The days are getting shorter, the light is growing softer, and we are spending more time at home. It is the perfect moment to rethink your autumn decor. No need to change everything: a few well-chosen art prints are enough to transform the atmosphere of a room. Here are six ideas for a warm and cozy interior, from color palettes to hanging tips.
1. Adopt the autumn palette: camel, khaki, and earth tones
The first rule of successful autumn decor is color. Shades of camel, khaki, ochre, brown, and terracotta evoke leaves, wood, and wool. They visually warm up a room, even when the sky is grey.
On the wall, this palette comes to life with works like Double buste camel and its variation Double buste kaki: two busts inspired by antique sculpture, drawn in white pencil on a colored background. A meeting between classicism and minimalism that pairs perfectly with natural materials. Find all our works in warm tones in the Brown and Beige collections.
2. Focus on texture and the artist’s touch
Autumn calls for texture: wool throws, velvet, wrinkled linen. The same principle applies to walls. Opt for works where you can sense the movement, the texture of chalk or pencil. The Hands Patchwork N°2 is a perfect example: two intertwined hands composed of geometric facets, in a palette of ochres, olive greens, deep browns, and golden yellow. The art chalk gives it a velvety, almost mineral finish, ideal for a cozy ambiance.
3. Create a cozy reading nook
An armchair, a side lamp, a throw… and a piece of art above. The reading nook is the star of the season. To dress it up, choose a 50 × 70 cm print hung about 20 cm above the backrest: it structures the space without overwhelming it. A fine-line illustration like Woman walking N°1 or a gentle portrait like Portrait d'une fille kaki invites calm and contemplation.
4. Bring nature indoors
When walks in the forest become rarer, we bring nature home. Botanical photographs like Serre parisienne N°1, taken in a greenhouse in Paris, or Le bouquet, a still life in natural light, bring a breath of green into a living room or entryway. Paired with a few dried branches in a vase, they create a gentle autumn decor.
5. Compose a gallery wall with warm tones
A gallery wall is the most creative way to refresh a room. For a harmonious autumn look:
- Choose a common thread: a dominant color (camel, for example) or a technique (pencil, art chalk).
- Mix formats: a centerpiece in 50 × 70 cm surrounded by 30 × 40 cm and 21 × 29.7 cm prints.
- Harmonize frames: light wood enhances the natural spirit of the season.
- Maintain a regular spacing of 5 to 8 cm between frames.

6. Consider the child's room
Children also deserve their autumn cocoon. The pencil illustrations from Aude de Riberolles' animal collection are available in a brown version, with warm and soothing tones: the giraffe, the elephant, the zebra, or the Jardin d'Enfants scene. Hung in a series at a child's height, they create a gentle universe, perfect for bedtime stories.
Autumn, the best season to change your walls
Changing one or two prints is often enough to give the impression of a new interior, much more than a new piece of furniture. And since all our works are printed on demand on premium FSC-certified matte paper, you can decorate without overproduction.
