Autumn Trends

 

As we say goodbye to a vibrant summer filled with splashes of colour and sunshine, autumn's trends are shifting focus. 

Moving past Halloween decor, the new season brings a renewed sense of style.

From layering soft and cosy textures, to warm and cocooning hues, this season's latest trends inspire you to create a home that feels like a sanctuary from the often wet and blustery outdoors. 

Earth's Palette

 

This autumn, reconnect with nature by introducing a soothing palette of muted tones to create a calming ambience that's both tranquil and cosy. 

Muddy greens, sandy yellows and mushroom browns lead the way as designers are drawn to nurturing palettes that combine comfort with understated elegance. 

Easy to use with contemporary or traditional interiors, layer these hues throughout your home to cocoon living spaces, just in time for the chilly season. 

Japanese Minimalism

 

If your home feels a little chaotic, a new season is just the right time to take things back to basics, decluttering not only your home but your mind too. 

Incorporating Japanese minimalism into your busy home can help bring back a sense of order focusing on the essence of slow-living, comfort and wellbeing within your interior. 

Start by creating balance and peace through natural materials like wood and wool, paired with clean lines and soft shapes. A muted colour palette can also help you to appreciate the beauty in simplicity, a main focus of Japan's 'wabi sabi' philosophy. 

As Tokyo based architect and product designer Keiji Ashizawa beautifully observes,

"When colour does appear, it is inspired by nature and often displays a subtle graduation."

This autumn, use practices of Japanese minimalism to blur the lnes between indoors and outdoors, letting nature guide your design choices. 

Cosy Corners

 

If you prefer to embrace the seasonal shift from the comfort of your own home, then there's no better time to create a snug, inviting nook where you can curl up with a cup oftea and a good book. Escape the crisp air that autumn brings and surround yourself with warm textures, made perfect for unwinding. 

Look for unused corners of the home such as spaces near windows, adding elements that engage the senses, like chunky cushions and plush wool fabrics. Transform spaces with a comfortable armchair, a cosy rug and maybe a small bookcase or a side table if the space allows. 

One Of A Kind

 

Let your decor tell a unique story this autumn with one-of-a-kind pieces that add warmth and personality to your space. 

Our new studio borders offer a playful twist on the classic autumn check weave, often associated with this time of year, bringing a fresh, vibrant feel to any rug, runner or staircase. 

All crafted in the UK, choose from a variety of earthy neutrals and borders that suit your style, and transform your home for a well needed seasonal update. 

70's Revival

 

 

The era best known for its bold geometric patterns, earthy tones, curved details and house planst in every corner is resurging for autumn. 

Creating homes where comfort is at the centre is ever so fitting for this time of year and what better way to do it that with a 70's inspired interior with a 2024 twist.

Interior architect Enis Karavil explains the, 

"Hallmarks of the 1970s design include bringing nature indoors, materials like velvet and rattan and patterned wallpaper."

Infuse your home with the warmth of large jute rugs, rattan furniture and geometric shapes that add character and depth to any room, making your home infectiously inviting. 

Rich shades of orange and yellow paired with golden hues of the natural jute fibre bring an irresistible sense of nostalgia to your living space, perfect for those cosy autumnal nigts snuggled up watching films by the fireplace. 

Mix 'n' Match

 

This autumn, patterns are stealing the spotlight, with everything from oversized stripes to botanical ditsy prints. Loud wallpapers and statement rugs are great for introducing pattern to your decor scheme, working best when colours and designs are mixed and matched with other elements of the space. 

Incorporate earthy hues from a statement patterned rug with the colours of your bed linens, and enhance the look with accessories that further complement your chosen autumnal palette. 

A perfect way to experiment with colours and patterns is by designing bespoke pieces, allowing you to be more creative with your living spaces and combine unique shades or prints no available on the market.
