As far as we are concerned, autumn is the season to give your interior some extra attention. It gets dark earlier, the temperatures drop, and being at home suddenly feels even better.
A blanket on the sofa, candles lit, a good book, and a pot of tea. It is precisely those small moments that make a house cozy and personal.
But which interior trends for autumn 2026 are we seeing a lot of this year? We asked two interior influencers, each with a totally different style: Ellen from h.jem.me, a Nordic-inspired home in Belgium, and Merida from moa_artpandi, who shares her Japandi interior in Amsterdam.
Yet their interiors have something in common: an eye for atmosphere, beautiful materials, and the small moments that truly make a house a home.
Ellen from h.jem.me: warm colors for autumn
The trend: warm earth tones and rich autumn colors
Warm earth tones and deep burgundy and wine red have long been the go-to autumn colors. In 2026, rich shades of green are joining them. Think of deep, natural colors that blend beautifully with the nature outside.
Together, they form a warm color palette with which you can bring autumn into your home, without your interior becoming immediately and entirely seasonal.
You don't need to change much for that. A cushion, throw, vase, or piece of ceramics in a deep color can already make a big difference.
Ellen's autumn feeling
For Ellen, autumn is primarily about warmth, coziness, and enjoying the small moments:
“Autumn: warm blankets, cocooning with a cup of tea... enjoying little moments of happiness.”
And perhaps that is exactly what these colors do so well. They don't just give an interior more color, but also that warm and inviting feeling that you crave in autumn.
Merida from moa_artpandi: materials with character
The trend: natural materials and sculptural shapes
This autumn is all about materials with character for Merida. Natural stone, dark wood, ceramics, and shiny accents give an interior more warmth, depth, and personality.
It is not about having more and more stuff, but rather about consciously choosing special objects that add something to your interior and that you love to use every day.
Additionally, we are seeing more and more Scandinavian design with soft, sculptural shapes, where beauty and functionality come together. A combination that perfectly fits the calm appearance of a Japandi interior.
Merida's autumn feeling
For Merida, autumn is found primarily in the moments you consciously create for yourself:
“Autumn invites me to give my daily rituals a little more attention. I can truly enjoy a nice pot of tea, sitting down for a moment, and reading a good book. And, of course, the candles go on.”
Ultimately, a beautiful interior is not just about how something looks. It is also about how you feel in it and what moments you experience there.
One teapot, two interior styles
Fun detail: both Ellen and Merida chose the same favorite from our collection: the VIVA Isabella teapot 600 ml in dark green.
And that is not actually surprising at all. The dark green color perfectly matches the rich autumn colors of 2026, while the calm design looks beautiful in both a Nordic and a Japandi interior.
The Isabella combines ceramics with a stainless steel lid and an integrated infuser for loose-leaf tea. At 600 ml, the teapot is ideal for a quiet tea moment.

How to bring autumn into your home
You really don't have to completely overhaul your interior. With a few small adjustments, you can quickly create more warmth and atmosphere:
- add burgundy, wine red, or rich green shades
- combine with wood, ceramics, and soft materials
- choose round and organic shapes
- give special home accessories a place that you also actually use daily
- and make room for your favorite autumn rituals
Because ultimately, a beautiful autumn interior is about atmosphere, warmth, and a home where you love to be.
And perhaps that is the most beautiful interior trend of 2026.
