People associate a cosy home with warmth, comfort, simplicity, personal touches and a homey feeling that makes them feel relaxed and at ease.
Autumn is a beautiful time of year, and it's the perfect opportunity to update your home's decor to reflect the changing season.
The Sovereign Hills Display Village is full of design inspiration to help add warm and cosy elements to your abode.
Bring in natural elements
Natural materials like timber, stone, and brick help create a rustic and natural feel that's perfect for the season. Style your space with timber furniture, bamboo or wooden cutting boards, clay or ceramic kitchenware and seagrass baskets.
Warm up your colour palette
Autumn-inspired colour schemes include warm shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown. These colours create a cosy and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for the cooler months.
Use accent pieces such as cushions and rugs or wall art to add colour and complement your scheme.
For a sustainable twist, you can create a beautiful focal point by arranging some autumnal foliage in a vase, or a wreath using dried leaves, flowers and branches.
Layer up your textiles
Layering different textures is a great way to add depth, interest and warmth to an autumn-themed space.
Soft, plush textured fabrics like wool, cashmere, and faux fur are great choices for throws, pillows, and blankets.
Switch up your lighting
Soft lighting can create a warm and inviting atmosphere in any room. Using warm-coloured light bulbs and incorporating soft lighting fixtures like table lamps and candles can create a cosy and comfortable space.
Sink into sofas
Whether it's a plush sofa, a cosy armchair or a big bean bag chair, comfortable seating is a must for a cosy home. You want to be able to relax and sink into your furniture.
Glow up
A fireplace is a perfect addition to an autumn-themed home. It provides warmth and adds to the cosy atmosphere of the space. Whether you decide to snuggle up in your loungeroom with a good book or venture outdoors to roast marshmallows around your landscaped fire pit, everyone is drawn to a mesmerising amber glow.
