1. Cottage Core

Like its name suggests, cottage core takes the homeliest aspects of rustic country living and applies them to your living space, wherever you may be located. It encourages us to play with texture and layering throughout our home. This can be done with different fabrics in the guise of new curtains, blankets and throws. Cottage Core also emphasises wood features and natural material in combination with soft light to create a snug atmosphere.

2. Warm and earthy tones

Just because it's getting cold outside, doesn’t mean you can’t turn up the heat when it comes to the colours you use inside. An interior trend you’ll want to copy in your home is the use using of warm and earthy neutral tones. Forget greys and whites, earthy oranges and soft greens are the colours dominating this autumn.

3. Let there be light

If you’re looking to make a big transformation to your home this autumn, grand windows and skylights should be high on the list. They allow in natural light and keep it warm during those sunny - but chilly - autumn and winter days. Not only do they make a room seem bigger, they also bring a little of the outdoors in, which, for many of us working from home, can make all the difference to our wellbeing.

4. Create a reading nook

It’s no surprise that reading corners are a popular trend throughout autumn and winter. Relax and unwind in a comfy chair, after selecting a book from your library to read under the delicate light of a floor lamp. Add a few throws, comfy cushions and a side table to hold a warming beverage, and you’ve got the perfect space to switch off from everyday life.

5. Add some wicker

Wicker is an element we love for its texture and versatility, and it can work with most interior décor. Having made a huge comeback this year, it’s weaving its way into our homes in many ways. From chairs and storage baskets, to tables and lampshades, this rustic material creates a fresh and relaxed interior.

6. Tablespacing

Create a cosy autumn tablescape with new crockery, candles and placemats in hues as beautiful as the fallen leaves outside. Once you've got your hands on larger statement pieces, fill in the gaps with acorns, leaves and pinecones — perfect for creating an eco-rustic feel.
