We are leaving behind our Summer, and it’s almost Autumn/Fall..again! Most people have season preferences. I luckily don’t. I like them all because each season brings new temperatures, views, experiences, food, moods, decor, fashion, etc. But some people simply want to stay in the summer all year round, and this transition can be hard. So I came up with a list of 15 ideas on how to make an autumn morning cozy to help you.
I chose morning ideas because ..well… they can set the tone for your day!
For me what is hard is losing extra daylight! But what I love instead is the extra crisp air and the gorgeous colors on the trees. There is also a more relaxed atmosphere in the air! It makes you feel calmer, for sure. Maybe it’s the earthy colors in the sky and on the trees, or maybe it’s the noise of the leaves on the trees and the crunchy noise you make while walking. So if I can put this in a brief sentence, it’s that autumn is a sensory experience.
Take a look at the ideas!
- Wake up to soft sheets
- Start your day wearing warm, cozy socks
- Dress with something that makes you feel relaxed and comfortable
- Get your favorite mellow music going
- Light a candle with a scent that you love
- Choose your favorite mug for breakfast
- Have breakfast with a throw on your lap
8. Drink tea/coffee facing nature
9. Have a magazine/book to glance at while enjoying breakfast
10. Journal, make a quick sketch, or daydream
11. Look to the outdoors through a window
12. Go for a walk by yourself or with your dog
13. On your walk search for leaves or acorns
14. Press your collected leaves in books, and store your acorns in a glass
15. Take a nice warm bath/shower

Here is an example of me collecting acorns during my walks!
I actually have two jars. I added the raffia on the top and then used them as centerpieces on my table.
Just for fun, I secretly named the street where I found most of the acorns “Acorn Alley.”
Picking up acorns during my morning walks has opened doors for my creativity and inspiration! Here are examples of silver acorn jewelry I have designed.
The Virginia Department of Forestry collects donated acorns for reforestation projects. So give a positive meaning to your collected acorns from your walks and donate them! If you live in a different state, check your own state’s Department of Forestry web page.
I hope you enjoy my ideas, and I wish you a great start of the Autumn/Fall season!
