Orchids in warm autumn colours: how to make your home autumn-ready
You probably know orchids mainly in white, pink or bright fuchsia. But in autumn they show a completely different side. Deep burgundy, amber, orange and soft brown tones: exactly the colours that make your home feel warm and welcoming in the colder months. With their elegant look, orchids in autumn colours are a perfect match for natural materials and the earthy shades of the season.
Orchids in warm autumn colours: how to get your interior ready for the season
Warm tones that suit the season
Yellow, orange and amber shades fit seamlessly with today’s interior trends, in which natural colours and honest materials set the tone. Combine your orchid with wood, linen or ceramics and you instantly create an elegant, calm atmosphere that feels like home straight away.
Play with height and shape
Want more depth in your arrangement? Then group different orchid species together in pots of varying shapes and heights. On the dining table, on a sideboard or as a plant corner on the floor: varying things creates a three-dimensional look that feels far livelier than a single plant on its own.
Colour as a counterweight to short days
As the days grow shorter, colour in the home becomes more important. The warm flower tones and striking leaf structures of orchids create an atmospheric contrast with the greyer light outside. They bring life into the room without disturbing the calm – and give your interior an exotic touch at the same time.
Which species should you choose?
With its deep red and burgundy tones, the Cambria-like orchid is a real autumn favourite. The Phalaenopsis is also available in warm yellow and orange shades, and the Paphiopedilum – better known as the slipper orchid – adds that little bit extra with its remarkable flower shape.
