The leaves on the trees outside have orange and brown tones, with a hint of gold so you could use this to draw inspiration from and bring these colours into your home.

Here are just some ideas on you can give your home a makeover this Autumn.

Change the soft furnishings

This will be a simple but effective way of changing the look inside your home. Update your cushions, curtains, throws and rugs and have them complement each other.

Take a look at places like Sunpan to draw inspiration from.

Decorate your fireplace

Another quick win would be to change the key pieces that sit on your fireplace. Adorn with fairy light or candles and watch them twinkling in the evening. It will really add to the ambience in the room feel warm and cosy, especially when the fire is on. Try putting some pine cones and pumpkins on the mantel to really top off that Autumn vibe.
