How to make your rooms cosy for Autumn
Warm and inviting colours
Choosing the right colour scheme for your space is essential in perfecting an inviting feel. Covering your walls with autumnal colours is a simple way to ensure you achieve the cosiest aesthetic. An earthy, satin paint or an intricately patterned wallpaper can make all the difference when creating an enticing ambience. A homely beige or experimenting with reddish hues would be a guaranteed success for a warm winter look.
Choose wooden furniture
Wooden furnishings instantly give your room a homely feel with their dark tones and rustic looks. Incorporating wood into your decor is simple with accessories, such as bowls, ornaments or shelving. Alternatively, you can add wood to your space more prevalently, with a coffee table acting as a central piece or laying a hardwood floor for a more dominant effect.
Antique aesthetics
Swap contemporary with antique furnishings to give your home a brand-new feel. Creating a vintage look can be easy and affordable without compromising quality. Reusing a family heirloom or visiting your local secondhand shop will help you give your home a distinctive character while still exuding a rich, stylish finish.
Autumnal accessories
Accessorising your room has never been easier with our range of brass fixtures and copper lights containing some of our warmest metal finishes. However, if you want to add an autumnal touch to your space with alternative accessories, there are plenty of options.
A soft, shaggy rug provides your room with an added layer of warmth and can be laid to craft various looks. If you have a coffee table in your room, placing a rug underneath it will create a sleek, cosy finish. A larger or runner-styled rug maximises the space of a room, with more detailed styles acting as a prominent feature.
Of course, classic accessories such as blankets, cushions and ornaments are timeless elements of every room, helping to add texture and comfort to your space. Customising these to suit autumnal colours and patterns is recommended throughout the winter months, as these will be sure to make your home snugger than ever. You can never have enough blankets or throws over the colder periods!
Creating cosy areas in your home
You can make the most of your space by establishing different zones within your room. Experimenting with different areas helps smaller rooms to appear bigger while ensuring larger rooms are maximally utilised and feel rich.
A restful reading area
Allocating space for a reading area gives your room extra comfort while ensuring full visibility for tasks that require focus. How you light your reading space depends on the surrounding decor and where it is positioned in the room.
If you have placed your reading chair next to a side table, a table lamp will accessories the space nicely and provide clarity when reading during evening or nighttime hours. A floor lamp will make a fantastic reading light, as its overhead positioning caters to reading areas in the corner of a room or with minimum space for further decor. It will, therefore, not take up lower-level space, granting you full visibility and accessibility.
Maximum comfort in your communal space
When it comes to your living room, a communal space is often the centre point of the area when watching television or gathering with family and friends. How you light this zone is essential, as different times or occasions will alter the reason for its use. For example, watching the television at night or simply catching up with people will require different lighting styles.
Adding a pendant light to your communal space is a great way to make full use of the area while being cost-effective, as the multi-functional nature of pendant lights will prevent the requirement of several fixtures.
A style such as the Eglo Rocamar Triple Bar Glass Pendant can be fitted with dimmable lamps so you can set the tone of your room depending on particular functions. It is also worth noting that this type of pendant light is brilliant for dining areas, as you can light your entire dining table with one fixture. Better still, the copper finish means you are still on track for selecting exquisite autumn lights!
