Keep your home cosy in autumn with these style tips

By Caoimhe Hanrahan-Lawrence •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

It might be getting cooler outside, but that’s more the reason to turn up the style barometer inside! From warm bronze hues to sophisticated citruses, you can create your own autumn enclave for each room, making them opulent and inviting. Henley design manager Vicki Gillingham shares her insights into why autumn is a great inspiration for your home décor.

Go rustic and golden

Autumnal shades such as golden yellows, oranges and deep reds are warm and inviting.  You don’t have to go further than your own backyard to draw inspiration from the majestic autumn leaves.

“Nothing says glamour more than a peppering of burnt orange and red soft furnishings against the foundation of earthy tones and inviting lattes. Consider adding a variety of textures to build on depth and warmth,” Vicki suggests. “And why not add a bit of gold touches in vases with dried floral arrangements, to amplify the elegance.”

Get cosy with natural hues

What else is on the colour horizon this autumn? Natural fibres such as jute or kaza are rising in popularity. The delicious beiges and chocolate browns are especially suited for the bedroom and living areas. 

“Consider adding a mix of towels and scented candles with warmer spiced aromas in your bathroom, in burgundy and shades of chocolate,” says Vicki.

A touch of timber

Lighten the mood of a room by introducing deeper tones against a gentler background of neutrals. Warmer whites and luscious lattes, natural timbers, and stone are popular neutrals this season.

A small amount of teak timbers add that extra sense of warmth to a home.  Rather than timber being the major element in the room, why not use it subtly in art frames, side tables and décor.

Beige is not boring

Creams and beiges continue to be popular in 2021. Use the palest of browns or chocolates in your living areas to add a touch of warmth and tranquillity to your interior.

Laminate flooring in light timber hues, especially in the main living areas, are right on trend. They are much warmer than tiles, giving them both the trend and comfort advantage.  Plush carpets in lighter tones, with a thicker underlay for luxury, are also the perfect underfoot choice for cooler Autumn evenings.

Decorate with flexibility in mind

Selecting neutral colours allows you the flexibility and freedom to change accessories easily and more affordably to accommodate seasonal styles and emerging trends.  By simply changing cushions, artwork, throws and even moving around furniture, you can create a totally different feel in your home.

SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jas SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jasminemcclellanddesign delivered. And then some!

"With a keen eye for design, they wanted their main bathroom to feel calm, spa-like and elevated with more storage, better layout, and soft, layered textures in a neutral palette. Lighting was another big focus, with the goal of creating a space that felt luxurious enough to unwind in, preferably with a glass of champagne in the bath.”

Is it a yay or a nay for you?

The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday w The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday was a real treat. Such an exciting and sleek looking upgrade to my favourite kitchen machine!

The new look speaks for itself and, as usual, the engineering is impressive. Here's the biggest changes that stood out to me:

1. It's SO quiet and in fact SILENT up to a certain speed 
2. It has a much bigger 10 inch screen
3. A new insulated, cool to touch bowl (the inner metal bowl detaches to wash)
4. A gorgeous new matte black design with fluted and herringbone details and made of 30% recycled materials 👏🏼 

Enjoyed a beautiful lunch all prepared, naturally, in the Thermomix! Was great to meet @mise_en_place_aus in real life as well as special guest dessert queen @kirstentibballs and catch up with the lovely Thermomix team.

Tag a friend who'll be coveting the TM7! It's available from next week!
