How to achieve the ultimate autumn style with vintage homeware

As the leaves start to change and the air becomes crisp, there's a certain magic that comes with the arrival of autumn. It's a season that invites us to cosy up and create a warm and inviting atmosphere in our homes. Vintage candlesticks, cosy grandma knits and wicker baskets all lend themselves really well to autumn decor.

Embrace Earthy Tones: Autumn is all about the rich, warm hues of nature. Think deep reds, burnt oranges, rustic browns, and golden yellows. Vintage decor often features these earthy tones, making it the ideal choice for creating an autumn-inspired ambiance. Look for vintage furniture, rugs, and textiles in these colours to anchor your space

 

Bring the outside in with antique and vintage wood: Antique furniture and accessories can add character and charm to your home. Consider incorporating a vintage wooden chest table into your decor. These pieces not only exude a rustic autumnal feel but also tell a story of times gone by.

Layer Textiles: Cosy is the keyword for fall decor. Layering textiles like vintage quilts, crochet blankets, and woollen throws can instantly transform your space into a warm and inviting haven. Opt for textiles with autumnal patterns such as plaid, checks, and floral prints.

Mix and Match Styles: Don't be afraid to mix and match different vintage styles to create a unique look. For instance, combine mid-century modern furniture with rustic farmhouse accents. This eclectic blend of styles can add depth and interest to your decor while still capturing the essence of autumn - at Avenue Sixty Five we love everything from antique to the 80s, don't pigeonhole yourself to one style.

 

Vintage Wall Art: Vintage wall art can be a striking focal point in any room. Look for old botanical prints, vintage maps, or sepia-toned photographs of autumn landscapes. These pieces not only evoke the season but also add a touch of nostalgia to your space.

 

Candles and Lanterns: Nothing sets the mood quite like soft, flickering candlelight. Vintage candleholders, lanterns, and candelabras can add a touch of elegance and warmth to your home. We have everything from sophisticated chrome to mid century ceramic candlesticks.

Display Seasonal Decor: Embrace the changing seasons by decorating with seasonal items like vintage pumpkins, gourds, and dried floral arrangements. These elements can be strategically placed throughout your home to infuse it with autumnal charm. These go really well paired with our vintage baskets

Vintage Table Settings: If you're hosting a fall gathering, set a vintage-inspired table with antique dinnerware and flatware. Add cloth napkins in autumnal coulors and a centerpiece of seasonal flowers or pinecones to complete the look.

With earthy tones, antique pieces, layered textiles, and a touch of creativity, you can transform your home into a warm and inviting haven that's perfect for embracing the beauty of the fall season. So, go ahead and explore your local antique shops, thrift stores, and flea markets to find those perfect vintage treasures that will make your home feel like an autumn wonderland.
