From furnishings to accessories, without forgetting the rituals that make the home atmosphere special and relaxed in autumn.
Autumn is the right season to slow down, to enjoy the house by focusing on small changes that make it always welcoming and up to date. It is the right time to do a bit of decluttering but also to complete any projects left pending, corners not yet furnished or to be reviewed because the needs have changed. You can dedicate yourself to solving, without rushing, unresolved choices, also allowing yourself small accessories that are not essential but decisive to define the mood and style of space.
These actions can involve every room of the house and in particular the living room transforming into an oasis of relaxation and laziness to share with guests on an autumn evening.
Refined textiles and enveloping upholstery
One of the first things that comes to mind when imagining a moment of autumn relaxation is an intimate and welcoming corner with an enveloping armchair, a soft plaid and a small table on which to place a book and herbal tea. The right seat, in this case, can make the difference and a perfect example is the Brasilia armchair designed by Anderssen & Voll for Audo Copenhagen, a Danish brand whose collections are characterized by neutral and natural colors as well as the recurring use of wood. A combination that is also in this armchair and invites you to rediscover the essence of the days and carve out a moment of relaxation.
An alternative for two is the Rico sofa by ferm Living, another Danish company: its roundness and generous proportions inspire relaxed and informal atmospheres.
When the temperature starts to drop, rather than immediately turning on the heating, it is advisable to rely on the comfort of a blanket of the highest quality and sophisticated design, such as the Architecture Throw in organic cotton by Kristina Dam Studio, whose design – as the name suggests – is inspired by the plan of a building. Or, in wool, the Eames Wool Blanket Dot Pattern by Charles and Ray Eames for Vitra.
Among the accessories to love in autumn there are also cushions: those from the Moor collection by ferm Living are in wool and bouclé cotton and in colors that recall the foliage while the Form&Refine brand offers Aymara a collection of plaids and cushions in Bolivian Alpaca wool.
To refine the space and make it warmer and more muffled you can’t miss a carpet in autumnal tones like the Wabisabi by Nanimarquina and the soft and white Colonnade by Cappelen Dimyr. In the perfect relaxation corner in autumn, as we said, a coffee table is useful: Insert Side Table by ferm Living is in natural wood or in two interesting colors, black and myrtle green. For a scenic and unique choice, you can opt for the suspended coffee table, in oak, Toupy by Mademoiselle Jo.
Classic accessories for new rituals
Not just comfort: to indulge pleasant autumn moments it is important to have the right accessories. For the classic herbal tea to sip to mark the end of daily commitments, you can indulge in a special teapot like the glass Kettle Teapot by Norm Architects for Audo Copenhagen, designed to perfection in both functionality and beauty. To be placed alongside a multipurpose tray like Bon by ferm Living in smoked oak.
To create the right atmosphere, soft lighting and soft scents are needed. For the former, a useful and trendy idea are rechargeable lamps that can be placed anywhere: Bagdad by Gubi evokes atmospheres of elsewhere while Cestita by Santa&Cole recalls, like its name, a basket with which to “transport” light everywhere.
Refined light and scents are those offered by the Baobab Collection candles that also stand out for the refined design in which they are contained and the same goes for the precious Weavers candle collection by Poltrona Frau.
For a visual tribute to autumn, it is nice to be inspired by still lifes and create a composition of seasonal fruit in a suitable container: in glass like Echasse by Audo Copenhagen, in wood like the sculptural Collar Object 008 by Roe Studio.
Finally, for music lovers who want to listen to it in a special and uncompromising way but also with a touch of style, the Radiofonografo by Brionvega is an authentic design icon and significantly characterizes the space in which it is placed, as well as LX by La boite Concept that allows you to relive the magical atmosphere of listening to vinyl but with a touch of contemporary design.
