Embrace Warm, Rich Textures for Autumn

As every season approaches, layering textures becomes essential. Autumn invites you to slow down and savour the season. Use chunky knit throws, velvet cushions, and wool rugs to add both visual interest and physical warmth to your spaces.

Top Texture Picks for Autumn

Here are some top texture picks that can enhance your home this autumn:

• Rich velvet fabrics: These provide a tactile, cosy feel.

• Appliquéd cushions: Choose deep jewel tones for a luxurious touch.

• Wool throws: Drape these over sofas and chairs for warmth and comfort.

Transition Your Colour Palette

You don't need to overhaul your decor completely to achieve that perfect autumn ambiance. Instead, build on your existing neutral base with carefully chosen accent colours.

Timeless Autumn Colours

Here are some timeless autumn colours that work beautifully:

• Warm terracotta and burnt orange

• Deep forest greens

• Rich burgundy and wine tones

• Golden mustard yellow

• Chocolate brown and caramel

  
  

The beauty of a neutral foundation is that you can easily swap out accessories and soft furnishings to reflect the season. When spring arrives, transition back to lighter tones effortlessly.

Layer Your Lighting

As daylight hours shorten, lighting becomes crucial for creating atmosphere. This is the perfect time to introduce multiple light sources that create a warm, inviting glow throughout your home.

Lighting Layers to Consider

Here are some lighting options to enhance your space:

• Table lamps: Use warm-toned bulbs for a cosy feel.

• Floor lamps: Place them in corners that need extra warmth.

• Candles: Use varying heights and scents for a relaxing ambiance.

• String lights: Add a subtle, magical touch.

• Dimmer switches: Control the mood with ease.

  
  

The Katherine Jane Design Studio Approach

At our studio, we believe in creating homes that feel both luxurious and liveable. Our approach to seasonal decorating focuses on investment pieces that work year-round, enhanced by carefully chosen seasonal accents that can be easily updated.

We collaborate with our clients to create a neutral foundation that serves as the perfect backdrop for seasonal changes. This means you're not starting from scratch each season but enhancing what you already love about your space.

Making It Personal

The most important aspect of preparing your home for autumn is ensuring it reflects your personal style and lifestyle needs. Whether you prefer subtle nods to the season or dramatic transformations, the key is creating a space that feels authentically you.

Consider your daily routines, your family's needs, and how you want to feel in your space during the cosy months ahead. Do you need more storage for seasonal items? Would you benefit from a dedicated space for muddy boots and wet coats? These practical considerations are just as important as the aesthetic ones.
