A/W16 Colour Match

With only a week of August to go you may be having mixed feelings about the coming autumn. While we’re not exactly thrilled to be leaving summer behind, we equally love the particular charm that autumn holds. Snuggly duvet days, warm fires and earthy colours all make this season one of our favourites. Whether you’re looking forward to autumn or not, you can always chase away the gloomy weather blues with a style upgrade. Every year the vivid tones of the changing season provide endless inspiration for fashion and interior designers alike, so there’s no end to the home décor ideas for creating a cosy fall retreat. Here at Linens Limited we can’t get enough of autumn designs, so we’ve found some of the latest trends this season straight from the experts. Based around the latest craze of autumn colours, these design ideas are sure to have your home looking stylish and autumn ready by September.

Retro orange

Create a 70s throw back inspired by one of autumns best colours, a deep and earthy burnt orange. 70s inspired fashion continues to dominate the catwalks and now this retro glam design has crept into our homes as well. From a vibrant and bright burnt orange to Pantone’s refined potter’s clay, offset your favourite shade with accents of bold mustard yellow and funky patterns. On a backdrop of muted tones and some heavy textured fabric you can achieve a chic 70s look with a thoroughly modern twist thanks to simple clean cut shapes. The key to 70s perfection is plenty of coordination and matched pieces, easily done with cushions and matching accessories. To see 70s style in action and get more inspiration take a look at these retro inspired designs.

Scandi sky

A far cry from the typical earthy oranges we associate with autumn, this year sees brand new colours in the form of cooling blues and muted greys. Reminiscent of the changing fall weather, these colours are super sophisticated yet easy to style. The increasingly popular Scandi design with its clean cut lines and calming wood is the ideal style to show off these colours. To create a soothing Scandi environment to escape to this autumn stick to neutral tones with light wood and ceramic in classic greys. Introducing elegant and calming blues like Pantone’s Riverside and Airy Blue will add a modern and exciting twist while still in keeping with the soothing background décor and palette. If you love the Scandi style take a look at these amazing interior inspirations.

Dusty rose

Saying goodbye to summer doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to stylish floral designs and vibrant colouring. Surprising shades of pinks like Pantone’s dusty cedar paired with warm brown tones – think warm taupe – round up the colour trends for this autumn. We think these colours are translated best through fresh wintery floral patterns and cosy fur textures. Combine your décor with vintage looking white furniture pieces to contrast with deep warm tones and luxurious fur for an added feminine touch. Using brighter colours with floral patterns will keep your home light and airy as the days grow darker, while a thick fur throw provides the perfect place to snuggle up and keep warm. For more inspiration take a look at these floral and furry settings.
