Easy tips for a cosy, seasonal refresh
As the autumn chill starts creeping in, it’s the perfect excuse to give your home a seasonal refresh. Hunker down in cosy layers and wrap yourself in comforting throws, while enjoying those warm, earthy tones that make you want to snuggle up and never leave.
We're here to share our secrets on how to make your home feel relaxed, inviting, and oh-so-autumnal. With just a few thoughtful touches, you can create a space that its right in with the season and makes staying in the new going out.
Embrace Earthy Tones
Let’s start with the foundations: the colour scheme. For autumn, we just love deep greens, warm ambers, and spicy reds—all the colours that mirror the changing leaves. These tones add warmth, depth, and a sense of calm, perfect for creating an inviting room where you can relax after a brisk walk in the crisp autumn air. Incorporate these wonderful colours through bed linens, throws, and cushions to bring the outside in, without the chill.
Style Tip: Try layering olive green or spicy red bed linen with a neutral layer. The art lies in mixing textures and colours that complement and contrast. If you’re going for a full refresh, you could paint the walls with Earthborn's "Gregory's Den" to set a grounded backdrop that lets those cosy textiles really pop—plus, it’s a colour that will look fresh all year round.
Extra Tip: If you're not ready for a full repaint, consider smaller accents like framed artwork in autumnal tones or vases in deep greens and rusty oranges. These simple swaps will instantly evoke that seasonal feel without any long-term commitment.

Tremendous Textures
Let’s talk texture, because true comfort starts with the right mix of materials. Brushed cotton, knitted blankets, and quilted throws are the perfect partners when it comes to an effortlessly laid-back yet stylish look, while keeping you warm as toast. Layering textures creates depth and a lived-in look that’s doesn’t feel too formal. Don’t forget, it's not just about your bedroom—extend these textures throughout your living room, bathroom, and even hallway for a homely vibe that feels like a great big hug when you walk into a room.
Style Tip: Partner natural bed linen with waffle, knitted or quilted throws. The layers will look as good as they feel. Throw in some cushions in different fabrics for a treat on the senses. Cushions with embroidery or tufting can add a touch of texture and personality too.
Extra Tip: Textures don’t stop at textiles. Introduce natural materials like ceramic vases, wooden trays, and woven baskets for a bit more warmth. In the bathroom, our waffle towels would look fabulous hanging on the rail, adding both style and function. A thick, knitted bath mat or soft bath robe can also will also keep you feeling toasty when you still don’t want to put the heating on.

Complement with Natural Accents
It’s cold outside, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to feel connected to the outdoors. Bring in natural accessories that echo autumn’s palette and textures. Experiment with natural wood, woven baskets, and perhaps even some autumn foliage or dried flowers for an earthy, rustic touch. Pine cones, acorns, and twigs in a simple bowl can be a lovely addition to your coffee table or dining table centrepiece.
Style Tip: Earthborn's "Flora's Tale" adds subtle, muted colour that complements natural tones perfectly. Try wooden photo frames, terracotta plant pots, or even a cluster of pumpkins for a playful seasonal touch.
Extra Tip: Switch out summery scents for candles in fragrances like spiced pumpkin, sandalwood, or cinnamon. A flickering candle in the evening adds instant warmth and a homely feel. When Molly comes to stay at Harriet’s house each week, the first thing she does is light the candles. Ambience is everything and all that. If you're into DIY, you could even try making your own autumn wreath for your front door or mantelpiece, using dried leaves, twigs, and berries.
