🍂 How to Create Your Own Autumn Mood Board

-

 



There’s something magical about autumn. The crisp air, the sound of leaves crunching under your boots, the cozy layers of sweaters, and the scent of pumpkin spice drifting through the kitchen — it’s a season that makes us want to slow down and soak in every detail.

One of my favorite ways to capture all that autumn magic is by making an Autumn Mood Board. Not only is it a fun creative project, but it also helps you visualize the cozy, seasonal aesthetic you want to bring into your life — whether it’s decorating your home, planning your wardrobe, or simply setting the mood for fall.

✨ What is a Mood Board?

A mood board is like a collage of inspiration. It’s a collection of images, colors, textures, and even words that come together to tell a story or set a feeling. Designers use them all the time, but anyone can make one. And the best part? You can create them digitally or with scissors, glue, and a stack of autumn magazines.

🍁 Why Make an Autumn Mood Board?

  • Capture the Season’s Energy: Collect the cozy vibes you’re feeling right now.

  • Inspire Your Home Decor: Use it as a guide for decorating your home or porch.

  • Plan Your Wardrobe: Get outfit ideas for layering sweaters, dresses, and boots.

  • Spark Creativity: Perfect for journaling, crafting, or just lifting your autumn spirits.

🧡 How to Make Your Own Autumn Mood Board

1. Choose Your Format

  • Digital: Use tools like Canva, Pinterest, or even a simple photo collage app.

  • Physical: Grab old magazines, printouts, scissors, glue, and a poster board.

2. Gather Inspiration

Look for cozy fall images:

  • Pumpkins, lattes, pies, and baked goods

  • Autumn fashion (plaid skirts, chunky sweaters, boots)

  • Woodland cottages, leaves, and candlelight

  • Warm tones of orange, gold, brown, and rust

3. Pick a Color Palette

Autumn is rich in earthy tones. Think burnt orange, deep burgundy, golden yellow, mossy green, and creamy neutrals. Choosing 4–5 colors will help your mood board feel cohesive.

4. Arrange & Layer

Have fun placing your images! Cluster together textures (like knits and leaves), highlight focal points (a cup of steaming tea, a cozy cottage), and fill in the gaps with smaller details (like acorns or candles).

5. Add Words (Optional)

Consider including a few phrases that capture the season, like:

  • “Cozy Nights”

  • “Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice”

  • “Falling Leaves, Falling in Love”

6. Display It

  • Digital: Save it as wallpaper for your phone or desktop, or share it on social media.

  • Physical: Hang your board in your kitchen, office, or craft space where it inspires you daily.

🍎 My Autumn Mood Board

This year, my own mood board is full of cozy sweaters, pumpkins, warm drinks, cottage porches, and stacks of books just waiting to be read. It instantly makes me want to curl up with a latte and start a new cozy mystery.

🌻 Try It Yourself

Making an Autumn Mood Board is simple, relaxing, and inspiring. Gather your favorite seasonal images and see what story unfolds for you. It’s a beautiful way to honor the cozy season and surround yourself with the things that make your heart happiest.

✨ What would you put on your Autumn Mood Board? A pumpkin spice latte, a stack of plaid blankets, or maybe a fairytale cottage in the woods? Share in the comments — I’d love to see your ideas!
