Autumnal Interior Design Inspiration
As the leaves change colour and the days get shorter, it’s time to start thinking about Autumnal interior design. Autumn is all about getting cosy, warm drinks, and spending time with family and friends, so your interior should reflect this beautiful season.
Autumnal interior design is a great way to add some warmth and comfort to any room in the house and is also the perfect season to introduce more warm tones and this season it’s all about an earthy colour palette that is reflective of autumn leaves. Colour choices that will keep you right on trend for the season are deep, leafy green tones, earthy colours of rust and chocolate and brick and mustard.
An area of the home that is sometimes overlooked when thinking about styling for the new season is our dining rooms. There are so many options when it comes to adding a splash of warmth and Autumn to your dining room – think linen, glassware, vases and candles. Play with combining pieces that are different heights to create an informal yet impressive centrepiece.
If you’re looking for some Autumnal inspiration, we’ve got you covered! We’ve listed some of our favourite Autumnal interior design ideas to create a warm and inviting home before the leaves start to fall.
Let There Be Light
Autumnal interior design is all about creating an inviting atmosphere. Somewhere you are happy to spend time and that your friends and family feel right at home.
Autumn is a time of year when the days get shorter, so lighting becomes more important as we head into the winter months. So we recommend ditching the bright LED overhead lights and replacing them with warm bulb floor lamps and table lamps.
Candles are another fabulous way to add a really nice soft light and there’s something a little bit special about watching a candle burn and listening to the crackle.

Colours & Layers
This season is all about the Autumnal hues! Autumnal interior design should be warm and welcoming, so choosing colours that suit this style is important. Autumnal colour palettes this season include deep, leafy green tones, earthy colours of rust and chocolate and brick and mustard. with a few neutral tones such as white and grey thrown in for balance.
Don’t be afraid to layer up! We like to invoke the very popular phrase ‘the more, the merrier.’ So don’t be afraid to layer up with throw rugs and cushions on the sofa. Grab out the extra blankets for the bed and keep them on hand for when the Autumnal evenings turn chilly! Autumn is a time of year when we start to spend more time indoors, so it’s worth making sure that you’re cosying up your space.

Autumnal décor doesn’t have to be boring, though! There are many ways to bring some interest into your space by incorporating different fabrics like velvet or suede.

Autumnal is Anything but Boring!
Autumnal interior design should be warm and inviting, so choosing suitable materials is essential when styling your home with this theme in mind.
Budget and enthusiasm permitting, you might want to use Autumn as your excuse to invest in the warmer toned timber furniture you’ve always wanted. Furniture can be a big investment, so as easy as it is to get carried away with purchasing pieces that match the season, it’s important to think forward, as that gorgeous dark timber hall table that looks amazing for the cooler months, may be all wrong come Spring/Summer.
Autumnal décor doesn’t have to be boring, though! There are plenty of ways to bring some interest into your space by incorporating different fabrics, textures, and colours into your Autumnal interior design style.
To summarise, layer up with cushions, throws, and accessories. Then, dim the lights, grab a bottle of wine and your closest friends and cosy up.
