Listen, do you also switch on the "warm blanket, hot tea and a good book" mode in autumn? Well, of course it is! When it gets gray and gloomy outside, our apartments must become a safe, warm haven. And nothing creates atmosphere as much as appropriate materials. Velor, velvet and linen - this trio can work real miracles. They have something about them that makes you feel warmer just by looking at them. The truth is that in autumn we want to surround ourselves with things that are pleasant to the touch and colors that designers observe straight from nature: from falling leaves, through dried grass, to the amazing colors of the autumn sky in the morning and at dusk.
Colors that encourage you to sleep (and rest!)
Have you ever wondered how to easily change your interior for these colder months? Okay, let's get down to business. It's best to start with colors. The game includes deep, warm browns, subdued olive green and an absolute hit - mustard yellow. Imagine heavy, fleshy curtains in these colors or, even better, upholstered furniture.
For example, a velvet pouf in a honey shade will be perfect for an autumn living room. It has an incredibly pleasant, warm color, and its shape resembles a large, elegantly wrapped gift. Listen, at the end of the year, when there is a Christmas tree in the house, this pouffe will look simply fabulous! And if you are looking for something for the dining room, green, velvet chairs from Dutchbone with a perfectly profiled backrest will be a hit. Your back will definitely thank you for it during long family dinners.
How about a mustard velvet sofa? Such a piece of furniture with deep armrests not only protects against the cold outside, but also instantly improves the mood with its energetic color. And it really works!
Armchairs and corner sofas you don't want to get off
Honestly, a good armchair is the absolute heart of every living room. It has to be not only pretty, but above all, as comfortable as possible. Velor and velvet armchairs in autumn colors are the perfect recipe for evening relaxation. They are so soft that you can literally sink into them. Besides, kids and teenagers know perfectly well what's good - they love sitting on seats sideways, with their legs thrown over the armrest. In this case, soft upholstery on all sides is simply salvation.
And what does it look like for you when it comes to color matching? You definitely don't have to buy everything in the same shade! The armchairs may differ from the sofa. Olive or honey seats will go perfectly with a mustard sofa. However, if you have a little less space and need more space to sit, a green, velvet corner sofa, for example from BePure, will be a great solution.
Such a corner sofa is a brilliant idea, especially when guests arrive. Velvet upholstery holds the sheet perfectly - it doesn't move or roll. Moreover, this material is so nice and warm that you don't even need to put an extra blanket underneath. It's wonderful to sleep on!
Linen not only for summer - the autumn face of naturalness
Do you think linen is only suitable for hot days? Nothing could be further from the truth! Linen furniture and accessories fantastically break up the heavy, plush textures. Let's take a linen sofa from Woood - it has a simple, Scandinavian style, a quilted seat and is extremely practical. The strong linen weave makes the fabric resistant to cat claws and easy to keep clean. And since it can be unfolded completely flat, it can be used as an everyday bed even in a small studio apartment.
And let's not forget about lighting! In autumn, the days are short, so we turn on the lamps much more often. To make your home really cozy, it is worth choosing linen lampshades. The hanging lamp made of linen and bamboo beautifully disperses the light, enveloping the entire room with a warm, yellowish glow. It fits literally everywhere: the bedroom, living room or dining room.
For an even better effect, you can place a floor lamp in the corner, for example from ItsAboutRomi. A wooden frame and a linen lampshade that lets the light up and down will create an incredibly intimate atmosphere. Such a corner with a lamp right next to the linen Dutchbone armchair is the perfect place to immerse yourself in your favorite reading.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions
Are velvet and velvet difficult to clean, especially with pets?
You don't have to be afraid of this at all! Today's velor fabrics are often covered with special coatings that facilitate cleaning, and stains come off with just water. Interestingly, cats usually do not like scratching smooth, slippery velvet surfaces - they prefer braids with a distinct weave.

The secret is in the contrasts! Heavy, slightly shiny velvet looks great next to matte, raw linen. It is best to choose one dominant material for larger furniture (e.g. a velvet sofa) and introduce the other one in accessories such as pillows, curtains or lamp shades.
