Colour and texture

  1. Swap in an autumn palette of rust, mustard and olive cushions.
  2. Layer chunky knit and faux fur throws on sofas and beds.
  3. Add velvet or wool cushion covers for depth.
  4. Lay a warm patterned rug over a lighter base rug.

Light and warmth

  1. Use candles and warm lamps instead of overhead lighting.
  2. Make the fireplace your focal point with logs and lanterns.
  3. Hang string lights on a bookshelf or window.
  4. Create a reading nook with an armchair, blanket and side table.

Seasonal touches

  1. Style a bowl of mini pumpkins and gourds.
  2. Arrange dried leaves and branches in a tall vase.
  3. Bring in rustic wood accents like crates and trays.
