Your Summer to Autumn Transition

Win at Winter Layering Just like your wardrobe, your home needs to add an extra layer or two to make cooler evenings comfortable. In summer we tend to want light, cool, smooth finishes but from the first waft of cool breeze it's all systems go to add richer, more comforting textures.

When we're in that transitional period between seasons, our feelings about things can be as mixed as the weather. If you're anything like us, you'll be thinking half 'oh no, summer is leaving' and half 'yes, snuggly knitwear time is coming!' with a pinch of 'yes another excuse to freshen things up' for good measure.

Change to natural light can often mean a desire to change colour schemes, and changes in temperature see a natural gravitation towards those thicker, comfier layers and comforting textures. The easiest way to welcome in autumn while respectfully showing summer the door, is to add in some key accessories.

Cosy up in your living room with sheepskin rugs on chairs and floors, and add chunky throws for maximum cosiness. In fact, get a whole pile of throws and neatly store them in a basket near the sofa so you don’t need to worry about chills or mess.
