As September ushers in cosy evenings and the excitement of a new season, it’s the perfect time to infuse your home with autumnal charm. This year, go beyond simply swapping summer shades for traditional autumn hues. Instead, consider adding a pop of unexpected colour with quirky accessories or artwork to rejuvenate your space. In this blog, we’ll share tips on how to embrace the new season with style.
The Power of a Statement Colour
Let’s start by exploring the impact of a single statement colour. While autumn palettes typically feature earthy tones like russet and ochre, this season we’re captivated by deep reds and ripe oranges. These vibrant shades can instantly refresh your space, infusing it with playful, dynamic energy. Our design team’s latest favourite? Lively rust tones that create a soft, enveloping atmosphere.
Textures and Textiles
Autumn isn’t just about colour—textures play a crucial role in achieving that cosy vibe. Incorporate thicker, more tactile fabrics like warm wools and heavy weaves, whether in cushions, throws, or upholstery. The more layers, the better! For example, we love how an upholstered ‘Celia’ ottoman in our ‘Bunty’ fabric with GP & J Baker adds depth and a comforting, layered feel to one of our room schemes, perfectly complementing the season.
Seasonal Accents
Prepare your space for autumn by incorporating art and accessories that reflect the season. Replace summer pieces with warm-toned artwork, rustic candlesticks, and nature-inspired objects. These thoughtful touches bring warmth and create a cosy, inviting atmosphere that captures the essence of autumn.
Autumnal Dining
Transform your dining table with rustic tableware, warm-toned linens, and earthy centrepieces showcasing seasonal produce. Add bold, warm-coloured accents and artsy candle holders to enhance the inviting autumnal atmosphere. As the season invites more home cooking, savour hearty meals made with autumn’s rich bounty.
For a special treat, join us at The Soho Hotel on September 18th for the ‘Taste of Britain’ event, where Chef Joe Fox will present a four-course menu celebrating British seasonal ingredients.
Embrace the season’s change with a playful autumnal twist, and let your personal style shine through in a unique way.
