The Living Room

The living room is the number one room for creating that warm and welcoming autumnal feeling. Layer up and add chunky, textured knits in seasonal colours. Think scatter cushions and thick blankets in rich tones, as well as soft fabrics for subtle decorative features that don't take up much room. The added benefit? They'll act as the perfect extra layer for those cosy nights curled up on the sofa. And for anyone lucky enough to have an open fireplace, get the logs burning for that extra bit of hygge.

The Dining Room

Adding autumn decor to your dining room can be as simple as redesigning your table settings, from dishware and cutlery to glasses and napkins. Set the mood by starting with a neutral dishware set that still has personality and design. From there, build on your colour scheme with some deeper-toned glassware and napkins and finish with a touch of glam in the form of gold utensils.

The Hallway

The hallway is the first place you, your family and your visitors will be introduced to the new autumn season. Autumn is all about comfort, simplicity and creating an inviting atmosphere, so keep your seasonal decor simple and nature-inspired with clay vases, rattan baskets and lamps on top of a wooden console table. Wall art featuring harvests, woodland and nature add to the theme.

The Bedroom

That image of waking up in a cosy bedroom on a crisp autumn morning is second to none. Adopting an autumnal colour scheme is a simple and effective way to achieve this, with reds, oranges, greens and beiges working well on walls and in the furniture. To make the room feel even cosier, layer thicker blankets over your lighter, summer sheets and bedspread to keep you warm throughout the night. You can change your duvet or add a woolen or fleece blanket if you desire something heavier near the tail end of fall going into winter.

The Kitchen

One of the undisputed highlights of the autumn season is the food. Filling your kitchen with the delicious aroma of seasonal cooking is a great way to add warmth. Autumn-hued floor tiles paired with natural stone or warm wooden worktops and seasonal kitchen linens create the perfect setting to bake delicious, flaky croissants or treacle tart.

And for anyone lacking the time or culinary skills, light some autumn-scented candles and fill your space with the aromas of the season.
