Summer has been pouncing on us with heatwaves for months (Oh, and pollen as well), but thankfully it’s about to end. And then the season changes into autumn. As the crisp air of autumn rolls in, with the promise of comfy jumpers, pumpkin spiced latte and rustling leaves, it’s the perfect time to transform your kitchen into a cosy haven that reflects the warmth and beauty of the season. (Psst, let’s get ready before everyone else does.)
Embrace Earthy Tones
The rich, earthy tones are usually emblematic of autumn. Think the colour palette of deep oranges, warm browns, rustic reds, and golden yellows.
It might be perfect to change the wall colour of your kitchen with a warm shade of cinnamon or terracotta, contributing to the overall autumnal aesthetic. But don’t forget the details: kitchen textiles, such as table runners, kitchen rugs, curtains, which can be upgraded with an autumn-inspired plaid pattern or colour that resonate with the season. (In case I forget to tell you, to de-clutter is always important before attempting to start all these kitchen decor ideas.)
Incorporate Natural Elements
Nature is the best source of inspiration for autumn decor. Invite the outdoors to your kitchen by decorating with natural elements such as acorns, pine cones, branches, dried wheat stalks and seasonal flowers.
A bright colour centerpiece is always right and essential for an autumn kitchen. The seasonal flowers and pumpkins are just perfect.
Apart from the centerpiece, consider displaying the rest on the open shelves of a kitchen cupboard, or using them as a part of the table setting for your kitchen table together with fresh foliage or fallen leaves in a golden hue. A wreath made of dried leaves or flowers hung on a kitchen door or window can also add a subtle yet striking autumnal touch. By the way, remember to decorate the kitchen trolley with a silly pumpkin as well.
Add Texture of Wood
Wooden accents are perfect for adding the natural aesthetic. Investing in some wooden kitchen shelf units or wall shelves from colour beige, yellow to colour brown that just matches your fall kitchen can be a good storage idea as well as a decor idea. You can create more storage space to better organise your Mason jars, vases, kitchen utensils and kitchen appliances such as air fryers, coffee machines and ovens. Most importantly, a cosier, warmer atmosphere with the real wooden tactile is there.
Use Seasonal Furniture
To fully capture the essence of autumn, try to update your kitchen furniture. A wooden farmhouse table paired with upholstered chairs in an earthy tone or kitchen stools in a rustic feel can serve as the perfect gathering spot for family meals, while stools with a natural wood finish or metal bar stools with an industrial feel are nice for a kitchen island or a breakfast bar. (Again, the autumn colour palette matters!)
Harvest to the Kitchen
Autumn is a season of harvest. If you opt for quintessential autumn indulgence, go to the market and find some harvests, such as gourds, pumpkins, apples and pears (These seasonal fruits and vegetables are decorative and also edible~). Display them with a wicker storage basket on the countertop or kitchen island to bring the autumn feel. Well, don’t miss to hang the dried rosemary, thyme or other herbs with an aromatic appeal to awake your sense of smell.
With a few thoughtful changes, your kitchen will not only look the part but also become a cosy, inviting space where you can enjoy all the comforts. So, get creative, and make your kitchen a taste of autumn that you and your family will love all season long.
