How to Style Your Home for Autumn 2025: The Key Looks to Try

There’s something about autumn that makes us want to retreat indoors and make our homes feel cosier. The darker evenings, warming colours, and rich textures all lend themselves to a seasonal refresh. The good news? You don’t need to redecorate from scratch. Small, thoughtful updates can completely transform a space.

In this guide, I’m sharing the top interior styling ideas for Autumn 2025 and how you can bring them into your home using pieces from our brand-new Autumn Collection.

1. Start with a Warm Colour Palette

Colour is the foundation of every room, and autumn is the perfect excuse to embrace tones that feel rich and inviting. For autumn 2025 interiors, we’re seeing a big shift towards grounding neutrals with deep, seasonal accents:

• Caramel & taupe for a timeless base.

• Plum & burgundy for richness and drama.

• Olive green to add warmth and pair beautifully with wood finishes.

• Mustard & amber to create that golden autumn glow.
  

A quick tip for you, If repainting feels like too much effort, add these shades through cushions, throws, or curtains. It’s the simplest way to bring in autumn colours without committing to a full room makeover.

2. Layer Textures for Depth & Warmth

Autumn styling is all about how a room feels. The secret? Layered textures. They add depth and instantly make your home feel more welcoming.

This season, think about:

• Velvet cushions for a touch of luxury.

• Chunky knit throws to drape over sofas and armchairs.

• Patterned curtains to frame the room and soften the space.

• Rugs in natural fibres to ground everything.

Don’t be afraid to mix fabrics. The contrast between smooth and textured finishes is what makes a room feel cosy yet stylish.

3. Create a Cosy Glow with Lighting

As the evenings get shorter, lighting becomes one of the most powerful styling tools. Swap harsh white bulbs for warm-toned lighting and use layers to set the mood:

• Ambient lighting (ceiling lights or floor lamps) to create the overall atmosphere.

• Task lighting (table lamps or desk lamps) for practical spots like reading corners.

• Accent lighting (candles, fairy lights, or picture lights) for finishing touches.

Styling tip, place lamps in corners to bounce light around and make the room feel bigger and more inviting.

4. Add a Statement Focal Point

Every room benefits from one bold element that anchors the space. A single statement piece can transform an otherwise neutral room:

• A patterned cushion on a plain sofa.

• A bold rug that ties together your autumn colour palette.

• An oversized mirror to reflect light and add drama.

One focal point per room is all you need to make the styling feel intentional without overwhelming the space.

5. Don’t Forget the Seasonal Details

The smaller details are what make autumn styling feel complete. I always think of accessories as the jewellery of the home. This season, try:

• Decorative vases filled with seasonal stems.

• Textured baskets for both storage and style.

• Candles & diffusers to add a cosy, sensory layer.
  

  

These pieces are easy to switch out as the seasons change, so your home always feels refreshed.

Styling your home for Autumn doesn’t have to mean a complete makeover. By focusing on colour, texture, lighting, and one or two statement pieces, you can completely transform the feel of a room.

Our Autumn 2025 Collection brings all of these ideas together — from tactile cushions and made-to-measure curtains to artisan accessories designed to last well beyond one season.
