"As we enter Autumn (or, for our friends across the pond, Fall), blankets are coming out, rugs are being laid, and we can practically hear that winter duvet begging to be let out of the cupboard. But while it's tempting to close the door on the summer and jump head-first into the wooly world of Quarter 3, it can be easy to take the Autumn vibe too far, and end up with an interior that looks, in the words of one expert, cheap and tacky."
"Sayonara Rell, founder of interior design visualisation service Sayo Designs, told Creative Bloq that five particular Autumn decorating fails instantly make homes look cheap. "Every September, I see the same decorating disasters repeated across social media and in real homes," she says. "Homeowners think more is better when it comes to seasonal décor, but the result often looks like a garden centre explosion rather than a stylish, welcoming space.""
Seasonal decorating can quickly become cluttered when homeowners assume more is better. Excessive pumpkins across surfaces creates a 'pumpkin explosion' that reads like a patch rather than a curated interior. Uniform bright orange across rooms produces a dated, harsh aesthetic. A refined palette of burgundy, terracotta, forest green and grounding neutrals like cream or charcoal offers a sophisticated autumn alternative. Limiting decorative pumpkins to three-to-five pieces in varied materials and mixing softer colours such as sage and cream improves cohesion. Over-decorating results in a garden-centre look instead of a stylish, welcoming space.
