As the leaves begin to fall and the air turns crisp, there’s no better time to transform your home into a cosy retreat. At Ivymore Living, we're passionate about creating beautiful spaces, and we're incredibly excited to announce that we’ll soon be launching a new range of handcrafted pieces. But while we eagerly await these new additions, we wanted to share some of our favourite ideas for making your home feel warm and inviting during the autumn months. From layering textures to introducing seasonal tones, let’s explore how you can make the most of this season's comforts.
Introduction to your Autumnal Sanctury
Autumn is the perfect time to embrace warmth and comfort at home. The shorter days and cooler evenings invite us to retreat indoors and create a sanctuary. Making your home cosy for autumn is about more than just adding a few throws – it's about bringing in rich textures, autumnal colours, and beautiful accessories that reflect the season’s natural beauty.
Layer Up with Texture
One of the simplest ways to make any room feel cosier is by layering different textures. As the days grow colder, adding soft throws, plush cushions, and textured rugs can instantly warm up a space. Opt for autumnal tones like burnt orange, deep reds, and muted browns to bring the season indoors.
Tip: Layering isn’t just for sofas and chairs – think about adding blankets to the end of your bed or draping them over a bench in the hallway for a welcoming touch. The more layers, the more inviting your space will feel.
Glass Storage Jars: A Stylish Autumn Essential
Our Glass Storage Jars are not only practical but also add a touch of elegance to your kitchen or dining space. These oversized jars are perfect for storing everything from dried fruits and nuts to delicious homemade treats. You could even fill them with autumn-inspired baked goods like spiced cookies or granola bars for an extra cosy touch.
With their clear glass design, you can see the contents at a glance, making them both functional and decorative. They are perfect for displaying on open shelves, bringing a rustic yet polished feel to your home.
Idea: Why not use them to store healthy, trending autumnal snacks like roasted pumpkin seeds, trail mix with dried cranberries, or even honey-roasted nuts? Not only do they look fantastic on the countertop, but they also encourage healthy snacking throughout the day.
Embrace Autumnal Scents
Scents play a huge role in creating a cosy atmosphere, and at Ivymore Living, we believe in pairing home furnishings with fragrances to elevate the mood. This autumn, we’ve fallen in love with the seasonal scents from Diptyque. Their Mousses , Chêne , Noisetier , and Feu de Bois candles capture the essence of the season perfectly. Whether it’s the warm, woody notes of oak or the earthy, nutty scent of hazelnut, a well-chosen candle can transform any room into a snug retreat.
Tip: Place your favourite scented candle on a side table or mantelpiece, and let the fragrance gently fill the room, enhancing the cosy ambience you’ve created with your autumn sanctuary décor.
The Amber Short Fluted Glasses: Perfect for Autumn Entertaining
Autumn is also a season for gathering with loved ones, and there’s no better way to elevate your hosting than with our Amber Short Fluted Glasses . These timeless glasses bring a touch of sophistication to any dining table, with their beautiful fluted design and rich amber hue.
Perfect for serving drinks at a cosy autumn dinner or simply enjoying a glass of wine by the fire, they effortlessly complement the warm tones of the season.
The high-quality feel of these glasses makes them ideal for both everyday use and special occasions, adding a luxurious touch to your autumnal entertaining.
Colour Trends for 2025: Get Ahead of the Curve
While we’re focused on the beauty of autumn, it’s always exciting to look ahead to the colour trends of the coming year. For 2025, we’re expecting to see a continued love for nature-inspired tones, with deep forest greens, rich earth browns, and soft terracottas dominating the interiors scene. These colours are perfect for creating a calm, grounded space that feels connected to the natural world.
By incorporating these tones now, you can get ahead of the curve and create a home that not only feels cosy for autumn but is also on trend for the future.
Finishing Touches: How to Create a Cosy Atmosphere
Cosiness is all about the little details. Here are some final tips for making your home feel warm and inviting this autumn:
Lighting: Opt for warm, soft lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. Table lamps and candles are your best friends for autumn evenings.
Rugs: A soft, plush rug underfoot can make a big difference, especially in living rooms and bedrooms.
Artwork and Mirrors: Adding artwork with autumnal colours or a statement mirror can make a room feel more personal and cosy.
