The Autumn Reset: Cosy Layers, Warmth, and Comfort
, by Ruth Wilbur, 1 min reading time
As summer fades and crisp autumn days arrive, our homes become havens once more. This is the perfect time for an autumn reset, a chance to refresh your interiors with layers of warmth, tactile textures, and comforting scents. With a few timeless pieces and carefully chosen accessories from you can transform any room into a sanctuary of seasonal charm.
Create a Cosy Nook
As the evenings draw in, carve out a snug corner for reading, sipping tea, or simply unwinding. A handcrafted loveseat in sumptuous velvet or Harris Tweed, makes the perfect centrepiece. Position it near a window, a wood burner, or beneath a lamp, and you’ve instantly created a cocoon of comfort.
Layering for Warmth
Autumn interiors are all about layering. Soft throws draped casually over an armchair, paired with plush cushions in complementary prints and textures make for an enticing spot. We also stock a variety of sheepskins in a fabulous array of colours and sizes (from single all the way up to quad - rug size), ideal for adding both warmth and visual depth.
Cushions: The Seasonal Statement
Cushions are the easiest way to refresh a space. Whether you choose sumptuous velvet, tactile Harris Tweed, or bold patterned designs, mixing sizes and textures creates instant impact. All our cushions are feather-filled for that irresistible ‘sink-in’ comfort, while prints, such in Willow Dusk Floral bring seasonal character.
Prints & Patterns
Autumn welcomes bolder design choices. Pair buttery leather with textured tweeds, to create a balanced but lively aesthetic. For a more maximalist look opt for a pattern or print, we love our new Flying Ducks print and our patchwork velvet and leather chair options for injecting some serious seasonal style.
Warm, Layered Lighting
Lighting is key to creating a truly inviting atmosphere. Avoid the overhead and opt for table lamps and floor lamps in warm tones. We love the Eddison light bulbs which provide a cosy warm glow. While subtle, the right lighting can completely transform a space, instantly creating a comforting, cosy feel.
Rugs Underfoot
A rug is more than practical, it’s the anchor for a room. Layering rugs of different textures adds warmth and richness. Look for deep weaves, heritage-inspired designs, or warm tones to tie your space together with a cosy vibe. Perfect for chilly mornings, they complete the autumnal palette of comfort.
Finishing Touches
Accessories are the final flourish. A carefully chosen mirror will add character and much needed light as the nights draw in. We love the use of metallic accents in autumn to add a richness and warmth and bounce light around space adding a little magical "sparkle". These small touches can transform a space and reflect your own personality, we love the way you can create a surprise and talking point from a simple sign or well placed knick-knack.
Final Thoughts
The autumn reset is about more than decoration, it’s about creating a sanctuary that feels good to you. So why not dig out your favourite books, treat yourself to a new tea and carve away a short spell of time each week to focus on a little time just for you. With the busy hosting season approaching, we say grab a little time whilst you have it and luxuriate in a quiet half hour!
