We’ve turned a corner with the seasons, as temperatures dip and lattes dashed with pumpkin spice reappear on the menu of a popular coffee chain.
Soon we’ll be donning knits and ankle boots for the full look – so there’s no real reason to leave the house out of our seasonal transformations. Beyond traditional autumn hues of mustard and burgundy, and cosy accents like throws and cushions, the season’s rustic details span a wider colour and texture spectrum, extending to accessories and centrepieces around the house.
To help you create that autumnal vibe, we’ve rounded up a few fall-inspired touches that can be easily added in or switched out with existing pieces around the home. Read on for ideas.
'The Five Seasons' marks Alessi's first venture into home fragrances, with scents corresponding to the seasons – candles certainly apt for the first of autumn. Consider 'Grrr' and its notes of incense with spicy nutmeg, a woody and smoky number concocted with this cosy season in mind.

Luxury florist Ellermann's recent collection of blooms easily make for centrepieces on any surface, from mantles to coffee tables and dining tables. The orange agate-centred bouquets of burgundy and pink create an attractive alternative to mustards and oranges, and are available in four sizes (small to extra large).

Down to the smallest details, Marimekko's chic designs never fail to create interest – as in this patterned tray with geometric illustrations in navy, hazeulnut and deep teal.

Alessi's fragrance collection, created in collaboration with designer Marcel Wanders, also includes these gorgeous leaf diffusers, available in a range of styles. Cut out from mahogany and fixed on a rounded porcelain bowl, the diffusers equally make for stylish accent pieces in a room – in addition to making it smell good.

For a bolder take on soft, cosy details, this cushion from IKEA's recent Självständig collection injects a touch of fun and quirk – in a notch above mustard.

Best with a mug of cinnamon-sprinkled hot cocoa, throws and blankets are the perfect cool weather accessory, whether draped on the couch or folded by the work desk.
