Updated: Sep 1



Autumn is such a powerful season for interior design because it naturally blends comfort, mood and beauty. As the evenings get darker and the weather gets colder, nothing is more comforting than being at home. Here are some amazing trends and ideas that are going to add character to your rooms and make your home more cosy and comforting than ever.

1 - Textures and Layering


Without texture and layering a room can feel flat and lifeless. However, layering materials such as, blankets and throws, big rugs onto hard floor surfaces and grouping candles together can make a room feel like it has more dimension and a cosy, comfortable atmosphere. Adding soft furnishings to a hard surface can make a space much more inviting and cosy. Some of our simple ways to add layers and textures into your room:


  • Thick , warm blankets on the edge of a sofa.

  • A large, soft Bound Rug on top of a hard wood flooring or sisal carpet.

  • Laying candles, ornaments or foliage on a tray, resting on a coffee table.






2- Earthy Tones 


Autumnal shades and colours bring an instant sense of warmth and cosiness. These colours counteract the cooler, darker days of the season making spaces feel more inviting and comforting. Autumn colours are drawn from nature - falling leaves, harvests, forest tones - so they all naturally pair well together and create a balanced environment. How to incorporate these colours into your home: 


  • Farrow and Ball autumnal paint colours

  • Brown, beige or orange wool or crochet blankets.                                                        

  • Red and orange tones through cushions, table décor and foliage.





3 - Trending carpets of Autumn


With it being the colder seasons lots of people are opting for a thicker pile and textured carpet. Made of fibres like wool, jute and sisal, providing tactile luxury and sustainable options. Rich earthy and jewel-tone colours such as deep blues, greens and warm browns, alongside an emphasis on natural materials and textures such as wool and ribbed weaves. Some of our carpets to consider in your home this autumn:


  • Sisal - Its thick, woven texture gives the space a natural warmth underfoot.

  • Ulster - Natura collection. Add some gorgeous deep colours and tones to your home, with a thicker pile for extra warmth underfoot. 







4 - Darker Wood


Dark wood is especially good in autumn interiors because it naturally reflects the mood, warmth and richness of the season. Woods like mahogany or oak bring a sense of warmth and cosiness, which aligns perfectly with autumn's need for inviting and comforting spaces. It grounds a space, preventing it from feeling too light or too flat when layered with autumnal textiles. The tones within dark wood also lead back to the organic, earthy tones of autumn, working very well when paired with wool and soft furnishings. Some of our ways to include dark wood into your home:


  • Furniture - Coffee tables, chest of drawers, shelves etc.

  • Accent walls and wall panelling, great for entryways, feature walls and even bed headboards.

  • Decorative accents - Wooden trays, bowls, picture frames and mirrors etc.

  • Flooring - Engineered wood or LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) creates a warm base for any room. 







5 - Farrow and Ball Autumn Colours


Farrow and Ball have many colours and shades of paint that create a warm and cosy interior. They are famous for their deep, muted tones inspired by nature.

6 - Bound rugs


If you have a hard floor throughout your home, or even a sisal carpet, you can create a cosy and warm atmosphere by adding a bound or whipped rug. Natural fibres like wool insulate and hold warmth, making rooms feel snug. With autumn being a muddier season, rugs are easy to clean or swap so they are more flexible than a fitted carpet. At Floor Design Wetherby we sell a wide variety of rugs where you can choose your carpet and the colour of binding around the edge. Or opt for a whipped edge! Here are some examples of our bound rugs:





These trends make a home feel cosy and warm in the autumn seasons. As the days get shorter and cooler, people are spending more time indoors and at home.
