Autumn Outdoor Styling: Create the Perfect Cosy Space for Crisp Evenings
Share
Ah, autumn. The season where nature puts on a vibrant show, displaying deep oranges, golden yellows, and bold reds. It’s the time of year when the air turns crisp, the leaves crunch underfoot, and the scent of pumpkin spice lattes lingers in the air. But why let the beauty of autumn stay outside? Imagine creating a cosy outdoor space where you can wrap up in a blanket with a hot drink and soak in all the magic this season has to offer.
Welcome to the art of autumn outdoor styling, where the best of this gorgeous season comes to life right on your patio. Whether you’ve got a spacious garden or a small balcony, we’re here to help you transform it into a dreamy autumn retreat.
At Beyond Outdoor Living, we’re obsessed with outdoor spaces that invite you to linger a little longer—no matter the season. Let’s dive into how you can create an irresistible outdoor setting that has all your neighbour's green with (fall-themed) envy!
1. The Art of Layering: Not Just for Sweaters
When we think autumn, we think layers—on us and on our outdoor furniture. Just as you layer up with scarves and chunky sweaters, your outdoor space can benefit from layering, too.
Start with your furniture. Whether it's a wicker set or a sleek modern metal frame, you want your outdoor pieces to be both functional and stylish. Consider adding cushions and throws in rich autumn hues like burnt orange, mustard yellow, and deep burgundy. Not only do these create visual warmth, but they also provide literal warmth for those chilly evenings.
Think about textures as well. Mix woollen throws with plush cushions, and add a textured rug to your outdoor setup. A rug brings everything together, making your space feel like a cosy living room—just under the stars.
Pro Tip: Don’t skimp on outdoor covers for your furniture. Autumn weather can be unpredictable, and you want to keep your cushions dry and your furniture looking fresh. Visit Beyond Outdoor Living for quality outdoor furniture that’s made to stand the test of time (and the test of unpredictable British weather!).
2. The Warm Glow of Outdoor Lighting
Autumn brings shorter days, but that doesn’t mean your outdoor time needs to be cut short. The right lighting can turn a dark corner of your garden into a magical spot to sip mulled wine or enjoy a quiet evening with friends.
When styling your outdoor space, don’t underestimate the power of string lights. These can be draped around trees, across fences, or along a pergola for a twinkling, starlit effect. If you’re feeling a bit more quirky, why not opt for oversized lanterns with candles or even solar-powered lights? They not only add warmth but give your space a whimsical feel.
For a statement piece, consider fire pits. There’s something timeless about gathering around a fire, especially as the evenings grow chillier. A fire pit serves as both a heating source and a visual focal point. Imagine roasting marshmallows or simply basking in the warmth of the flames.
And here’s the cherry on top: we’ve got a selection of stylish fire pits available at Beyond Outdoor Living. These beauties aren’t just functional—they’re a statement piece that will elevate your entire garden aesthetic.
3. Furniture That Lasts All Seasons
It’s easy to get swept up in the allure of cheap outdoor furniture, but when the cold sets in, quality matters. With the right pieces, you can create a space that endures the seasons—and looks fabulous doing it.
When selecting outdoor furniture, durability is key. Look for materials like teak, metal, or rattan, all of which handle the elements like pros. Want something that doesn’t just survive but thrives in the outdoors? Beyond Outdoor Living has an exquisite range of outdoor dining sets and lounge furniture that will keep your space looking polished through all seasons. And yes, they have plenty of autumnal options!
Pro Tip: If your outdoor area is on the smaller side, go for foldable furniture or pieces that can double up in functionality (like a bench with hidden storage). It’s all about maximizing space while keeping things stylish.
4. Embrace Nature’s Colour Palette
Autumn is nature’s most colourful runway show, and your outdoor space should reflect that! Use nature as your inspiration and incorporate bold, warm tones that mirror the turning leaves. Burgundy, copper, rust, and even dark green should dominate your colour palette. These shades bring warmth and depth to your outdoor setup, making it feel inviting and festive.
One fun way to add colour is through seasonal plants. Think pots of chrysanthemums, heather, or ornamental cabbage. These plants thrive in cooler weather and add a beautiful splash of colour to your outdoor space. Pair them with pumpkins and gourds for a truly autumnal look. You don’t have to go full-on Halloween, but a few well-placed pumpkins can add charm without overwhelming your design.
And if you really want to bring nature into your space, consider a garden wall with climbing ivy or a collection of hanging planters. These are perfect for urban spaces or anyone wanting a pop of green among the fall colours.
5. Cosy Comforts: The Little Extras That Make a Big Difference
Styling your autumn outdoor space is all about the little touches that make it feel like home. And what’s cosier than blankets? Pile them up in a wicker basket so they’re within easy reach for guests to snuggle under. Add some seasonal candles in scents like cinnamon, cedar, or clove to enhance the atmosphere.
A small outdoor table is a must-have for setting down your drinks or displaying some rustic fall décor. Want to add a bit more charm? Fill glass jars with fairy lights or pinecones for a DIY autumn centrepiece.
For a final flourish, don’t forget the soundtrack. Yes, we’re going there! Create a playlist of soothing fall-themed tunes to set the mood. Imagine sitting under the stars, a hot drink in hand, with soft acoustic melodies playing in the background. Bliss, right?
6. Shop Smart, Style Smart
Autumn outdoor styling doesn’t have to break the bank, but it’s all about investing in the right pieces. When you buy from trusted, quality brands, you’ll find that your furniture and accessories last longer and look better. Beyond Outdoor Living offers a curated selection of outdoor furniture, fire pits, and more to help you build the autumn garden of your dreams.
