Add stylish autumnal touches to your home

  

Who doesn’t love the summer sunshine? It’s all about brightness, minimalism and warmth. Well, Autumn is about warmth too – but the colours and textures are different.

    

                                                                                      

 

Autumn is also the season of comfort and cosy clutter (if you’re so inclined). By that, we mean woollen throws and lots more cushions. @idealhome: “Changing the textures in your home makes a surprisingly big difference to the overall tone, so consider adding in some more tactile pieces for the next few months.”You’ll also want lots of candles and bowls of potpourri dotted around coffee tables and desks. Here’s how to get that cosy autumnal home feel right here:

 

Transform your textiles

 

It’s time to swap your lighter-coloured cushions for terracotta, warm orange, red, purple and rich pink shades. This Oxford velvet cushion in gold or merlot is exactly what we mean – a warming colour in a cosy material. We’re also talking about you  – fringed macramé soft cotton cushion with playful tassels.

 

                                                                                                     

 

 

Throw in a wool textured or furry cushion, too – something you can cuddle up with. Being a neutral shade, this wool throw in taupe will coordinate with any scheme in a room. But it’s also available in warming blush, duck egg blue and grey.

                                                                                      

 

Add autumnal accessories

 

Remove the seaside, coastal theme and any references to the beach in your home. Instead, add in warmer autumnal references such as this fab pink foliage wreath. Made from lovely soft cloth shapes, hang in the hallway, inside the front door, or above your bed. For a more rustic look, it’s also available in green and pink.

 

 

                                                                                                              

    

 

And, for a coordinated look, you can add five fluffy stems to match. Or, add a colourful clutch of stems since they’re available in a selection of colours, from dark blush and blush to brown and ivory.

                                                                                                                                            

 

Wow with your walls

 

Now is also the season for cosy wallpaper, which makes you want to hunker down on your sofa with a throw over you, a warm drink and a good book. And this mixed ladybird designer wallpaper is just the ticket. From the Wildlife Botanical range, this digital print is already one of our very best sellers.

                                                                                         

 

But you don’t have to change your entire wall to add some warmth and dynamism. This contemporary wall art neon rose on a dark blue background does the trick. Made from glass, it looks great against a white or dark wall. 

                                                           

 

Sooth with scent and tantalise with taste

 

Fragrant candles, scented diffusers, and yes, those bowls of vanilla, frankincense, myrrh, orange and cedarwood potpourri we mentioned at the beginning of this article all add to the overall sense of cosiness in your home this autumn. So too, of course, do the taste of pumpkin lattes, butternut squash soup and hot chocolate. This Halloween mug and Halloween witch bowl are sure to add an autumnal touch too.
