Autumn; the clocks go back, the nights draw in, the leaves start falling, and we all crave a warm and cosy home! You’d be amazed at how far subtle decor additions go in changing the ambience of your home living space. At Magenta Self Storage, we’re here to offer a few delightful autumn house decor tips for you.

Make the most of warm intimate lighting

Try creating a chilled-out vibe in autumntime by using calming lamps and wall lights with warm bulbs around your home. Warm bulbs as opposed to cool bulbs provide your house with ambient shades of orange, red and yellow to match the leaves outside. With rising energy prices in mind, be sure to opt for energy-saving LED bulbs.

Fun pumpkin-themed decorations

There is a long history in the UK of carved ghost-like pumpkins being used at Halloween as reminders of death to scare away any nasty neighbours! October is the time for a nod to Halloween. But if you’re not into ghosts and ghouls, pumpkins are the perfect home decor item to celebrate the season.

You can find pumpkin-themed decorations of all shapes, sizes and textures in the shops today. Opt for warming pumpkin-scented candles too to really bring the season to life.

Autumn wreaths

Having a wreath on your front door or anywhere around your home makes your home feel warm, cosy and welcoming. You can find countless trendy leaf-style wreaths that ooze all things autumn.

Seasonal wreath decorations aren’t just for Christmas time. Want to prepare your home for the autumn? Check out all the amazing wreaths available on marketplaces such as Etsy to set a nice tone for your autumnal abode.

Creative autumn tablecloths will lift your kitchen area

Autumn means indulging in wholesome foods such as soups, casseroles, stews and pies that warm the cockles of your heart. Is your kitchen part of the home you love spending time in during the autumn? If so, consider swapping in an autumn tablecloth to dress your dining space.

Autumnal design ideas could include pumpkins, brown leaves and warm colours and textures. You could even go one step further and get your hands on autumn-themed table napkins. It’s all about creating the right setting for your kitchen in the autumn.

Rugs and floor mats

Autumn-style rugs and floor mats with leaf designs or orange tones will enhance your floor space, making your place feel like home. When the summer has ended, you will spend more time indoors, and a snuggly rug will do wonders in upping your home’s cosy factor.

Not only that, but like curtains, rugs trap the heat to keep your space warmer in the colder months. Practical and beautiful – win-win!

Hiring a self storage unit could be a big help

So, you’ve accumulated lots of seasonal home decor items – but where do you store all of these when the seasons change? Hiring a self storage unit helps you to easily transition from one season to another with your home decor.

Free up your space and make room for the Christmas tree come December by packing away and storing your Autumn decor in a self storage unit. Maximising your home space and decluttering is important, especially if you have a large family with lots of household possessions.

Renting a unit at Magenta Storage’s secure storage facilities with state-of-the-art CCTV gives you somewhere safe to store your seasonal home decorations. We currently have 5 locations across the Midlands and South England, with a 6th opening soon in Reading.

The list goes on…

There are hundreds of different wholesome ideas for decorating your home in the autumn, and a lot of them are down to your personal taste. You can enjoy expressing your artistic creative side to get your seasonal home decor looking just right.
