The delightful season of autumn—the air turns crisper, leaves put on their fiery coats, and cosy vibes are all around us as the evenings draw in.
… And what better place to infuse that autumn magic than a child’s bedroom? – Read on for some delightful ideas to transform your little one’s space into an autumn wonderland:
1. Layer up
Thick Duvets and Plush Pillows: Add a seasonal spin to your child’s bedroom with a cosy blankets, thicker duvets and plush pillows. Not only do they look nice, but they’ll also keep your little one snug as the temperatures begin to drop. Imagine snuggling up with a favorite book under a soft blanket – autumn bliss!
Mix and match textures—think flannel sheets, cable-knit blankets, and fleece lined throws for a warm sleep sanctuary.
2. Add some autumnal colour
Bring in warm earthy hues like rust, mustard, olive green, and deep burgundy. These colours evoke the changing leaves and help to create a cosy atmosphere.
Consider adding pops of burnt orange or golden yellow through decorative pillows, curtains, or wall art for added personality.
3. Bring the outdoors in
Why not string up some faux leaf garlands across the headboard or along the walls. They instantly bring the outdoors in and add a touch of woodland magic. If you're feeling particularly crafty, you (or the kids) could even have a go at creating your own paper garlands.
Arrange pinecones and acorns in jars or scatter them on shelves. - An instant and easy autumn update!
4. Add some mood lighting
Drape fairy lights around the bed frame or along the window. They create a whimsical, starry-night effect.
Swap out plain lampshades for ones with leaf patterns or warm tones.
5. Add seasonal prints
Hang posters featuring pumpkins, owls, or woodland creatures. It’s like creating a mini art gallery for your little art enthusiast.
If you have a creative child, perhaps encourage them to create their own autumnal masterpieces. Frame their leaf rubbings —it’s a keepsake and decor in one!
6. Swap out the window dressings
Switch lightweight summer curtains for floor length, thicker ones. They’ll keep the chill out and add a touch of elegance too. Look for curtains with leaf motifs or warm plaid patterns.
Remember, decorating a child’s room is all about creating a magical space where imagination can run wild. So, whether it’s a leaf-shaped rug or a whimsical mobile, let the autumn season guide you.
Happy decorating! x
