Have you ever stepped into a home and immediately felt that warm, welcoming atmosphere? It’s such a delightful experience, isn’t it?
While IKEA offers lots of choices for cozy home decor, it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming, making it easy to choose pieces that don’t quite fit together. Your space may end up disjointed and cluttered, which is the opposite of the relaxing atmosphere you’re aiming for.
And as if navigating the IKEA maze isn’t tricky enough, sifting through thousands of products to find random items that play well together can be a challenge. That’s why I’ve scoured the IKEA website and handpicked 10 pieces that embody the fall vibe. With plenty of natural materials, soft textiles, and an autumn color palette, these items will help you create a serene atmosphere that feels both calming and inviting.
10 IKEA Cozy Home Decor Ideas For Fall
1. SINNERLIG Pendant Lamp
The SINNERLIG pendant lamp, designed through a collaboration in 2015 between IKEA and renowned designer Ilse Crawford, quickly became a cult favorite among influencers and home enthusiasts. You cannot go wrong with this. Crafted from sustainable bamboo, this eye-catching pendant lamp creates an inviting glow and casts lovely shadows. Its unique shape and texture make it a striking statement piece, be it over a dining table or in a cozy reading nook.
However, it’s not the easiest lamp to install but once you get past that, this lamp effortlessly elevates the ambiance, infusing spaces with warmth and style.
2. Warm Textures with the ULLERSLEV Sheepskin Rug
Nothing spells cozy like soft, fluffy fur. The ULLERSLEV sheepskin rug is an affordable way to add warmth and texture to a space. Drape it over a chair, lay it by your bed, or use it as a plush accent in your living room instantly making your space feel more comfortable and inviting.
3. Snuggly Spaces with the STRANDMON Wingchair
The iconic STRANDMON armchair is all about cozy. Like a moth to a flame, I find myself drawn to its curvy design and plush seats, I can hardly resist curling up with a good book. What’s more, the STRANDMON in luxurious dark green! The velvet feels wonderfully soft, and the warm, rich tone with light, reflective sheen is on point. Add a soft throw blanket and a couple of plush pillows, and I’m never leaving this warm spot.
4. Ambient Glow with ENSTAKA Scented Candles
I love using scented candles to create a cozy atmosphere in my home. They provide a warm, flickering glow while filling the air with delightful fragrances. The ENSTAKA scented candles, in particular, have an earthy, smoky scent that reminds me of a warm fireplace or a campfire. Just a heads up, the fragrance is a bit subtle when the candle is burning, so I often use a few to really fill the room—unless I’m in the mood for a lighter scent. I like to place them on coffee tables, bookshelves, dining tables, or window sills to spread that relaxing aroma throughout my space.
5. Layered Comfort with SANELA Curtains
Layered curtains can add a sense of depth and warmth to your windows. When choosing fabrics for your window treatments, consider going for heavier materials that provide both insulation and warmth. Luxurious options like velvet, wool, or tweed are great choices for curtains. They not only add lovely texture to your space but help block out drafts and keep the heat in.
The SANELA room darkening curtains, with lots of 5-star reviews, is my pick for the job. I love pairing them with sheer panels for the flexibility to let in more natural light during the day while still maintaining privacy. I’m also smitten by the SANELA in golden brown, a beautiful, muted shade that exudes autumn feels.
6. Warm Walls with BLANDSKOG Hanging Tapestry
We all know that wall art can transform a room, but did you realize that adding different textures can take it to the next level? Layering in some texture such as tapestry or macrame to your gallery wall can soften the angular shapes of picture frames. Plus, using fabric can help absorb sound, making your space feel even more comfortable and restful.
7. Relaxing Ambiance with the UPPLAND Sofa and HÖSTAGILLE Cushion
The UPPLAND sofa spells cozy seating. Its soft cushions and classic design make it ideal for relaxing and unwinding with a hot cuppa. Add a couple of knitted throw blankets and some textured pillows to create a living room that invites you to kick back and stay awhile.
While you’re shopping at IKEA, check out their limited edition HÖSTAGILLE range for fall. I adore the autumn-red corduroy pillow which will look fabulous on any sofa, layered with other solid-colored or patterned cushions in warm autumn tones. It also looks fantastic alongside the floral HÖSTAGILLE cushion cover and the orange HÖSTAGILLE throw. Mix and match different sizes and textures for a layered, comfy style.
8. Warmth Underfoot with ISGRÄS Rug
A great rug can change the vibe of a room, and the ISGRÄS rug is just what you need to add some warmth underfoot. It’s made of wool and a hand-knotted work of art. You can use it in your living room, bedroom, or even the dining area to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere that feels grounded and comfortable. Plus, the details on this rug are amazing!
9. Comfortable Dining with DANDERYD Table
No space for a full dining table? Pick the DANDERYD, a drop-leaf table that will fit into a tight corner. But unlike ugly fold-down tables, the DANDERYD has a traditional design with charming turned legs and an oak veneer top. Best thing? You can easily expand it to seat four, making it perfect for intimate dinners for two to larger gatherings with friends. (Thanksgiving, I got you!) To make meals feel extra special this season, add a soft table runner and pair it with fall-themed place settings.
10. Tuck Away with the ÅTERLÖGA Pouffe
Let this cute ÅTERLÖGA pouffe greet you every time you come home. It’s not only a place to sit and put on your shoes, it also works as storage for bags, gloves, and more. This simple addition helps keep your space tidy and inviting right from the moment you walk in.
