Autumn is quickly approaching, so now is the perfect time to spruce up your home ready for the cooler months. The great British sunshine has been lovely, but designing your home to make the most of the autumnal weather can create the perfect cosy atmosphere for you and your family.
Here are our top picks from local home and garden store, Shackletons, which is based in Fox Valley, and is just a stone’s throw away from our Willow Heights development in Stocksbridge. This is the ideal place to shop for the new season, where you can get everything from large statement pieces to the little details that make all the difference.
Create a new cosy corner
What better time than autumn to create a space in your home where you can relax and unwind. Our dream space would be a little reading nook, decorated with gorgeous pieces such as this Camden bookcase, which has a natural oak finish to bring warmth to the space.
You could pair this with the Extreme Lounging Mighty Bean Bag for ultimate comfort in your newly transformed space. We’re imagining rainy nights spent cosied up on this sheep’s wool bean bag, picking your favourite book from your new shelf.
Add some autumnal colours throughout
It can be nice to add some new touches throughout your home when it comes to a new season. Little details such as this Nourison Rugs Celestial Runner Rug can make all the difference, especially on solid floors that might get a bit colder with the weather.
If you want to take it to the next level, you can add some autumnal prints to your home, such as this Art Marketing Copper Frost painting, which depicts a grouping of slender English elms on the brink of autumn. There is no better way to welcome September than this.
Buy some new pieces of furniture
Treat yourself to some new statement pieces that will elevate your home’s interior and transform the space. Pieces like this Tetrad Eriskay Bedding Box in Bracken Herringbone Fabric are fantastic for adding an extra layer of character to your room and help to bring it to life.
If you’re looking for a piece that is practical with a modern twist, the Java Round Wine Cabinet by Carlton Furniture is made for the autumnal months, with an industrial style which can be a focal point of your room.
Spruce up your garden space
Your garden isn’t just for the summer, and you can make the most of your outdoor space even as the weather takes a turn. This Gallery Garden Outdoor Perano Firepit is essential for outdoor living in the autumn and is excellent for a quiet night in or entertaining guests.
If you need somewhere to sit to enjoy the flames, this AFK Garden products Orchard Arbour is a beautiful choice, with a roof to shelter you from the cooler weather.
