We’ve rounded up all the home trends you can expect this autumn. If you make your home your haven and put time and effort into keeping everything organised, this article is for you.
1. Create a biophilic design The goal is to bring nature indoors. That means greenery and plants. However, in the case of autumn, it also means adopting elements alluding to the season, such as logs and leaves. Also adopting the warm colours of autumn in decoration, creating a visual connection with nature, is clearly on trend. |
2. Favour dynamic lines After minimalism and straight lines, it seems that curved lines are the next trend. Get ready to see curved sofas and more rounded edges in the corners of tables in the near future. |
3. Introduce textures It’s all about betting more on texture: in ceramics, textiles, and even in paintings (among other decorative elements). Either by overlapping fabrics or by using different materials, textures allow you to create points of greater impact in the rooms, giving them more life and highlight. These are elements full of depth that promise to mark the season. |
4. Put “Feng Shui” into practice Living with the essentials is an autumn trend which, we believe, will be with us for much longer. Minimalism continues to be a trend and has been the response of many to the excess and unbridled consumerism of today’s society. Alongside this, there is a greater environmental and social concern, which ends up reinforcing this trend. So, in order to make your task easier, we have put together some tips below. |
Feng Shui: tips to harmonise your home
In the kitchen, organisation is essential to convey the necessary calm. The kitchen should have the presence of plants – aromatic herbs, lavender… Everything that promotes healthy eating. According to experts, “the colour green is very positive in this area, as it encourages eating green and healthy food”. | The family photos should be in the living room. This is also the best area of the house to have plants, more specifically in the east area (considered the family area). The candles, in turn, should be located in the southern part of the room, which is the area that represents the fire element. |
Having a round table is more conducive to the dining room than a rectangular or square table – for odd families it makes it easier to distribute the seats at the table. Another simple but relevant tip is to place a fruit bowl on the dining room table, as it “fosters healthy eating and prosperity”. | The comfort of the bedroom should be privileged in order to stimulate our permanence in this space. You should remove all electronic devices from the bedroom (television, radio and mobile phone). If it is not possible to remove these objects, switch them off at night to promote better rest. |
The role of Feng Shui is to balance the environments, so that this vital energy can move around, providing cosiness, strength, among others, according to its function in your home environment.
