Hello Autumn: Elevate your home for the new season
As the weather gets cooler and the leaves start turning, the inspiration for transforming your home for autumn begins. As the new season sets in, our homes become a retreat where you can settle down, get cosy and relax in a peaceful environment. Keep reading to explore ways to transform your home with luxury and seasonal touches. Embrace autumnal colour palettes The easiest way to welcome the season is through colour. Shades of burnt orange, deep burgundy, olive green, and golden neutrals bring nature’s seasonal colour palette indoors. Incorporate colours into your space with ease by refreshing walls with a new coat of paint that fits autumnal tones. A rich, earthy paint colour or wood paneling can create an instant seasonal update. Plus elements like pumpkins, dried foliage, and warm-toned ceramics add small pops of colour to existing decor within your living space. Layer with textures Autumn is all about cosiness after the warmth of the summer months. Invite elements of comfort and layering into your home with soft furnishings that provide the perfect finishing touch. Elevate any sofa or bed with soft, chunky throws and blankets in classic autumnal colours and patterns for an extra dose of seasonal design. They also make the perfect addition to those cosy nights in! For added detail, layer scatter cushions and larger pillows for a homely environment that you can kick back and relax in with ease. Add wooden accents for warmth Nothing says autumn luxury like wood tones. Wooden features bring depth and sophistication, while keeping your home grounded in seasonal style. Our InsuSlat panels are a modern yet cosy way to update your living room, bedroom, or home office. Plus their insulating properties help retain heat within the room so you can stay warm and save on your energy. Antique Rust, Warm Oak and Dark Walnut colours are the perfect shades to capture that autumnal feel within your home. If you want smaller wood details to elevate your current aesthetic, add decorative features like wooden trays, bowls, and candle holders for subtle yet effective warmth. Switch up your lighting As days grow shorter, lighting becomes a key design element. Candles are a popular addition to any home as the season changes into the autumn period as they instantly make any room feel intimate and relaxing, as well as being complimented by classic autumnal scents. Switching your bulbs in your existing lights from cool-toned lighting to a warm-toned bulb also helps bring softer lighting to your space Add ambiance indoors or outdoors with our lighting collection. Elevate your InsuSlat panels with our LED battens or strip lights for a warm glow to compliment your interior. Give your outdoor space a refresh too with our stylish outdoor lighting collection.

If you want to give your garden a refresh, changing the layout and replanting flowers and shrubs can help bring new life to your space. It’s also a great time to plant your bulbs for flowers like daffodils and tulips so they are ready to bloom come springtime. With our wheelbase planters it’s easy to move around your pots whenever you want a change of scenery, as well as making replanting easy and fuss free. Switch up your fencing Fencing isn’t just practical, it’s a major style element in outdoor design. Updating fencing is a simple way to make your outdoor space feel new while adding functionality, whether you want to opt for a different style or looking to add some darker wood toned colours to your garden for the colder seasons. Our fencing collection slots seamlessly into concrete posts or our aluminium posts, meaning you can switch the slats out for a different style or colour without the need to reinstall the entire fencing structure. Seasonal colour palettes A fresh coat of paint or a pop of colour can completely change the energy of your space. As we head into autumn, warm browns and oranges become the colours of the season with lots of interior and exterior design and decorations transitioning away from the lighter, brighter colours of the summertime. Colour is an easy way to change your living space, simply add soft furnishings and decorations for a quick refresh, or completely revamp your space with added decorative screens or wall panelling. Get your home ready for the season transition and refresh your space with Charles and Ivy today.
