As the leaves turn golden and the air gets crisp, it’s time to bring a little seasonal magic indoors. Autumn is the perfect excuse to refresh your home with warm textures, earthy tones, and handcrafted charm—and what better way to do it than with beautiful, ethically made pieces from Fair Trade artisans and small UK makers?
Here are some of our favourite ways to decorate your space sustainably this season.
🎃 Pumpkins: Soft, Sustainable & Seriously Cute
Nothing says autumn quite like a pumpkin—but we’re skipping the plastic and going for Fair Trade felt pumpkins instead. Handmade using natural wool felt, these little beauties come in a range of rich autumnal colours: think burnt orange, mustard yellow, and deep forest green.
- Scatter them across your mantelpiece or windowsill
- Create a centrepiece with a mix of sizes and textures
- Add a few to a seasonal wreath or garland for extra charm
Each one is crafted with care by Fair Trade artisans, making them a feel-good addition to your autumn décor.
🌿 Wooden Wreaths from East End Press: Artistry Meets Sustainability
We’re obsessed with the Winter Blooms wreaths from East End Press. Made from sturdy, screen-printed cotton board, these wreaths are hand-printed on both sides by talented artisans in Jaipur. They’re lightweight, long-lasting, and bursting with botanical beauty.
- Hang one on your front door for a warm welcome
- Style it above your fireplace or on a feature wall
- Pair with dried flowers or felt accents for a layered look
These wreaths are a brilliant alternative to traditional foliage—and they’re made with sustainability in mind.
✨ Garland Goals: Drape, Dangle & Delight
Garlands are a simple way to add instant seasonal cheer. Whether you go for felt leaves, wooden shapes, or paper cut-outs, they’re perfect for:
- Draping across your fireplace
- Hanging along stair rails or bookshelves
- Framing windows or mirrors with a festive touch
Look for garlands made by small UK makers or Fair Trade collectives—many use recycled materials and natural dyes, so you can decorate with heart.

👻 Spooky Season: Ethical Halloween Style
Halloween doesn’t have to mean plastic bats and throwaway décor. There are so many creative, sustainable ways to celebrate spooky season:
- Felt ghosts and ghouls: Handmade and adorable, these are perfect for little ones and grown-up Halloween fans alike
- Paper hanging bats or skeletons: Ethically handmade and built to last year after year
- Pumpkin garlands: A playful twist that works from October through to harvest season
Pair these with natural candles, vintage glassware, and a few cobweb-style textiles for a hauntingly beautiful setup.
Every piece you choose from a Fair Trade artisan or independent UK maker supports ethical production, creative livelihoods, and a more sustainable future. Whether you’re styling your home for autumn or prepping for Halloween, these decorations bring warmth, joy, and purpose to your space.
