How to Prepare Your Home for Autumn
Embrace Cosy Comfort with Soft Furnishings
As the air turns cooler, layering in soft furnishings becomes essential. Consider adding plush throws and tactile cushions in warm, earthy tones such as rust, olive or deep burgundy to your favourite chairs or sofa ranges. Reynolds offers timeless options like the Amersham 2 Seater Sofa, beautifully crafted with a high square back and wide scroll arms for both traditional and contemporary settings. This suite is made in the UK and offers a choice of formal standard or pillow back for tailored comfort.
These pieces create the perfect backdrop for autumnal textures. Swap light summer fabrics for heavier wools or knits to cocoon your living space in warmth.
Illuminate Your Evenings with Ambient Lighting
Shorter days mean we need smarter lighting. Introducing table and floor lamps, alongside softly glowing candles, can transform your space into a welcoming autumn retreat. If you are looking for furniture to pair with your lighting updates, explore Reynolds’ tables, including stylish console and lamp tables, ideal for layering candles and accessories.
Stick to warm white bulbs to preserve that golden glow. Cool whites can unintentionally make rooms feel sterile and cold.
Declutter and Create Intentional Space
Autumn is a natural reset point. Begin by decluttering each room, making space for new seasonal pieces and maintaining a calm, functional environment. Try the 90/90 rule (if you have not used it for 90 days and it does not spark joy, pass it on) to streamline your home efficiently.
Once cleared, a newly free space invites intentional styling with statement furniture. A console table could hold autumn blooms or a new occasional chair could define a reading nook.
Curate a Cosy Reading Nook
Make the most of Reynolds’ comfortable pieces such as the Enna Power Recliner Chair. This elegant piece features a high back, curved solid legs and choice of fabrics or leathers, offering flexibility and timeless relaxing style.
Pair with a side table for your favourite hot drink, add a soft throw and you have the perfect spot to unwind as evenings draw in.
Bring Nature and Texture Indoors
Autumn styling is all about warmth and layering. Bring in natural elements such as dried foliage, pinecones or seasonal branches for simple yet effective décor details. Scatter these around your home atop coffee tables or lamp tables for that effortless touch of nature.
Repurpose décor items you already own. Move cushions, trays or small artworks between rooms to refresh your look economically and stylishly.
Elevate the Bedroom for Autumnal Rest
Your bedroom deserves the same seasonal attention. As temperatures drop, consider a bed designed specifically for autumn comfort, such as the Dahlia True Edge Deep Divan with Warm Side/Cool Side technology. It features wool layers to keep you snug during the colder months.
Swap out lighter summer duvets for cosier options, layer additional throws at the foot of the bed and add a bedside table with a warm lamp and a seasonal candle for serene evenings.
