Earthy hues of rust, burgundy and mink are chic, calming, and create a welcoming atmosphere.

 

Rebecca Snowden, Interior Style Advisor at furniturechoice.co.uk, shows how to style this warm palette at home for the cosy season.

 
1. Introduce comforting, earthy hues in the bedroom

Build a palette of warm, earthy hues like rust, tan, oatmeal and mink in the bedroom. “Colours associated with nature are known for their soothing properties, and this includes the earth tones,” Rebecca explains. 

 

“Begin with a light neutral base like mink walls or an oatmeal bed, then layer on warm browns and off-whites through bedding and accessories.”

 

Add natural interior accents that encourage a calming ambience such as a wooden bedside table or flowers in a vase. Mango wood in particular has a golden brown tone that pairs well with minimal, luxe accessories.

 

“Amber glass is a chic option for autumn decorating thanks to its rustic colour and natural material base. For a touch of glamour and shine, explore amber glass feature lights,” says Rebecca.

 
2. Create a vibrant contrast in the dining room

Take a daring approach in the dining room by using rich, contrasting autumn tones. “Burgundy is a gorgeous choice - it has a seasonal vibrance which is great for perking up a space that sees more energy and activity,” says Rebecca. Balance the striking colour with mink chairs and ivory accessories to soften the overall look.

 

A dark wood and glass dining table holds its own against the bold setting while bringing a sleek, refined quality. “The rich dark brown tones complement the lush palette and add a material richness to the scene - finish off with some greenery or flowers for freshness,” she advises. 

 

Hang a metallic pendant light directly above the dining table to ensure sufficient lighting while introducing a touch of luxe. Further accessorise with natural materials like rattan and clay to create an inviting dining space.

 
3. Give a grey living room a seasonal update

Update a grey living room with a comforting shade such as Eiderdown by Earthborn - a cool grey with a tinge of lilac. The calming and sophisticated colour is softened with candles or warm hued lighting to create a cosy glow.

 

“A cord sofa is perfect for autumn with its soft, plump cushions and comfy material,” says Rebecca. “It has a laid back, unfussy style that’s dressy enough on its own, but also layers well with chic pillows or throws.”

Contrast the substantial sofa with a thin-legged brass coffee table for visual interest. “Brass is a great choice with its rust undertones and rosy finish,” advises Rebecca. Light glimmers off the metallic surface to add to the intimate ambience while giving a polished look and feel.
Extra style tip:

Create a physical moodboard to help bring an interior vision to life - lay out sofa and paint swatches, décor pieces and even floral options to see how they will look together before making purchases. 

 

“There can be individual moodboards for each room, or a general one for the entire home - this helps ensure coherence as you transition between rooms,” says Rebecca.
