Styling tip: Autumn ambience in just 3 steps Autumn has been clothing our trees in their coats of many colours, and these natural tones have moved indoors as well. The interplay between different red tones, muted and subtle shades of brown and various yellow nuances can sustain this autumn feeling. Light grey and pastel tones make the look less severe, adding a lightness to the harmonious autumn picture. In the following article, I’ve put together three styling tips for a cosy autumn ambience:  Tip 1: A brief history of cosiness Cushions, cushions, and more cushions. Besides using matching shades, patterns and various fabrics, you can also create a cosy and autumnal ambience by playing around with the number of cushions and creating a decorative, cuddly island. Because a cushion doesn't like to be left all alone… Tip 2: A lasting love of flowers Individual dried flowers and branches or artfully arranged bouquets which can be effectively staged in combination with artwork can bring long-lasting joy. Tip 3: A feeling of harmony Create warmth and comfort on your walls. You can achieve this by creating an interplay between different colours or through a picture gallery where you arrange several pictures and frames on the wall or the floor. You can find more inspiration for autumn in my online shop on Instagram or Pinterest. Love,
Autumn is here!

Artworks in warm leafy colours It’s time to get cosy with tinystories. The combination of soft nuances, natural materials and poetic artworks in warm leafy colours will sweeten our autumn. It's time to draw those super-cuddly pillows and blankets out of their summer sleep, light the first candles, and add some variety to our walls with new art prints.  In the following article, I've compiled my favourite art prints for the golden season: JAPANESE CHARMThis delicate drawing of a woman in a kimono celebrates the beauty and culture of Japan. The restrained lines of the monochrome sketch were done in oil pastel on vintage paper. The art print KIMONO is printed on sustainable, chlorine-free paper and is available in two sizes, A4 and 50 x 70 cm (from €42.45). PURE NATUREThe simultaneous simplicity and strength of the art print MARRON (30 x 40 cm, €54.95) create a convincing effect. The vibrant pink floral pattern contrasts wonderfully with the brown background. FIELD OF FLOWERSThe art print WILD FLOWERS has a calming and relaxing effect — a daily reminder to enjoy the beauty of nature. The original artwork was painted in the Balearic Islands, using self-mixed rock chalk and saltwater pigments. The art print is available in the sizes 30 x 40 cm and 50 x 70 cm (from €54.95). FLOWERING JAPANThe woman's face glances expressively at the viewer, taking them on a dreamy journey. The art print SAKURA is named after the Japanese cherry blossom, representing beauty, departure, and transience. The quality reproduction is available in 30 x 40 cm (from €54.95).

Naturally beautiful in autumn with three home ideas Whatever combines harmoniously in nature will also spread peace and a cosy ambience in an interior setting. The combination of soft colour nuances, sustainable natural materials and poetic artworks can make the autumn even sweeter. Keeping with the current Natural Living trend, we create a feel-good home with matching art prints, collages, and wall hangings from my online shop, www.tinystories.de. In the following article, I have put together three home ideas for an artistic journey into autumn.  HOME IDEA 1 – A WONDERFUL HARMONY  In autumn, you can add exciting blush, nude and white updates to your home gallery. These popular art prints are uniformly framed in dark oak, creating warmth and elegance. Feminine silhouettes in soft earth tones such as the two-colour art print CATCHING THE SUN (€49.95, 30 x 40 cm), or botanical motifs such as the 50 x 70 cm painting GINGKO (from €98.95) with its dark frame, form pleasing eye-catchers, despite the contrast. HOME IDEA 2 – COMFORTING, SOFT ART JOY  Bedding in the most beautiful earth tones and cushions with colourful ethnic patterns ensure pleasant soft nights. With my large-format wall hangings, things remain soft on the walls. Nature meets its poetic echo, transforming your four walls into a relaxation space. The wall hanging L’AMOUR (151 x 201 cm, €299.95) displays a sensual female portrait as its motif and is kept in natural, soft colours that will immerse the room in an intimate atmosphere. HOME IDEA 3 – LONG LIVE THE LOVE OF COLLECTING  Whether you use them individually or in a group – baskets and ceramic containers are not only practical as o but also highly decorative. They could form the perfect storage spaces for tiny treasures and memorabilia collected on your last summer adventure. Similar shapes and colours create a coherent overall impression. Artworks in beige and earth tones from the same colour family round off the ambience to form a harmonious overall picture. The abstract art print DREAM (from €49.95) is compelling with its simple layered vintage papers — perhaps the beginning of a new art collection?
