Autumn offers a wealth of inspiration, with its burst of beautiful colours evoking a sense of warmth and comfort. For homeowners, it is undoubtedly a time of the year when we yearn to make décor changes which mirror the seasons: from the clean sweep of spring to the wrap-up-warm moods of autumn.

AUTUMNAL COLOURS 
As the temperature cools and the indoors beckons, a charming palette of deep, rich hues will create the perfect ambience for relaxation. Martini Olive, Orange Tiger and Rose Violet: just three of the hues in Pantone’s colour trend report for Autumn/Winter 2022 all make a bold statement by enveloping a room with instant warmth and comfort. If redecorating your home in autumn colours is too much, add colour to your space by changing your soft furnishings, accessories or artwork.

A TOUCH OF THE 70SIf the decades could be distilled into seasons, the 70s would be autumn. An eclectic mix of textures, patterns and colours; animal prints, furry shag pile rugs, velvet furnishings, geometric shapes, burnt orange, rich browns – all scream autumn. Get the look with wooden accents, rattan furniture, cork accessories, quirky ceramics, macramé wall hangings and large leafy house plants. 

ADD TEXTURE 
Evoke a cosy atmosphere ideal for concentrating on cosy autumn activities, whether settling down with a copy of our magazine or enjoying your favourite Scandi drama. Tweeds and wools like rugged Highland fabrics are a quintessential part of the autumn home and bring an element of cosiness and texture alongside a palette of rich hues. Don’t be afraid to delve into dark shades and offset the moody tones with a pop of colour such as mustard yellow.

FINISHING TOUCHESAccessories make the perfect finishing touch to an interior. Ring the changes by displaying a collection of abstract prints in autumn colours, dried flowers and grasses in pretty vases, and candlesticks. Scented candles or tea-lights in votives will help create snug vibes on darker evenings and add that all-important layer of fragrance to your home.
