Many people love the warm rich colours of autumn, and whether its russet, deep rich red or brown, bringing the seasons colours into the home can only be a good thing. Here, we explore the season’s best colours and how to fit them into your home décor, to being a rich autumnal feel to your rooms. 

Red

Deep rich red is a great, and very popular colour. It looks great in heavy curtains, ideal for keeping those rather cold breezes at bay, or as a throw on your sofa that you can use if you want to get cosy. In bedrooms, deep rich reds add an opulent look, so use lampshades in this colour, or perhaps look at adding deep red blankets on the bed to cosy up under. 

Gold

Gold leaves are a fantastic autumnal look and matching them with the deep red of autumn really gives a great look. Gold really should be used as an accent, and not a main colour, so look at gold accessories such as curtain tiebacks, or cushions rather than having a whole gold room. 

Brown

Many people disregard brown as a colour they want to use a lot of in their home, but combine it with any colour and it can make a great background colour for you to accent with golds, oranges and reds. Many people choose deep brown sofas, so adding a throw onto this can make it look very cosy. Also, brown is a great colour for rugs. Choose a nice thick one to last right through the winter and you’ll be very surprised at how sophisticated it looks.

Orange

Orange can be a tricky colour to get right, however if you tone it down with the brown, then it’s likely to be something that looks great in any room. Bedding is one place that might make it easier for you to use orange in a good way, by getting orange cushions, you can brighten up darker bedding, or add a heavy throw on a couch for a bright accent. 

Accessorize with the brighter colours by choosing things like scented candles in a range of autumnal colours, or choose some picture frames in oranges and browns. You could even go out on an autumnal walk and create your own pictures, by framing autumnal leaves to match your décor.

Whatever your preference, bringing autumnal colours into your home can only serve to make it look warmer, and lead you into winter feeling cosy.
