With the colder mornings and darker nights approaching, it is clear to see that Autumn is drawing nearer and Summer is just a distant memory. With that being said, now is the perfect time to transition your home into the perfect seasonal haven.
In this guide we will give you our top 5 expert tips on how to prepare your home for the colder months ahead and create the ultimate cosy sanctuary with our range of gorgeous upholstery fabrics.
1. Explore Different Textures
Creating an Autumnal sanctuary within an interior space involves a careful arrangement of textures to evoke the warmth and cosiness of the season. Rich, tactile elements such as plush velvet cushions and throws introduce a sense of luxury and comfort, mimicking the softness of fallen leaves. The inclusion of wooden furniture and accents also brings a rustic touch which helps to create the perfect balance in an interior.
2. Pay Attention To Detail
When preparing your interior for the arrival of Autumn, it's the attention to detail that truly transforms your space into a seasonal haven. Consider swapping out lightweight summer bedding for cosy, autumn-themed duvets, and pillow covers containing earthy tones and rustic patterns to instantly impart a sense of the season. Complement this with thoughtfully placed scents like cinnamon or pumpkin spice candles that not only provide the room with a warm, comforting aroma but also evoke the essence of Autumn.
3. Layer, Layer, Layer!
Layering in autumn is an unspoken rule in interior design and is one of the most inexpensive and least time-consuming ways to give your home that Autumn feel. Start with the fundamentals, such as layering textures through throws and cushions in warm, earthy tones. Consider draping chunky knit blankets over sofas and chairs, not only for their functional warmth but also for the visual richness they bring. Curtains can also play a part as heavy layered window treatments can enhance insulation while adding depth and dimension to your interior.

4. Opt For Thicker Fabrics
In the colder months, the incorporation of thick and warm fabrics into interior design becomes the ultimate source of comfort and cosiness. Luxurious materials like velvet, wool, and faux fur take centre stage, offering both physical warmth and a visual invitation to relaxation. Whether it's a textured knit throw or a plush curtain to dress your windows, our fabrics can help to transform your interior into a warm and serene refuge.
5. Autumnal Hues
Incorporating autumnal colours into an interior design scheme can evoke the warm and inviting atmosphere of the season. Think of rich, earthy tones such as deep oranges, warm reds, and mustard yellows, which mirror the changing leaves outdoors. These hues can be used as accent colours on walls, in upholstery, or through decorative elements like throw pillows and curtains. By strategically blending these autumnal colours, you can create an interior that looks like it has been put together by an expert and really capture the feel of Autumn!
As you can see, there is a variety of different fabrics and ways to create the ultimate seasonal interior for the months of Autumn ahead.
