Warm Up Your Home This Autumn
By Josephine Marsh on
It's certainly been feeling more and more autumnal these past few weeks here in Shrewsbury, the leaves have turned and have been creating delightful little crunchy piles to stroll through, with that clean crispness in the air that makes it all the more pleasant and what better way to end the day than to return to a cosy home, accented by beautiful autumnal pieces.
From the rich hues of the changing leaves to the playful touches of Halloween popping up across homes with extra vigour this year; embracing the essence of the season has never been easier.
Whether you’re hosting a festive gathering or simply want to create a snug retreat from the chill, here are some of our décor pieces to infuse your home with warmth.
1. Pumpkin Ornaments: Timeless Seasonal Charm
Pumpkins are the quintessential symbol of autumn, but real ones can be somewhat messy and short-lived (especially when I get the power tools out to carve them!) - enter pumpkin ornaments stage right!
We've got a fabulous selection of sizes, colours and materials to suit all interiors. These beautifully crafted decorative pieces are perfect for adding a touch of autumn to any room.
Arrange them on your mantel, line them up on your dining table, or even place them in your porch for a charming welcome!
They’re an effortless way to bring the harvest spirit indoors, and best of all, they’ll last you through the entire season and every season to come when handled with care!
2. Autumnal Wreaths: A Warm Welcome
Nothing instantly says “hello autumn” quite like a beautifully crafted autumnal wreath.
Made with faux or dried leaves, berries, pine cones, and sometimes even small pumpkins or gourds, these wreaths bring the colours of the season right to your front door.
Hang one on your entryway, over a fireplace, or even on interior doors or walls to spread the autumn vibe throughout your home.
Opt for traditional hues like oranges and yellows, or go for a modern twist with subtle greens for a fresh, sophisticated look.
3. Autumn Softs: Very Demure, Very Mindful (IYKYK)
Autumnal themed soft furnishings are an adorable way to sprinkle seasonal flair around your home.
Both decorative and comfortable, we've got a small but perfectly formed selection of lovelies that are perhaps too nice to keep out for only a quarter of the year!
Mix and match different textures to create a layered, plush look that invites you to sink in and relax.
Pop a couple on your sofa, accent chairs, or even in a reading nook to create a warm and inviting spot to relax with a hot cuppa whilst curled up with a good book (or a long scroll through TikTok, if you're anything like me!).
4. Autumn by Candlelight: Cosy Ambiance Meets Seasonal Scents
Candles are a fantastic way to set the mood for the season, and we've got a wide selection of seasonal candles that'll fit the bill.
From ombré pumpkin-shaped beauties that may well be too adorable to burn to traditional dinner candles in oranges, purples, dark greens and blacks and scented jar candles with classic Halloween designs.
Place them on tables, mantels, or in your bathroom for a subtle nod to autumn that doubles as a chic décor element.
5. Themed Tableware: Perfect for Autumn Entertaining
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply enjoying an intimate meal at home, our seasonal-themed table pieces add a festive flair to your dining experience.
Opt for ceramic pumpkin-shaped snack bowls and dishes or go more subtle traditional with our vintage-style orange and green glass cake stand - perfect for autumn-themed cupcakes or as a raised display area for pumpkins and other autumnal décor.
We also have forest-themed place name holders, vases & candle holders, napkins, planters and more!
The pieces within this collection are not only practical but also make a stunning table setting that captures the essence of the season.
Pair them with gold-toned cutlery for a dining experience that feels both luxurious and warmly inviting.
Create Your Own Cosy Autumn Retreat
With just a few seasonal touches, you can transform your home into a cosy retreat that celebrates the beauty and spirit of autumn.
Whether it’s the whimsical charm of artificial pumpkin ornaments, the welcoming sight of an autumnal wreath or the inviting comfort of softly hued cushions, these décor pieces make it a doddle to embrace the season.
So light your Halloween candles, get your autumnal table-scape locked down and get ready to settle in... autumn is here, and it’s never looked so good.
