How to Make Your House Feel More Autumnal This Season with Next at Home

 Happy September Readers,

As the evenings draw in and the air takes on that crisp autumn chill, our homes become sanctuaries for warmth, comfort, and style. Creating an autumnal feel doesn’t mean completely overhauling your interiors it’s about layering cozy textures, warm lighting, and seasonal accents. With the latest Next at Home collections, you can bring the essence of autumn indoors in effortless, stylish ways.

Your entrance sets the tone for the whole home. A wreath with acorns, berries, or autumnal foliage instantly creates a welcoming, seasonal look. Next’s Orange Autumnal Acorn Wreath does exactly that a perfect blend of rustic charm and subtle elegance for your front door or hallway wall.

Autumn is the season for layering. Soft, tactile fabrics like knits, velvets, and faux fur instantly make a room feel warmer. Drape a chunky throw over your sofa, then add seasonal cushions to build depth. The Natural Autumn Pumpkin Faux Fur Cushion is a great choice it’s playful yet chic, and perfect for curling up on cooler nights.

Swapping your bedding is one of the simplest ways to shift into a new season. Opt for brushed cotton or flannel for that extra-cozy feel. Next’s Natural Stripe Pumpkin Duvet Set adds a touch of subtle autumnal patterning without being overwhelming, making it perfect for both minimalist and cozy interiors.

As daylight fades earlier, soft lighting becomes key. Think beyond ceiling lights use lamps, lanterns, and candles to build a layered glow. This Bronze Pumpkin & Maple Scented Pot Pourri isn’t just about fragrance styled in a bowl or vase, it adds a warm visual element too. Pair it with a few amber glass candle holders and you’ll create instant autumn ambiance. 

Living Room: Scatter cushions in rust, plum and mustard tones, add a plaid throw, and place a seasonal centrepiece on the coffee table.

Kitchen: Display autumn themed mugs, a wooden chopping board, or a pumpkin shaped serving bowl to celebrate the season through everyday items.

Bedroom: Layer textures brushed cotton sheets, a quilted bedspread, and warm-toned pillows.

Bathroom: Swap lightweight summer towels for deeper, earthy shades like burnt orange or forest green, and add a candle on the windowsill/unit for evening relaxation.    

Small touches can make the biggest difference. A seasonal doormat, an autumn-scented diffuser, or a woven basket filled with throws gives your home that cozy, lived-in charm.

Making your home feel autumnal is all about evoking comfort, warmth, and a little seasonal magic. With carefully chosen pieces from Next at Home, you can create an inviting space that celebrates everything we love about autumn golden tones, cozy textures, and the irresistible pull of home on a chilly evening.


With Love,
