The Autumn Trend Report Has Arrived

Here are nine mindful ways to transition your home to autumn.

Soon enough the leaves will change, temperatures will become brisk, and all things autumn will be in the air. Saying farewell to summer is never easy, but there’s something to be said about pivoting to the new season with intention and enthusiasm – especially when it comes to your home.

While the last few sun-soaked months have been all about Tomato Girl and Barbiecore, interior design trends for autumn 2023 reflect cosier sensibilities. Whether that’s swapping out your bedding for colours and materials that suit the crisp weather, or incorporating textural accents to amp up the snug vibes – large or small, a few updates can go a long way.

Ahead, nine design trends we’re embracing right now.

1. Biophilic design

Crisp autumn weather makes for comfy evenings spent indoors, but finding ways to still connect with nature is vital to a happy home and peaceful mind (particularly once daylight saving time hits). Enter: biophilic design. This trend has picked up steam in recent years and is rooted in principles that seek to link humans with the natural world through design and architecture. A few ways you can incorporate biophilic design in your space include houseplants, maximising natural light, organically shaped furniture, and water elements such as an indoor water fountain.

2. Wavy, winding shapes continue

Few trends have garnered such mass affection as the wavy furniture trend – and we get it. These winding lines complement just about any personal space and bring a dose of charm and fun to the table, whether it’s through an asymmetrical mirror or a wiggly side chair. For autumn, test drive the trend in your home with our petite table placed beside the bed or next to the sofa.

3. Warm earth tones

While not revelatory, a warm, earthy colour palette is indeed an autumn trend worth paying attention to. Not only does it transform your home into a snug oasis, it also folds in nicely with another trend that continues to be on everyone’s radar: quiet luxury. Versatile neutrals are always a crowd pleaser but if you’re interested in expanding beyond the basics, dip into rusty reds, deep greens, and tranquil blues for colourful accents that still feel grounding.

4. Statement fight fixtures

Statement lamps and light fixtures are everywhere right now, from nostalgic sconces and chandeliers to modern ceramic table lamps that resemble artwork. This autumn, spruce up your abode by rotating in a new statement light source within your most beloved and frequented spaces, such as a paper lantern pendant or our very own ceramic lamp.

5. Surrealist accents

Cultivating a personal space that replenishes your creative juices is key, which is why we love the psychedelic-inspired surrealist accents that have been swirling around. This trend can expand into many different pockets of design, from furniture and accents to lighting and artwork. A surrealist piece can also serve as a bold pop in a room or complement an energetic space full of various shapes and colours.

6. Natural materials

Tying back into the broader biophilic design, natural textures are decidedly having a moment within the industry. Rather than leaning into man-made materials such as resin furniture, go for ceramics, wood, stone, bamboo, and terracotta. And the best part of this look? Natural materials mix and match beautifully, so layer on as much texture as you please.

7. Saturated hues

Summer’s airy, whimsical aesthetic bodes well for sun-stained colour palettes and whitewashed tones, but come autumn, everyone’s moods shift toward saturated hues. Translate this to your home with simple swaps like bedding, throw pillows, and blankets. You can also change up entertaining accents like seat cushions and table linens to give your space a rich, colourful glow.

8. The imperfect gallery wall

There’s no denying the appeal of a gallery wall but lately we’ve seen a pivot toward an imperfect take on this trend. Whether that’s hanging frames asymmetrically, sticking them way up high, or lining them up on a shelf or down on the floor, this fall why not embrace a more effortless approach to showcasing your art?

9. Standout Stones

Marble! Travertine! Granite! Right now, it’s all about a statement stone. If you’re considering any sort of home renovation, look into updating something like a bathroom sink or kitchen backsplash with a standout natural material. If you’re looking for something less time-intensive, go for a bold coffee table or standalone bathtub.
