Just like every holidays or every season, the autumn decor can be timeless, but it also has its own microtrends. In recent years, more and more designers have stretched into natural textures, rich colors and cozy accents – which means that they have a step back from other elements. Before you bring out your decorations this year, it may be time to carry out an exam for these outdated trends.
Overload of the harvest
Social media may convince you that you need an entire pumpkin patch on your veranda, but Cheyenne Wilson, founder of the eldest daughter in the forests, Texas, insists that this is unnecessary. “Hay bales, which are stacked on verands, bundle of art cornstalls and pumpkins in every corner, can leave a home more staged than in the life,” she explains. “Most of us don't live on a farm, and we don't have to pretend that we are doing it.”
You can still make a statement without transforming your home into a barn with intentional accents. Think about it as follows: If you have a room full of bright colors, you don't know where to look, but if you only have bright colors, your eye will be drawn to you immediately.
Faux everything
It is always an option to run into the handicraft business to get Pappage-Mâché-Kurbisse and Faux spider website, but the chances that you will end up soon than later on a landfill. And in the age of minimalism, it is worth asking whether you want to use this decor for a few months all year round.
“When I entertained with customers about the transition from the mood of their home from summer to autumn, I encourage you to think about what would be helpful and not harmful,” says Emily Davis, founder of Emily Davis Interiors in Tulsa, Oklahoma. “If you snap a branch of seasonal color out of your garden or exchange your dryer leaf holder for a Schildhellbox, your houses continue to make your daily life and nodded before the changing season.”
Buffalo check
“Buffalo Check used to feel festive, but now it reads more like a costume,” says Wilson. “When it appears on each individual pillow and blankets, it decreases the texture and color in which a room lives.”
Instead of the bold, high contrasting pattern, Wilson recommends softer prints such as a steamed plaid or feminines. Even solid litters in earthy colors can create the same cosiness, she says. The chances are good that these options also match their everyday decor, which becomes more coherent and more deliberate for their space.
“Farmhouse case” sign
Although they once felt charming, we do not need signs that remind us of “gathering” or being “grateful”. As the old saying says, it is usually more effective to show instead of telling. “A house does not need to remember memory to feel inviting,” says Wilson. “A framed, handwritten recipe or the smell of seasonal back cooling at the counter says it better than any sign.”
