An Autumn Palette
It's fascinating how our surroundings can spark inspiration in unexpected ways. The vibrant and rich hues of the changing leaves outside can evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, nudging us to bring that cozy feeling indoors. As we immerse ourselves in finding amazing pieces for a space, we are reminded of the beauty of seasonal transitions and their influence on our interior choices. Refreshing our homes for the season not only updates the aesthetic but also cultivates an atmosphere of calm and tranquility, essential for creating a sanctuary within our living spaces. Take a moment to draw inspiration from nature's palette and infuse your home with the cozy allure of Autumn.
I started a new project this week where the brief was to Refresh and update a home with new floor plans, cabinetry, and a mix of new and old pieces that will transform the space into something special. It allows for a blend of modern functionality with classic charm, resulting in a unique and personalised design.
Whilst researching and finding some amazing pieces for the space - it got me thinking about inspiration from our surroundings and the rich hues of the changing leaves outside. It inspired me to put together this post as I feel that we all need a little inspiration for our own homes to update and refresh for the season and create an atmosphere of comfort and calm.

This is the perfect time to start layering textural fabrics and incorporating warmer shades of colour in the home. The transition to deep burgundies, rich cinnamons, and warm orange tones can evoke a cozy and inviting atmosphere within a room. Layering different fabrics with varying textures not only adds depth but also creates visual interest. These color choices can evoke feelings of comfort and warmth, making the home feel more welcoming and snug, especially during the colder months. By carefully selecting fabrics and colours, you can infuse your living space with a sense of style and sophistication that reflects the current season's mood.

Transform Your Office Space with Wood Tones and Rattan Textures
Incorporating wood tones and rattan textures into your office decor can bring a sense of warmth and sophistication to the space. By blending natural elements, you can create a serene and inviting atmosphere that enhances productivity and creativity.
Wood Tones:
Wood tones such as oak, walnut, or maple can infuse your office with a timeless elegance. Whether you opt for a wooden desk, bookshelves, or accent pieces, the richness of wood adds a touch of warmth and comfort. Consider mixing different wood finishes for added depth and visual interest.
Rattan Textures:
Introducing rattan textures through furniture or decor accents can lend a relaxed and organic feel to your workspace. A rattan chair, lampshade, or storage basket can soften the overall look and provide a natural touch. The light, airy quality of rattan complements wood tones beautifully and creates a harmonious blend of textures.
Balancing Act:
To achieve a cohesive look, balance the wood tones and rattan textures throughout the space. Mix and match pieces to create a harmonious flow, being mindful of proportions and spacing. Add pops of greenery with house plants to further enhance the natural vibe and bring a sense of tranquility to your office.
