With the busy summer days drawing to a close and September around the corner, it’s time for delicious home-making inside with our best décor ideas for an autumn home - our guide to giving the home an uplift with the best of AW23 season style. Read on for our interior autumn-style ideas.
As the temperatures begin to drop and the days become shorter, it's natural to want to seek refuge in the comfort of our own homes. Creating a space that feels cosy and inviting can help us feel restored and inspired during the autumn months. In this article, we'll explore some of the key trends for the new season and provide tips on how to incorporate them into your home decor to achieve that coveted "calm cave effect" that autumn is known for.
The country house effect on interiors
In recent years, many have been drawn to the charm of modern farmhouse style and the sense of comfort it brings. For those looking to enhance this aesthetic with a touch of authenticity, consider incorporating elements of period homes and country house style this autumn. The addition of classic furniture and picturesque palettes will give your home a distinctive look and inject personality and eclecticism into the space. With this approach, you'll be able to create a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for the darker months ahead.
“French Blue is all about homes that have lived and loved so shop this trend if you’re looking to add a time-aged country character to your room using a statement piece of wall art, an elegant lamp or armchair to prepare your home for autumn.”
The dopamine decorating trend
We’ve all heard about dopamine dressing and, since we’re inside such a lot in autumn now’s the time for a little dopamine decorating. An autumn home style needs to feel good and this is where the soulful mood of our New Neutral trend comes in. This season our buying team have given this trend a nostalgic edge with soft curves and boucle finishes, nodding to the 1970s interior trend.
“For those seeking to enjoy a taste of the cosy nostalgia of the 70s trend without completely reinventing their homes we’ve enriched our neutral trend with subtle patterns and curves – giving this neutral look a more inviting feel and a style-reviving power for autumn.”
Earthy living room style
Discover the new pieces in our Industrial Loft collection to enjoy a peaceful and studious look at home. Distinct Industrial style interiors can be incredibly cosy for autumn because the pared-back approach feels calming – and thoughtful.
“The new Astoria collection offers homes warming, rustic style yet each piece is Industrial-inspired and commanding – making this range an effective choice when you’re seeking a piece to give you a whole new perspective inside. And the coffee table is perfect for styling with autumn accessories.”
Update a Scandi home, Zen-style
Autumn is the perfect time to create a snug and calming atmosphere in your home, and Nordic style is a great inspiration with its focus on hygge. A hygge style home can be easily acheived by adding fleecy sheepskins, lighting candles, and creating an open fire – but if you prefer a more uncluttered look, try a zen-style approach this year. This approach evokes the calmness of a Scandi Spa setting. Autumn can be a challenge when you loose the added space of the garden - but declutter with the handcrafted oak furniture that typifies our Scandi collection for a zen-calm interior and carefully zone your home in an elevated way.
“This look is all about quiet corners and restorative interior style - the surfaces a clean because the decoration comes in the natural elements to keep the look minimal, and calm.”
Elevate and update a grey interior
To create a more welcoming atmosphere in our grey hall stairs and landings this autumn, we're opting for a new kind of lived-in apartment style inspired by our trend, Faded Elegance. By incorporating refined pieces, elegant proportions, and oversized yet feminine decoration, decorate for the autumn months by infusing the space at home with old-world charm and enjoy an interior autumn style that is both inspiring and inviting - and feel good every time you return home from the cold.
“With our core Cox & Cox, we always aim to provide every style of home what they need to elevate the look at home each season - and we think there's no better season to style than autumn.”
