Retro Warmth Meets Modern Comfort
This season is all about a mix of retro and modern. The comfort of layered textures meets the nostalgia of 70s-inspired shapes and colours, while painterly patterns and vintage accents add depth and artistry. Together, these elements create a home that feels warm, welcoming, and undeniably stylish—perfect for autumn living. Find our guide to autumn style below:
As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, autumn calls for interiors that feel warm, inviting, and effortlessly stylish.
1. Pattern Play: Checkerboard & Painterly Prints
Checkerboard patterns continue to make waves, but this season they’re softened with earthy tones for a retro-inspired update. Alongside this, oil painting–inspired patterns bring a sense of artistry and depth to textiles, wall décor, and accessories. Think countryside landscapes in antique frames paired with bold, nostalgic prints for a curated yet lived-in look.
2. Colour Palette: Rich & Earthy
Autumn 2025 is grounded in a palette that feels both retro and timeless. Deep chocolate browns, glowing ambers, and moss greens layer beautifully with neutral beiges, ivory, and soft off-whites. Together, these tones capture the warmth of the season while staying versatile enough for a modern interior.
3. Retro Shapes: Arcs & 70s Influences
From arc-shaped furniture in rich walnut finishes to oversized rustic lamps, curved silhouettes are the statement-makers of the season. With a nod to 70s style, these shapes bring fluidity and softness, perfectly balancing bold patterns and textures.
4. Textural Layering: Comfort You Can Feel
Texture takes centre stage this autumn. Bouclé remains a firm favourite, continuing to dominate the trending leaderboard for its plush and tactile quality. Pair it with linen textures for a light, breathable contrast.
5. Practical & Stylish: Washable Rugs
Rugs play a huge role in anchoring autumn interiors, and practicality is key. Washable rugs in earthy tones and subtle patterns bring style without compromising on everyday ease, making them a smart addition to busy, family/pet-friendly spaces.
6. The Finishing Touches: Rustic Meets Refined
The autumn look is elevated with antique-inspired pieces: countryside oil paintings in ornate frames, brass finishes with a vintage patina, and oversized lamps that feel rustic yet chic. These touches ensure your home feels layered and full of character.
