Create seasonal autumnal floral displays
Autumn and fall are all about nature - think dropping yellow and red leaves and acorns appearing on the trees. Bring this into your room decor with earthy-coloured floral displays - from fall fireplace garlands to simple amber vases filled with dried blooms. The key is to keep to a seasonal colour palette; use flowers and foliage in shades of dark brown, burnt orange and soft yellow (and avoid anything green which signals new life).
I love this simple but effective autumnal flower arrangement in an Italian vase, created by Vervain Wedding Floristry.

Add an autumnal Front Door Wreath
A front door wreath is not just for Christmas! A wreath in warm orange autumnal tones creates a welcoming and inviting entrance. If you want to go further, why not create a long-lasting front door arch for fall like I did last year using a mix of natural red oak leaves and artificial autumnal flowers?

include Essential Autumn Candles
Autumnal interiors are all about creating a cosy and snug atmosphere, so candlelight is a must. Line up rustic pillar candles in earthy colours across a mantle for a simple nod to the season, or dot around delicate pumpkin-shaped soy candles for a cute addition to a shelf or a sideboard. For scent, look for autumnal candles with hints of fig, clove and cinnamon. You can’t go wrong with the signature Autumn Candle from The White Company or Diptyque’s Ambre in a warm glossy vessel.

Set a warm and cosy autumnal table
To create the ultimate fall tablescape, fold napkins to look like pumpkins and add tumblers in amber tones. For seasonal table runners and tablecloths for Halloween, check out Sophie Allport.

Scandi-style seasonal ornaments and decorations
For stylish autumn and Halloween decor that is cute rather than tacky, add simple decorations with a Scandi feel to them. Mushrooms and toadstools are a huge trend for AW23, so dot ceramic toadstool objects around the home. Painted ceramic pumpkins are a great rain day craft (I tend to use leftover tester pot paint for mine), while this felt garland from lights4fun would look great in a kids’ room.
