How to Make Your Home Cosy for Autumn: Warm Throws, Blankets, and Rich Autumnal Colours
As the autumn days begins to settle in, now is the time to bring warmth and comfort indoors. There's something magical about this time of year as we go from autumn to winter—rich colours, soft textures, and the joy of getting cosy at home.
In this blog, I’ll share simple tips for transforming your home, making it cosy and snug for autumn, using some of my favourite pieces at Source for the Goose.
1. Layer Up with Throws and Blankets
One of the easiest ways to create a cosy atmosphere is by layering your furniture with soft throws. The Faux Mohair Ochre Check Yellow Throw is perfect for this. Its warm mustard tones bring a touch of autumn sunshine to any chilly evening. Or, if you prefer the weight of pure wool, the Illusion Pumpkin Pure New Wool Blanket will bring you pure joy.
For those quiet evenings in, nothing feels better than snuggling up with a cup of tea and a good book, wrapped in the softness of a beautiful throw.
2. Embrace Autumnal Tones
When decorating for autumn, it’s all about rich, earthy hues that reflect the beauty of the season. Think warm oranges, deep reds, golden yellows, and natural greens and browns. These colours instantly create a welcoming, soothing environment.
Add accents like this Burnt Orange Fabric Pumpkin—the perfect seasonal decoration. Place it on your coffee table or mantelpiece to instantly bring about the warm glow of autumn.
3. Add Texture with Accessories
Texture adds dimension and comfort to a space, and autumn is the perfect time to bring in natural, tactile pieces. The Ginger Spice Stripe Jute Storage Basket does this wonderfully. Its woven texture gives it an earthy, handmade feel, and it’s both practical and stylish for storing blankets, magazines, or even extra cushions.
Use baskets in your living room or bedroom to keep things tidy while still maintaining that cosy, lived-in look.
4. Set the Table for Autumn Get-togethers
Autumn isn’t just about cosy nights in—it’s also the season for intimate gatherings and sharing hearty meals with loved ones. To bring the seaon into your dining area, try using a Autumn Leaf Table Runner with Decorative Beading. Its intricate detailing will catch the light beautifully and add a seasonal tone to your get-togethers.
Pair it with candles and warm lighting for a magical dining experience, where every meal feels like a celebration!
5. Create Cosy Corners
There’s nothing better than a little corner to escape to for a quiet moment. Use throws, cushions, and natural décor to carve out a reading nook or a peaceful space where you can unwind. Make sure you add soft lighting —scented candles like this Fig & Honeyed Pear can work wonders for setting the mood.
Incorporate rich colours like ochre, burnt orange, and spice tones to make the space feel warm and welcoming, perfect for autumn relaxation.
