Autumnal Style for Your Home
As the weather becomes a little colder and the nights draw in, you might be spending more time indoors than outside. Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the best of everything autumn has to offer and there are plenty of ways to bring a little taste of this season into your home.
If you don’t fancy making any lasting changes to your home then look for accessories that add a touch of autumn to your living space.
In the dining room you could look for a table runner in autumn hues and if you feel creative then you could even make your own autumn centrepiece for the dining table. Brightly coloured leaves, berries and rose hips, nuts, acorns and pine cones are all perfect things to seek out.
If you like the idea of using plants and flowers to brighten up your dining table then you could opt for trailing vines as these tend to turn red and burnt orange in colour during autumn. Late autumn flowers in golden yellow, orange and deep red colours are perfect so keep your eyes peeled for gerbera or sunflowers.
Any items you’re sourcing yourself should be picked when dry and then all you need to do is start arranging. Trim any brown patches or ragged edges from leaves and cover a bowl or platter with them. You can then place whatever you wish on top of the leaves, from acorns and nuts to pine cones and berries.
Autumn-coloured napkins will add a finishing touch to your dining table, and candles add a touch of ambience whatever the time of year.
Similar decorations can be added throughout the house, as flower arrangements and other pieces don’t need to be restricted to the dining room.
In the living room and bedroom you could invest in some soft furnishings which add a touch of autumn. Cushions, rugs and fluffy blankets in autumnal colours are easy ways to create a seasonal look and make your home even more comfortable to return to after a hard day’s work.
You could also change your lampshades to create a more autumnal feel and in the bedroom you could layer up your bed with a quilted blanket and throws. If you have an upholstered headboard you could easily replace the material for something more seasonal.
If you like the idea of creating a more permanent look then painting your home in warm, autumn hues could be the answer.
Warm colours such as cinnamon, aubergine and rich red add a homely feel throughout the year and as there are hundreds of colours to choose from you shouldn’t have any problems finding a tone to match your home.
When you go to the effort and expense of improving your home you want to make sure it’s protected against any unexpected accidents so make sure your home insurance cover is up-to-date.

My sunflowers died off in autumn. Will they grow back next year or do I have to re-plant seeds?
You’ll have to replant from seed. They’re not annuals.
Good Luck.
