The nights are drawing in rapidly and whilst you might be looking forward to cosy nights with a hot chocolate and a good book, now is also a good time of year to tastefully brighten up your home before the blinding lights and excitement of Christmas sets in. Here are our quick and easy tips.
Bring the Outside In
The natural colours outside this time of year are breath-taking. Create your own haven of Autumnal colours within your home by clipping a few branches of your favourite leaves and placing them in a glass vase in a prominent space in your home. Although we associate flowers with Spring and Summer, a lot of plants also thrive in Autumn including highly colourful chrysanthemums and pansies.
Set the Mood with Lighting
Lighting trends for Autumn 2022 are bold bold bold! Colour blocking your lighting has really taken off this season and involves placing 2 or 3 lamps of the same style but different colours in close proximity for maximum effect. To achieve this look, keep an eye out for lamps with a base in the same colour as the shade. If you want to stay in keeping with the time of year, look for brown, red, yellow and orange hues.
Get Cosy
It’s the perfect time of year to get cosy and if the rising energy costs have you turning away from the heating dial for a little bit longer then cushions, blankets, throws and bedspreads are the answer! Adding a range of soft furnishings to your home in contrasting colours is one of the most practical, quickest and easiest ways to brighten up your home at this time of year.
