September Style: 4 Simple Steps to Refresh Your Interior

As September rolls in, the leaves turn shades of burnt orange, and the air takes on a crisp chill, it's the perfect time to bring the season's style into our homes. Adjusting to this time of year is all about embracing the warmth and comfort that autumn naturally inspires.

In today's blog, we'll explore ways to introduce September, autumn-inspired interiors and fresh colour schemes into your space. Keeping your home decor current and seasonal is essential. Say goodbye to fresh flower arrangements and vibrant summer colours—now's the time to welcome dried floral arrangements and a rich, earthy colour palette. With burnt oranges and deep, moody tones being so trendy this year, transitioning your home to reflect the season will be effortless and stylish!

Step 1: Layer Textures for Comfort

Stage 1 of this transition is all about layering. This is the time to bring out the cosy blankets and pile on the cushions. Autumn is the season for cuddling up with a pumpkin spice latte and binge-watching your favourite movies or series, so make sure your space is ready for ultimate comfort.

Textures are key here. Consider experimenting with different materials like woven fabrics and boucle to add some depth to your decor. And of course, a thick, chunky knit blanket is an absolute must-have this time of year!

While style is important, comfort is crucial—especially in your bedroom and living space. Think soft, fluffy textures that invite you to relax. Sure, a sleek throw may look great, but let's be honest—you're not going to snuggle up in that when it's time to get cosy! Focus on pieces that feel as good as they look.

Step 2: Introduce Warm and Earthy Colour Palettes

It's time to embrace colour! With autumn, the best part is you don't need to shy away from bold shades like burnt orange, burgundy, and deep reds. In fact, now more than ever, you should fully embrace these rich tones. As the days get darker and shorter, your home should be a place that radiates warmth and invites you in with cosy vibes.

If you're not planning a full redecoration—like painting your walls or panels—accessories will be your best friend. Start with something simple and affordable, like switching out your cushion covers. Having a collection of different covers for various seasons can make a huge difference. This way, you can easily transition your space from one season to the next. You can even mix and match with fresher, lighter covers from summer. The possibilities are endless!

Step 3: Set the Mood with Candles and Seasonal Scents

You know it—September is the perfect time to start bringing out your candle collection, and let's be honest, there's nothing more exciting than that. The soft glow of a candle adds instant warmth and character to any space. Whether you prefer unscented candlesticks or you're all about those scented ones, candles are a must-have for autumn.

Diffusers are another great option, especially since they work well year-round. But for this season, a diffuser with a scent like cinnamon or burnt orange is absolute perfection. Not only do they keep your home smelling fresh, but they also enhance that cosy, autumnal atmosphere. After all, you want a home that looks great and smells just as inviting!

Step 4: it's all about the accessories

To ensure your home is fully prepared for the autumn season, it's time to bring in those essential seasonal decor pieces that make a big impact. Start with a beautiful fall wreath for your front door to set the tone as soon as you enter.

Swap out your regular candle holders for more seasonal ones, perhaps in warm metals like brass or copper.. Adding a cosy, earth-toned rug can also help ground your space and tie together all the seasonal elements. Don't forget other small touches like autumn-themed throw pillows, blankets, and table runners. These details not only embrace the season but also make your home feel warm and inviting as the temperatures drop outside.
