Keeping Your Home Stylish As The Seasons Changes
While the calendar would have us believe that autumn doesn’t begin before September 23rd, many of us have had to throw a chunky cardigan over their summer dress from time to time? The scorching summer temperatures we were all expecting didn’t last for more than a handful of days. A war weekend does not summer make.
Therefore, it’s essential to know how to transition stylishly from one season to another. Indeed, while it might be too early to get your winter coat on, you can certainly use a few golden rules to stay cosy and stylish. Layering is a no-brainer. Not only does it add texture and movement to your outfit, but it also keeps your warm and elegant.
Your best friends during the transitional period are multi-functional pieces that can keep your outfit together while protecting you from the weather. Accessorising is another crucial rule of dressing for the weather with little and thoughtful touches. And finally, you need to consider your footwear. Ankle boots are the perfect ally for this season!
But while you can stylishly transition your outfit from a season to another, can you do the same with your home decor? Here are a few tips to get you started.
Adding layers to your home
Your home needs to get ready for the cold months. It’s time to dress up your interior by adding layers that will keep you warm and cosy. For instance, a kitchen rug is a good choice to keep your feet warm when you’re preparing your morning cuppa. You can also consider keeping a few elegant throws and thin blankets by the sofa so that you can watch your favourite TV show without getting cold.
Multi-functional pieces
Summer is a striped back season, where you can easily create a minimalist decor. However, comes autumn and you need to prepare for varying temperatures without letting winter elements take over your interior. You’d be pleased to know that a home designer has already thought of the issue and she’s selected multi-functional pieces that keep your home cosy and stylish. An elegant painting hides a radiator; it’s the perfect combination of style and practicality.
Accessorise
The summer decor typically consists of fresh flowers declining all the colours of the rainbow and some of your favourite summer accessories, such as a large straw hat resting on the back of the sofa. You want to replace those summery elements with rich and warm autumnal accessories. A few shabby chic fabric pumpkins on the shelves can transform the atmosphere in the room. You can even pick a soft floral fabric that tones down your pumpkins.
All eyes on feet
Your feet need to be the centre of all attention. Indeed, who says autumn says rain. The last thing you want is for your interior to be ruined by muddy footprints. If you haven’t already, now’s the time to buy a quirky doormat that will take care of everything for you. As to whether the doormat should be placed indoors or outdoors, most people reckon than keeping your doormat inside ensures that everybody can wipe off their shoes comfortably. You wouldn’t want to wipe your feet in the rain, would you?
Transitioning into autumn can be tricky. It’s a season of rain and wind, which means that your interior is unlikely to maintain its pristine appearance. However, with a little creative thinking, you can transform the cold and gloomy autumnal days into a cosy and welcoming decor!
