As we approach the end of summer, the changing leaves and cooling weather are getting us excited for hot chocolate, movies and nights snuggled on the sofa. At Loney Miller, we love using the change of season as an opportunity to pumpkin spice up our decor. Take a look at this year's autumn trends to see how you can transform your home and create the perfect backdrop for those quiet evenings in.Autumnal patterns and tones
If you’re looking for a simple way to update your decor this season, focusing on adding in some autumnal tones and patterns is a great place to start. While you might want to go all out with the decorations for Halloween, a slightly more subtle approach may work better throughout the rest of the season. This Autumnal Pumpkins Duvet Set from Next is a brilliant option to bring some autumn fun into your bedroom, without feeling too garish or bold. To complement this statement bedding, try adding some earthy coloured accessories to your room, particularly deep reds, burnt oranges and soft greens. This fringed, velvet cushion from Idyll Home is a favourite here in the Loney Miller office!
Cosy lighting
Lighting is an essential tool for creating a welcoming space. Why not switch your blue-toned lights to warmer bulbs this autumn? While colder lights can hinder sleep, a golden glow is inviting and comforting, so it’s a win-win on those cosy, autumn evenings.
Adding table lamps, such as the Amber Orange Connor Table Lamp from Next throughout your home can help create soft lighting that is relaxing, particularly during the darker, colder nights. You could also string some fairy lights around fireplaces, staircases and shelving to create the perfect hideout for when the weather isn’t the best.
Autumnal scents
It wouldn’t be a home decor refresh without changing up your scents! We love the Autumn Walks Mushroom Candle from Dunelm, which will fill your room with the rich, seasonal notes of cedar and sandalwood to create a calming atmosphere.
If you’re looking for a candle that brings benefits to your wellbeing, the Neom Cosy Nights candle is another favourite, designed to bust stress and help you unwind. Pumpkin-scented room sprays and reed diffusers will also keep your home smelling delicious all day long. Adding in these seasonal scent boosters is a fantastic, cost-effective way of getting your space autumn-ready.
Embrace nature
Embrace the change in season and bring the outdoors in with some dried flowers - we’re loving these Autumn Maple Flowers from Sostrene Grene.
Maple leaves, autumn beauty sunflowers, and pumpkins from your local garden centre can add a pop of colour and brighten up your rooms - you could even paint the pumpkins to complement your decor. Pair your flowers with a brown, glass vase for the perfect finishing touch.
Textures
Make your home even cosier by experimenting with assorted textures for a playful, comforting addition to a living room or bedroom.
Blankets and throws are great for this, as they’ll help keep you warm and snug as well as looking lovely. We partlicularly like this Check Faux Mohair Throw from La Redoute, which can be draped over the arm of your sofa or placed delicately in a basket for guests to grab when they’re feeling a little chilly.
Outdoor styling
First impressions count, so don’t forget to level up your outdoor space as well as your interior! Take your front door to the next level with this Orange Autumnal Pumpkin Wreath from T.K.Maxx. Autumnal touches outdoors such as wreaths add warmth and personality to the exterior of your home.
