As the days grow ever shorter and memories of our delightful British summertime fade, it’s time to turn our attention towards the great indoors. With a few delightful touches of texture and colour on top of a few considered accessories it’s possible to transform the feeling of your home and achieve that cosy retreat we all crave suitable for hunkering down all autumn long.  

Get Cosy

Nestle in and get cosy by layering sumptuous textures such as linens and brushed cottons and accenting with low level warm lighting. For the bedroom, our sophisticated Alora Bed Linen Collection has been specifically designed with a wonderfully soft laundered finish and is made in Sweden from the finest flax yarns. Here, you might consider the charming handcrafted Eolie Table Lamp with it’s textured rattan which provides a homey, elegant feel and produces a marvellously textured shadow light effect when illuminated. 

Add a lick of paint and you’ve got the perfect cosy scheme you’ll want to hide away in! Choose warming earthy tones such a ‘Pearl Oyster’ and ‘Limed Oak’  that will cocoon you though the blustery autumnal days 

Set Your Mood

Midnight Jade PaintWith the nights drawing in, setting a mood with rich, vibrant colours to energise your interior (and yourself!) is more important than ever. Look to the deep, inky luxuriousness of Midnight Jade with soft touches of Chelsea Rose to fill you room with colourful vibrance. If you’re looking for a table lamp for a living room, bedroom or dining room, then these paint shades look excellent as a backdrop for our striking Milla Bronze Table Lamp - the tree of light! A perfect organically- inspired, hand cast, finished and gilded lamp which looks magnificent in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

 

For that quirky dinner party showstopper or finishing touch, look no further than the magnificent 3 Piece Dog Shaped Bowl in a delightful Purple Majolica finish. Hand-crafted in Italy by highly skilled artisans finished in a rich, glossy lacquer, it’s  sure to have your dinner guests in a frenzy for the hors d'oeuvres.

Bring the Outside In

Shale GreenYou don’t have to watch the world from your window this Autumn. Continue to feed off the joy of nature with your interior choices and bring the outside in with ‘Shale Green’ paint inspired by the rich green of the Hosta leaf. For a subtler sprinkling of natural tones consider ‘A Touch of Green’, a suitable choice for those looking for a paint shade for rooms with less natural light. 

Bold floral patterns like those found within the expert embroidery of the Somerley Spice Cushion are a perfect way to accessorise with the outside in mind. Gorgeously intricate flowers and leaves adorn this wonderful cushion on a smart linen ground.

Adding touches of wood or natural rattan to a room makes it feel softer and inviting - perfect for creating a space you’ll want to unwind in. For a woodland-inspired feel consider the spectacular, hand-carved Tribal Wooden Stool as the ideal living room accent; perfect for perching or to us as an end table for keeping that steaming mug of hot tea close by!
