Autumn season trends focus on seasonal decor, food, and harvest activities

As autumn approaches, various sectors are preparing for the seasonal shift through new products, culinary trends, and local activities.

In retail and home decor, Le Creuset has launched its Forêt collection featuring deep green tones and pumpkin-shaped cookware. George Home is promoting its AW26 collection with cozy items like argyle throws and gingham duvet sets, while other trends highlight seasonal throw pillows in earthy and mauve tones.

Culinary trends show a widespread embrace of pumpkin spice, appearing in everything from coffee creamers and cereals to dog biscuits and even bacon. Seasonal recipes are also emerging, focusing on comforting ingredients like butternut squash, cavolo nero, and poached fruit.

In the United States, particularly in Iowa and Indiana, the harvest season offers numerous family activities. Local destinations such as Center Grove Orchard and various apple orchards provide corn mazes, pumpkin patches, and U-pick fruit experiences. Regional farm cafes are also highlighting seasonal menus to celebrate the harvest.
