I love taking inspiration from nature, and there\u2019s no better muse than autumn. Here are my tips for bringing the magic of this season into your home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jewel Tones<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Colour is a huge part of the appeal of autumn. The trees turn from verdant green to a rainbow of red, orange, purple and even dark blue. These rich and uplifting colours inspire a gemstone scheme for the home.<\/p>\n<p>Colours like emerald green, ruby red, inky blue and royal purple are perfect for creating a cosy yet striking space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shades of Grey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, go the whole nine yards with the neutral colour of the moment: grey. This colour scheme evokes the wintry, almost fairy tale-esque side of autumn but it transitions perfectly from season to season. Layer pale shades of grey and off-white for a soft yet atmospheric look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Texture and Textiles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year, it\u2019s all about texture and pattern \u2013 think gloriously chunky knits, soft mohair and faux sheepskins. As for pattern, tartan is always in vogue but I also love contemporary herringbone in pastel hues and global ikat prints.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natural Influences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bring elements from the great outdoors into your home for autumn. Scour the countryside and the coast for beautiful things you can display in your home.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer to leave the landscape untouched, you can of course fake it. Faux antlers, artificial plants and botanical wall charts are beautiful reminders of the bounty of nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luxe Comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The A\/W 2015 interior design trends are all about luxury and indulgence. Super soft textiles in the finest materials (like velvet and sheepskin), leather accessories and gold or copper elements add a touch of luxe to any space.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gloomy Glamour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another trend taken straight from the interiors catwalk is dark, gloomy, almost gothic interiors. This look is perfect for autumn and winter because it reflects the environment outdoors. It\u2019s dramatic and striking but it\u2019s also snug and comforting \u2013 the perfect hideaway for the cold months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Clair Strong Interior Design I\u2019m feeling energised and renewed by the beautiful autumn weather we\u2019ve been having.
