Add a Touch of Pumpkin Spice to Your Home

The 1st of October marks Pumpkin Spice Day. Pumpkin spice ushers in the savoury-sweet season of autumn like no other spice combination does. It conjures up images of fall foliage, burnt umber, and autumnal home décor. With this in mind, we’ve put together some ideas of how you can turn your home into a pumpkin spice themed retreat.

So, without further ado, grab a pumpkin spiced latte, hunker down and indulge yourself in our pumpkin-inspired styling.

Start with a bit of Burnt Orange

Let’s start with the basics; it’s time to add some pumpkin spice-inspired oranges into your home. Here at G Plan, we have a gorgeous variety of orange fabrics for you to choose from – our favourites being Combarro Chestnut, Masca Ochre and Arrow Lava. Your can order a selection of pumpkin-esque G Plan swatches by clicking here. Add flashes of orange into your living spaces by using plump orange scatter cushions and chunky knit blankets. A little bit of burnt orange can go a long way; a beautifully autumnal colour, that’ll instantly transform your home into a cosy retreat.

Make it Cosy with Candles

You can never go wrong with candles, especially during the cosier half of the year. We absolutely adore the scent of pumpkin spices candles; a rich, velvety aroma that’ll fill your home with the fragrance of autumn.

If you’re looking for a wholesome activity to complete at home, why not have a go at making your own pumpkin spice candle? Selfmade offer a deliciously scented candle making kit, which is a great way to while away the hours on a chilly autumnal day. If you’d prefer something slightly different to pumpkin spice, but still just as cosily scented, Selfmade also have the option of Chai or Ginger candle making kits.

If you’re more inclined to reed diffusers or scented oils instead, a pumpkin spice Reed Diffuser would suit your home perfectly.

Embrace the drink of the Season

There’s nothing better than cosying up on your Sofa with an indulgent Hot Chocolate on a cold autumn night. So why not make it a Pumpkin Spice affair. This Hot Chocolate from Hotel Chocolat would be a perfect way to embrace this Pumpkin Spice Day!

Spruce Up Your Dining Table

Another great way of introducing pumpkin spice  into your home is through decoration. So why not start with your dining table setting.

The autumnal months bring with them an abundance of comforting meals and a decorated table would be the perfect place for your pumpkin pie!

Begin by placing an orangey material runner at the centre of your table, decorating it with seasonal dried flowers and foliage. Pop some gold burnished candle holders into this display, complete with fall scented tealights and pillar candles; complement these gold details with similarly coloured cutlery, to create a comprehensive look. Orange napkins are also the perfect touch, alongside pumpkin shaped place name holders. Et voila! Your pumpkin spice-themed home styling is perfectly complete.
