Ah, autumn — the season of transition, where the falling leaves and crisp mornings signal the impending winter chill. It’s the perfect time to refresh and reinvent your home ready for the cosiest season of them all!

Start Fresh With A Deep Clean

Before you can fully embrace autumnal home decor, a clean slate is essential. Do all the deep cleaning bits that you’ve been putting off for months, like wiping down skirting boards, dusting lampshades, and cleaning up all your cupboards and shelves.

You can also use your autumn deep clean to give your curtains and blinds a little bit of TLC, to make them look and feel like new.

Layer Up The Soft Furnishings

During autumn, there’s nothing better than cosying up on the sofa with a hot drink and a good book — and the soft furnishings just help to finish off the space perfectly! Cushions, throws and bedspreads are not just functional, but can bring a touch of warmth during the colder months. 

Declutter Your Space

In the autumn months, your home is a sanctuary of calm and cosiness for you to retreat to as the nights draw in — so having a good sort-out is crucial! Donate unused furniture, homeware and even unwanted food to charities and food banks.

This will ensure that you start the season with a decluttered space — which means less dusting in the long run!

Set The Mood With Scents

Nothing says “cosy autumn evening” like the scents of ginger, pumpkin pie, cinnamon and cedarwood. Don’t be afraid to light a candle or crack open the reed diffusers to truly embrace the autumn season in your home.

Dive Into Autumn Hues

One of the best things about autumn is the gorgeous colours — which look fantastic in any home. Mix the brilliant yellows with the deep reds and earthy browns to really capture the season in your space. 

You can either add these colours with upholstery and accessories like curtains, Roman blinds and cushions, or you could go all-out and splash a bit of autumnal paint on your walls. 

Add Natural Elements

We all have fond childhood memories of kicking up the dry leaves during autumn — they’re an absolute staple of the season! But they’re also a fantastic finishing touch to your autumnal decor. 

Think about using pine cones, dried leaves, or branches in vases or decorative bowls around your home, to bring the season indoors.
