Today’s blog is a quick and easy decor update that can make your home feel really autumnal in a matter of minutes. And you don’t need to spend loads of money on new soft furnishings, or hours crafting a garland, or days painting your walls to add a touch of autumn colour to your home. My idea for a speedy interiors update is adding art to your walls to completely change the feeling of your space in no time.
In particular, I’m talking about a more budget version of art – using posters. Sure you blu-tacked up posters to your bedroom walls in your teenage years but have you ever used them since? After browsing online and finding plenty of sensational artworks in bold autumn hues, I’ve become a fan of the humble poster. And they’re really great value for money too. How else can you update your home decor in such a striking way with a very little budget?
Of course, you can frame up posters and elevate their status to true artwork, but you could also simply stick them up in your office with washitape and get the same effect. I really love the moon-phase design below, this would be the perfect addition to my bedroom to bring a touch of warmth into the room for autumn. And when the season is over, you can roll the posters up, pop them back in their delivery tube and switch over to a new fresh design for spring. Poster tubes take up hardly any space and your favourite design will be ready for you to re-hang again the following autumn. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
For autumn, I’ve been really drawn towards gold, copper and brass touches and have picked out the designs for this blog post as my suggestions for autumn 2016. I tend to lean towards a monochrome palette at all times of year, with bursts of colour to reflect the season. I love gold for autumn and I think it works well into winter too as we fill our homes with glittering gold decorations. And, of course, woodland scenes like this artwork below evoke a lovely autumnal feeling without feeling twee. 
The designs I’ve shared in this blog post are from Posterlounge, which is a marketplace where artists and designers can share their art and you can choose pieces to be printed in the way that you want them to be – as a poster, on canvas, glass or even on wood. This gives you control over the finish and your budget, so you can get a design that will look impressive in your home, but won’t break the bank. I got my huge Paris map poster from this company so I know that the quality is great and just how big the posters can be printed. I’m currently searching for a frame for my map so that I can hang it in the living room.
What do you think about using posters as art? Have you been updating your decor for autumn or winter already? And what type of artwork sums up the feeling of autumn for you? Let me know by leaving me a comment below or tweeting me a pic of your art to @Cassiefairy.
