As the rich colours of autumn take over the landscape, our homes naturally call for a seasonal refresh. Autumn is the perfect time to introduce earthy tones and rich, grounding shades that evoke the cosy, welcoming warmth of the season.
Whether you’re sipping your favourite fall drink or enjoying a quiet night in, creating a space that feels warm and inviting is all about embracing the right palette, so here’s how to bring autumn colours into your home with style.
Pumpkin spice

With pumpkin spice season settling in, nothing says autumn quite like the heart-warming tones of deep burnt oranges, rust reds, and rich terracottas. These colours capture the essence of falling leaves and the golden glow of autumn sunsets, working beautifully in living rooms to add warmth to your space or as accents in cushions, throws, or rugs. When paired with wooden furniture or brass accessories, these shades create a cosy, rustic feel that’s perfect for autumn nights inside.
Styling Tips:
- Introduce a terracotta feature wall or sofa to make a bold statement.
- Incorporate rust red accents with pillows, curtains, or artwork for a pop of seasonal colour.
- Complement these shades with natural materials like wood and rattan, plus add a few pumpkins to truly embrace autumn.
Evergreen

For a touch of sophistication, bottle green brings the beauty of nature indoors with its rich tones. Deep forest greens exude a calming, luxurious feel, perfect for grounding a space during the crisp autumn months. Whether used in velvet upholstery, as a bold wall colour, or through subtle accents like plants and vases, it adds depth and elegance to any room.
Styling Tips:
- Pair evergreen with metallic accents like copper or brass to elevate the look.
- Use it in your dining or living areas to create a moody, intimate atmosphere.
- Layer it with dark wood and black for a striking contrast that feels modern and timeless.
Grounded Neutrals

Balancing, subtle neutrals provide the perfect backdrop to anchor your space. Warm beige, taupe, and soft greys offer versatility and warmth, allowing bolder colours to shine without overwhelming your home. Grounded neutrals also evoke a sense of calm and comfort, making them ideal for autumn interiors that feel serene yet stylish.
Styling Tips:
- Use neutral tones on walls, floors, or large furniture pieces to create a harmonious base.
- Layer in texture through woven fabrics, knit throws, and natural fibres like jute or wool to add interest and warmth.
- Combine neutrals with warm metallics like bronze for a chic, contemporary look.
Whether you go bold with a feature wall or subtly introduce these colours through accents, these autumnal shades will help transform your space into a cosy, elegant retreat that reflects the beauty of the season.
