September brings a subtle change at home. After such a long, hot summer, cooler mornings and evenings are finally beginning to arrive and with them comes the opportunity to make our homes feel a little warmer and more inviting.
There’s no need for a complete seasonal makeover. A few carefully chosen changes, softer textures, warmer lighting, beautiful fragrance and practical touches for the entrance and fireside can gently take your home from late summer into autumn.
And while our Summer Sale continues, with 20% off sitewide, it’s a lovely time to start getting your home ready for the season ahead.
Add Warmth with Throws & Blankets
One of the easiest ways to introduce an autumnal feel is with texture.
A beautiful throw or blanket draped over a sofa, armchair or bed instantly makes a room feel softer and more inviting. From lightweight recycled cotton to cosy wool and faux fur, layering natural textures works particularly well in coastal and country interiors.
Keep the overall look relaxed by choosing soft, natural shades that complement rather than completely change your existing décor.

Create a Cosier Atmosphere with Lighting
As the evenings gradually become darker, lighting starts to play a much bigger part in how our homes feel.
Table lamps and floor lamps create pools of softer light around a room and can make living spaces, bedrooms and hallways feel instantly warmer.
Add candlelight in the evening for an easy, relaxed atmosphere that feels just right for the changing season.

Change the Mood with Home Fragrance
September is also a lovely time to rethink your home fragrance.
Candles and reed diffusers can subtly change the atmosphere of a room without changing anything else. As we move away from the height of summer, you might find yourself naturally drawn towards warmer, comforting fragrances alongside fresh botanical favourites.
A beautifully fragranced candle also brings that unmistakable feeling of a cosy evening at home.

Give Your Entrance an Autumn Update
With wetter weather inevitably on its way, now is a practical time to think about the entrance to your home too.
A quality coir doormat helps keep muddy shoes and paws at the door while adding character to your entrance. Country-inspired designs are particularly lovely for creating a warm welcome as we head into autumn.
Add a lantern or seasonal planter nearby and even the smallest entrance can feel considered and welcoming.

Start Thinking About the Fireside
It may not quite be time for roaring fires every evening, but September is the perfect opportunity to get the hearth ready.
Beautiful log baskets, kindling holders and fireplace accessories can be decorative as well as practical, bringing natural textures and traditional country character into the home.
Getting everything organised now means you'll be ready when those first properly chilly evenings arrive.
