Autumn Home Ideas: Cosy Autumnal Feels

Looking for autumn home ideas that allow you to adapt your interiors to the season without a total revamp? Look no further than Raft. As a British company with our factory and Head Office in North London, we're no strangers to the cooler seasons. We love the shift in seasons and the way they allow us to transform our living spaces. So, with September upon us and darker, drizzly days on the horizon, we're introducing some seasonal touches to our homes.

Autumn Home Ideas: Changing your interiors with the seasons

There's nothing like snuggling up on the sofa with a hot drink when the temperature starts to dip. With the warm hue of falling leaves, earlier sunsets and the smell of rain, we're dressing our interiors accordingly. From cosy throws and comfy chairs to candles and lamps, your home deserves an autumnal refresh.

Get your Glow on

Moody lighting is always an after-dark must but never more than in autumn and winter. Cosiness becomes an essential part of every home set up once September hits and lighting is the easiest tool to achieving this. Our gorgeous lighting collection boasts a variety of table lamps and floor lamps. Whether your style is elaborate and detailed or pared-down and subtle, there is something for everyone. In the photo above, we have styled our Montclair Bed with two Witney Side Tables, finished off with two Peyrou Lamps. The beautiful, gold-detailed marble base is complemented by the earthy, neutral shade, striking a balance between country and city interior design.

Autumn home ideas including an earthy colour palette is a non-negotiable, if you ask us. Incorporating the colour of fallen leaves into your interiors is a must for optimum cosy feels. Our Onyx T-Light Holders give off a warm, fiery hue, making them the perfect autumn accessories, either as a dining table centrepiece, coffee table décor or the ultimate bedroom mood.

Keeping it Cosy

The best way to keep your home cosy is by introducing a variety of textures. Combining textures is a method our interior design team uses to introduce depth and comfort to a space, making it overall more welcoming and suitable for the colder seasons. If your colour palette is predominantly neutral, it's especially important to mix up textures to give your interiors some life and character. If you haven't done so already, it's time to stock up on cosy throws. Snuggling up on the sofa with an oversized, soft blanket is one of the greatest pleasures of the colder seasons and we're doing so in style.

Homely Dining 

As the nights get longer and the weather gets colder, we're getting ready for hot, homely meals in stylish stoneware crockery. Our Drift range of stoneware is oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe, making for the perfect vessel for autumn/winter meals. Whether you're dishing up soup, pasta bake, risotto or roasted vegetables, stoneware crockery is the perfect vessel for your food. The perfect dinnerware is more than just a place to put your food. It's the main attraction on your dining table set-up and is the perfect investment as you're approaching Christmas. Go classic with a matching set or mix and match for a quirky, rustic appeal.

Speaking of rustic? Our signature Teak Serving Board is the perfect place to host cheese boards, antipasti and brunch spreads. We love this fusion between industrial and farmhouse style, showcasing the beauty of sustainably sourced teak and the unique grain of each board. We're a firm believer that freshly baked bread is the antidote to many of life's problems and cold weather is no different. Serve up your warm loaf on a rustic board for an organic charm.
