We’re obsessed with the start of Autumn! September feels like a true fresh start – right? Time for a few cosy updates to make your home the perfect retreat when it’s time to batten down the hatches.

Jewel Box Rooms

There’s nothing cosier than an attic room wallpapered from top to toe – it’s like stepping into a jewel box, with the room itself giving you a warm hug. Here are two of our favourites – above designer Nels Crosthwaite Eyre featuring our Botanica wallpaper; and below AVL Lifestyler showcasing our All Star wallpaper in candy.

Golden Hues

Soft lighting and gold finishes always warm the cockles. We love Alex Gore-Browne’s Moroccan lantern and antique mirrors reflecting off our vintage gold wallpaper in this cloakroom. Below, a favourite teen room: custom bed, metallic All Star wallpaper and pretty gold sconces – a scheme by Alexandra Young Design (photo by Robert Sanderson).

Soften the Blow

Nothing says “make yourself at home” like an oversized ottoman topped with irresistible reads. Upholstered in your favourite fabric (shown here: our Artichoke Thistle in teal) it’s a softer, cosier alternative to a coffee table. Take the edge off a hard bathroom floor with a shaggy rug. This one from Tate & Darby pairs beautifully with our Lattice Cane wallpaper and fabric in this lovely bathroom at Marratons, Cornwall.
