Autumnal Comfort

This month's style tip is about bringing that cosy Autumn feeling into your home and forgetting about the dull days ahead! Think rich oranges, browns and pinks to compliment organic prints.


Harlequin 'Demeter Stripe'


Harlequin 'Nettles'

Why not try warming up your bedroom into a cosy sanctuary, by giving your headboard a new lease of life with 'Demeter Stripe' by Harlequin? With it's powerful yet soothing stripes its sure to give a fun and feminine look to your room. Or, for a more subtle effect, add a decorative throw in 'Nettles' by Harlequin, featuring gentle florals to put you into relaxation mode. To make the most out of this Autumnal theme, why not try a statement rug to create a cosy 'book corner' to curl up in? This theme is all about self indulgence; invest in tactile textures, lashings of cushions and soothing lighting. (All of the above fabric is available from Sasha Interiors, Hereford, and is part of the new Harlequin and Clarissa Hulse 'Kallianthi' collection.)

or...

Personalise it!


Get creative by pressing golden leaves and creating a feature frame. Decorate your shelves with clusters of handmade earthy ceramics in tones of bronze. Go all out with an elaborate window treatment with a feature blind in foliage patterned fabric and a complimentary set of textured floor length curtains.

Experiment with:


  • Feature drawer knobs to update a dull chest of drawers or wardrobe
  • Knitted items - cushion covers made from old jumpers or an extravagant rug; something to give that homemade warmth
