnal styles, just in time for October. If you’re a true lover of autumn, however, we think starting in September is perfectly reasonable, too! Think warm-hued indoor lighting and dried floral wreaths to welcome the season into your home.
Decorating Indoors in Autumn
Autumn décor looks just as good indoors as it does outdoors. So, after hanging your garlands and draping outdoor fairy lights on the patio, start thinking about the ways in which you can spice up your interior.
Let’s talk about why autumn décor works. As the days get duller, our homes rely on artificial lighting for warmth and ambience. Our collection of autumn lighting transforms your home into a relaxing sanctuary – the perfect environment for nestling into hot chocolate and watching a spooky film.
How to Decorate for Autumn
Styling Your Front Door
Your autumnal décor begins from the outside-in. Adorn your front door with an autumnal wreath, decorated with berries, leaves, and dry foliage. Dress it up with stylish outdoor lanterns on each of your porch steps to create a glowing pathway to your home.
Layering the Fireplace
The centrepiece of the living room, the fireplace should be the focal point of your autumn designs. Line the mantel with an autumn garland and micro fairy lights to make the space really sparkle as you sink into the sofa. Complete your fireplace with small pumpkin lights, nestled into your garland for that essential autumn spice.
Accessorise Your Dining Table
The chilly weather calls for hearty meals and flavourful dishes, so you can expect to be spending plenty of time around the dining table. Consider lining the centre of your table with an autumn leaf garland and plenty of TruGlow® candles. Known for their hassle-free nature, these LED battery candles introduce a touch of cosiness and sophistication to your space.
When Do You Take Autumn Decorations Down?
After the crisp autumn weather comes the chillier winter days – a season with its very own distinct aesthetic. Once Halloween passes, it’s time to start thinking about your seasonal lighting. Which begs the question: when will you be putting up your Christmas decorations?
Does mid-November feel right for you, or do you like to follow the 12 days of Christmas rule? In either case, this is the perfect opportunity to switch up your home’s aesthetic. So, as you take down your warm autumn lighting and orange-tinged décor, replace them with rich green wreaths and bright white fairy lights, ready for December.
