As the leaves turn and the evenings draw in, autumn feels like the perfect time to refresh your home. Bringing warmth, comfort and your personal style into your space does not always mean a full redesign. Often, small and thoughtful changes can make a big difference, giving your home a fresh and inviting feel for the season ahead.
Sustainable Interior Design: Refresh What You Have

A sustainable approach to interior design is about making the most of what you already own. Pieces you love do not need replacing, they can be reimagined. Reupholstering a favourite chair, updating soft furnishings or introducing a few well-
chosen accessories can transform a room while keeping its character intact.
I am currently working with a client in Warwickshire to refresh their existing furniture with beautiful new fabrics, creating a look that feels personal, considered and kind to the environment. It is a great reminder that you do not always need to start from scratch to create something beautiful.
Autumn Colours, Textures and Timeless Touches

Colour and texture are key to a seasonal home refresh. Mid-century and classic design elements remain timeless, while autumnal shades such as burnt orange, cumin and deep green add warmth and depth. Layering cushions, throws and tactile fabrics in these tones creates a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere without the need for a major renovation.
A few thoughtful swaps can completely change how a space feels. Replacing lighter summer fabrics with wool or velvet brings instant warmth and texture. Autumn is also the perfect time to bring the outdoors in. Beautiful branches, rich-coloured berries and even pumpkins can add natural
texture and seasonal interest to your interiors.
Comfort, Character and a Home You Love

A refreshed home is about comfort and individuality, not pressure or perfection. You do not need a complete overhaul to enjoy a space that feels stylish and calm. Using natural materials, high-quality textiles and carefully chosen homeware allows your interiors to evolve naturally with your lifestyle.
You can enhance this further with simple touches such as candles, a soft rug, or a few carefully chosen decorative accessories. These small updates can transform the feel of your home, making it cosy, welcoming and perfectly suited to the season.
