Autumn interior design trends

Posted on: Friday, October 3, 2025

The evenings are atmospheric, the mornings are brisk, and the interior of your home is ready for a revamp! Autumn is a great time to inject some cosiness back into your home, so grab a mug of something warm and take a look at these top interior design tips to help you welcome in the new season… 

 

Cosy textures and fabrics 

To create an inviting and comfortable space, experiment with different textures and fabrics. Opt for plush, velvety cushions, and soft knitted blankets to add warmth to your sofas and chairs. Consider layering rugs with different textures, such as wool or faux fur to create a welcoming and luxurious feel underfoot. 

 

Decorate with the outdoors 

Incorporate elements from nature to bring the outdoors inside

Incorporate elements from nature to bring the outdoors inside. Autumn is the season of abundance, and you can reflect this by punctuating your spaces with dried flowers, pinecones, and autumnal wreaths. A bowl of seasonal fruits like apples, pears, or miniature pumpkins can make for a delightful and vibrant centrepiece on your dining table or coffee table.

 

Use an autumnal colour palette 

Bring your living room or kitchen to life with a few accents of autumn’s most brilliant colours. As nature adorns itself with rich tones of orange, gold, and red, implement these warm hues into your home through the use of textiles, accent walls, and accessories. Consider incorporating burnt sienna, deep burgundy, or mustard yellow in your cushions, rugs, and throws.

 

Use candlelight for ambience 

bring a warm and intimate atmosphere to your home with the gentle glow of candles

 

As the nights draw in, bring a warm and intimate atmosphere to your home with the gentle glow of candles. Place scented candles in autumnal scents like cinnamon, vanilla, or spiced apple to add a delightful seasonal aroma to your living spaces.

 

Section off a spot for reading

Autumn is the perfect time to indulge in a good book while wrapped in a blanket. Create a cosy reading nook by placing a comfortable armchair by a window or near a fireplace. Add a side table to hold your favourite books and a soft, glowing lamp to create the ideal ambience for a relaxing reading session.

 

Embrace imperfection 

as autumn rolls around, it’s time to incorporate rustic elements into your interior design

The airiness of minimalist layouts simply screams summer, but as autumn rolls around, it’s time to incorporate rustic elements into your interior design to capture the essence of the season. Wooden furniture with natural finishes and exposed grain can add a touch of earthiness and warmth to your home. Consider adding vintage touches or DIY crafts to infuse your space with a personal and authentic feel.  

 

Seasonal finishing touches 

Switch out your summer art and décor with autumn-themed pieces. Hang artwork that showcases fall landscapes, wildlife, or simply seasonal phrases in beautiful calligraphy. As things really start to cool down, consider swapping out lightweight curtains with heavier ones to add an extra layer of warmth and privacy.

Having recently used 3 other agents I can say with hesitation that WGH are in a different league, very professional, efficient, polite and friendly. 3 other agents have marketed my house which only achieved 2 viewings in total. I had 2 viewings with WGH in the first week which I put down to their marketing skills

"

WG-H couldn't have been more helpful, queries were answered immediately by professional courteous staff , and they even offered to turn the heating up in our holiday house when the weather was particularly cold. Gayle would ring us during an evening to respond to our query , if required and Amanda even paid a cheque into our bank account. What a lovely company to work with.

Adrian and his team have been amazing from start to finish. Very polished team, with the highest standards. I have recommended them to friends and family who have also been impressed by them.
