hi guys welcome back to our channel the number one place for people who love design
art and all things creative i'm jacqueline and i'm an interior architect and designer here at dnb and
in today's video i'm going to be sharing with you how to give your home cozy autumn vibes ah
the months to enjoy crisp air scarves jumpers cinnamon and apple everything
and of course it marks the time when we can officially start watching harry potter as usual
here in the uk the weather has been a mixed bag august was and then the summer weather
decided to make an appearance in september but now we're back to classic british rain
which of course has started to get me into the autumn mood and also want to hibernate just like
how animals hibernate as the months get colder we also have the tendency to want to stay in
when it's colder outside when it gets darker at night earlier and just cozy up inside our homes
i don't know where in the world you're watching this from but here in london it gets dark at like
4 p.m in the fall so having that cozy sanctuary space where i can spend my time and relax
is very much needed and i just thought i'd share with you some ways to incorporate
autumn decor into your home how to create that cozy hygge atmosphere and also a few halloween
elements too because it wouldn't quite be full without it so if you're interested let's jump in
i'm pretty sure that if you're watching this video you're probably lovers of autumn just like
i am and in that case you're probably already accustomed to seeing pumpkin decorations and
hanging autumn leaf bunting and garland so i'm not gonna dwell on those too much because you
guys know the drill i would say that i'm not too crazy about buying real pumpkins unless i'm going
to eat them otherwise it's just a complete waste of food so instead ones that i love are these
glass pumpkins i think that they are really classy compared to plastic ones that you find everywhere
and the best feature these have are that you can place the clear glass ones in any
style interior and it will look great moving on to try and build that cozy atmosphere i have
a really easy starting point to help you piece together how to create a hygge feel in your house
so start off by thinking about what is not cosy to you this trick will make your life so much easier
let me explain mine as an example for me the least cozy interior is one that is very light in color
that is illuminated by big windows shiny reflective surfaces like marble and hard plastics
the furniture is very straight lined and not very textiles in sight basically a very austere and
clinical interior once you know that information you can then flip that into what you do find
cozy so using darker tones covering windows with curtains to darken the room using natural
non-reflective materials like wood and matte effect paint furniture that isn't all angular
and adding fabrics throughout the space i think that this exercise will really help you to become
crystal clear on what you find cozy remember that we're trying to create a cozy feel to our interior
so think about what things make you feel those full vibes for me i think i love autumn so much
because it's the time where i can enjoy the warmth of our homes and just something about sitting on
my sofa with a cup of tea watching an autumnal film makes me happy maybe even make a mood board
or pinterest board to really get you into that cozy full feeling and see what kind of atmosphere
you want to create in your interior space okay let's talk about injecting autumnal colors
into your home autumn is all about using darker versions of color so that it creates a cocooning
warming feel some classic tones to include within your scheme are teal plum maroon burgundy mustard
moss green and of course burnt oranges the reason for this is because so much of why we love fall
is because of the change in nature outside so these colors really reflect a classic
autumn landscape now the atmosphere of an interior can completely be changed by the lighting that's
been used and because we're trying to create a warming sensation that can easily be created by
using warm toned lighting i would suggest using bulbs that have a slightly yellow tinge to them
rather than ones that are stark white and also buying a dimmer switch can really create the
perfect environment to relax in i also want to say that to evoke that full feeling in the home you
also have to be thinking about what smells hygge maybe you like the smell of an apple and cinnamon
pie or just classic pumpkin spice whatever your preference is make sure to incorporate that into
your home by using scented candles my favorite one was one from ikea i got it years ago but i don't
know the name because all ikea candles look the same but it smelled like pecan pie so ever since
then around this time of year i always buy a pecan scented candle and the last one i tried out was
this natural soy candle by cozy glow it's so sweet and nutty and it just fills my home with an autumn
smell another way to incorporate candles into your home is of course by using tea lights and
you can usually buy a big bag for a good price and then jazz them up with candle holders specifically
look for ones that are yellow amber in color as these really add a glow to the light in fact
i think any amber light fixture would look amazing and instantly add a warm glow to your space
to carry on that golden light in your home think about adding golden accents golden
accent pieces are great because they reflect the light so that it intensifies the light from their
surrounding lamps you can add gold by using brass ornaments furniture or even just picture frames
i feel like in every video i talk about plants but no interior would be fully complete without a
couple plants ones that i recommend for creating that awesome feeling are chrysanthemums which
are of course bright orange which instantly adds that full vibe but if you're thinking more about
halloween and want more of a creepy look then i absolutely would go for dried flower bouquets
that add a rustic farmyard feel like i said before the natural environment that changes in the fall
can influence our design decisions a lot so you could take that one step further and include some
natural elements in your interior in the form of artwork or decorations such as acorns or conkers
mushrooms leaves you get the idea and of course you can be as minimal or over the
top with the amount you decide to pick because i know all of us have different tastes right
however one thing i think we can all agree on is that an autumn interior wouldn't be complete
without a cozy blanket on the sofa my favorite ones are of course chunky knit woolen ones
so hygge and comforting more textual pieces that i think would work really well are linen curtains
because they're quite dense they also create that cocooning sensation and act as a heat barrier
between the outside and inside throw pillows and cushions are easy ways to create a cozy feel
just because they add little pockets of texture to a space and my favorite for fall are velvets
boucle wool and tan faux leather thick fabrics and shaggy textures are an absolute must for creating
a warming look in any interior now i didn't really want to talk about larger furniture pieces because
i thought that you guys would care more about the smaller decor but just in case you want to
and pop the cozy then i do have a few furniture pieces too i think a love seat is the perfect
sofa to snuggle up in and read a book it's just the perfect addition to any living room but for
an interior that's a little more contemporary and edgy i really think woven tan leather chairs would
be great because they have both texture as well as being an autumnal color fabric headboards are also
perfect for adding texture and warmth so maybe think about jazzing up your bed by swapping out
your wooden one for a thick fabric one i could definitely see myself drinking a hot chocolate
and lying in that bed for hours if you've always liked the idea of a navy kitchen then this is the
perfect time to transform your cabinets and give them a lick of paint although i know that painting
your whole kitchen is a huge commitment but navy is the perfect color for fall so what better time
right speaking of kitchens let's also talk about kitchenware swapping out normal kitchenware to
autumn kitchenware is great for people who don't want their house to look like the pumpkin fairy
threw up in it so smaller decor like kitchenware is a great way to go all out and autumnal if
you're like me my weekends are time for me to wind down on my sofa relax enjoy some chocolate and
watch a film so of course some nice wine glasses are a must if you want to enjoy a cocktail or some
apple cider then these moscow mule mugs would be perfect of course a cozy evening wouldn't be
complete without cheese and biscuits or if youre like me the sweet stuff instead and a perfect way
to mix good food with a cozy feel is by using some of these chunky wooden serving boards
they come in so many different shapes and i think that these definitely create a hygge interior
for the daytime autumnal mugs are of course a great option and i personally think that stoneware
plates and mugs work well too as they play into the earthier look and feel of autumn
i like to think that there's a formula we can all follow when it comes to creating a cozy
autumn interior space first off warmth and a sense of heat is super important
what we don't want is to feel cold in any way secondly there's the use of a darker color palette
forming a golden glow in the space to radiate light picking up on natural earthy elements that
come from the outdoors adding texture and warming fabrics for extra coziness and having an autumnal
scent throughout the house always these are my six key elements for transforming your normal interior
into a cozy autumn sanctuary so you can use that outline when decorating your home for fall
