Getting your home ready for Autumn
For many of us, autumn is a wonderful season, especially as the leaves start to change colour and the crisp fresh air brings a welcome relief from warmer, muggier days.
That’s why we think this change in season is the ideal time to change things up in your home. Whether it just needs a little extra love or needs a complete overhaul, doing this as the weather changes allows you to introduce those cosy touches that really make your house feel like a home at this time of year.
So here are our top tips for getting your home Autumn-ready:
Find a New Colour
First, before you start buying vibrant new accessories and gorgeous feature wallpaper, do a little research into what colours are on-trend this season.
According to House Beautiful, there are some key trends to watch out for, including:
Oversized florals
Modern neutrals
Gold
Jet black
Pinks
Bright shapes
Vintage Scandi
Blues
Artisan touches
Which take your fancy?
While black features and gold carpets might not be at the top of your list, consider how you can utilise some of these trends in your own home.
For example, if you’ve already got a neutral space to work with, introducing oversized florals in the wallpaper may be ideal. Or, if it’s a contemporary area you’re working with, bright shapes could really bring the space to life, while traditional homes will welcome Artisan touches with open arms.
Bring Colour to Your Home with Gorgeous Upholstery
Your upholstery is one of the easiest ways to overhaul a room.
For instance, if you’ve got a neutral sofa, cushions and throws in the aforementioned trends and patterns will really inject a new layer of design into the space. Go bright and bold or keep things low-key and understated.
Adding cushions and throws really adds to the warming, inviting touch of your home – and they’re perfect for snuggling up in on a cold autumnal night.
Equally, if your sofa has seen better days, now may be the time to introduce something new and exciting. For example, Cox & Cox offer custom-made upholstery options so you can really add a personal, inspiring feel to the space, whether you want to keep things neutral (adding colour with your cushions) or you think it’s time to go all-out with that trendy gold finish.
Finish with Key Accessories
Finally, to unite the look and exaggerate certain tones and colours, finish your space with key accessories.
These include picture frames, candles, ornaments and other cute details that really bring everything together. You could even create a seasonal display using autumn leaves in the centre of your table, or use dried foliage to create wreaths and centrepieces that add some true wow factor to your home.
Once all of these gorgeous pieces are teamed together, your home will be transformed into a cosy, inviting place in an instant.
