Fall is a perfect time to revisit cozy interiors. Creating luxe autumnal living room design is a combination of warm lighting and luxurious soft furnishings. For some reason I am drawn to Belgian Pearls when the weather begins to cool, and found images that truly capture elegant fall living rooms.
After long hot summers we are so ready to infuse our rooms with pumpkins and gourds that we forget we need not get kitschy to keep things appropriate for the season. A beautifully placed orange pillow can have a major affect and appeal...skulls with light-up eyes need not apply.
If possible, the autumn living room design should focus on the hearth. A roaring fire is so welcoming and is the perfect focal point for showing off other decorative objects and furniture. Comfortable accent chairs next to a fireplace is the ideal location for reading or conversation with guests.
Besides sumptuous seating, lighting is critical to the autumn room. As the sun goes down ever earlier, table lamps for reading or general illumination is very important.
Lamp light is warm and lamps in general create visual interest. I happen to love an earthy table lamp in wood during this season. You may think it too casual, but I think it’s elegant to have competing textures in a room, and shows real style.

2. The classic urn shape of the Uttermost Aurelius Solid Wood Table Lamp keeps the rough hewn material elegant.
