Hear the rustle of leaves and feel the fresh breeze? Autumn is on its way.

Do you need any more excuse for an interior makeover?

​

​

   Autumn interior design is all about the fiery colours reflecting the changing seasons outside. It’s a fun time to delve into a design makeover, with the bold, confronting colors reinvigorating your interior space and making it cosy for winter.
This season, we’re moving away from the generic autumnal palette (orange, dark brown and cream) to introduce velvety, dreamlike tones. Interior designers are predicting a blend of the masculine and feminine this autumn. Here are some of the biggest interior design trends for this autumn:

​

Colours

   Autumnal colours are still in, but they’re not alone this season. Interior designers recommend adding an unexpected dash of colour.This could be a blush of pink, lilac or indigo, mixed with grey. Alternatively you could create splashes of bolder colours to reflect the deeper hues of autumn:
burgundy or rust evoke the burnt-orange colour of falling leaves and berries.
  Creams and mustard yellows work well as soft, faded tones. One of the easiest and most stunning ways to add colour to your décor is to create an accent wall that accentuates a particular autumnal colour.

Textures

   In today’s world, everything is sleek and slim lined. When it comes to home décor and design, you want to escape the impersonal feel of an iPhone 12. And so the biggest trend in we’re seeing in autumnal textures is getting back to the rough rawness of nature. Furniture and décor with distressed surfaces – the very opposite of smooth and flawless – are what you want to look out for. When you’re looking at any home décor – be it an ornament or furniture – keep an eye out for items that are particularly tactile. Brushstroke, rough bark, hammered metal, woven tapestry and shagreen surfaces are just a few examples.

​

Furniture

   Choose natural materials – exposed timber, wicker, and slate – or a piece with a lightly tarnished or hand distressed lacquer. With factory-made, ready-to-assemble furniture increasingly common these days, interior designers are looking for more one-of-a-kind pieces that will add that something unique to your living room.
Vintage furniture, with its lux pedestal base, is hitting back with a vengeance.

​

Décor

   Autumn 2020 décor combines vintage with the modern for an eclectic look. Contrast is the word of the day: blending textures, colours and patterns creates a wholesome image that will readily add character and personality to your home. Think about floral arrangements – the earthy colours of dried flowers works well in autumn – as well as ethnic rugs or throws, cushions, and translucent, airy curtains.
