Nika Diamond-Krendel - Paradise Row
"Add natural and earthy touch-points to your living space, such as stone, marble and leather, to add depth and ground the space in nature. Build on these elements with layered textures and organic soft furnishings, such as throws and cushions made of wool or cashmere. Finally, as the softer dappled light of autumn gives way to the short winter days, create a soft candlelit ambiance with different variations and sizes of candles and lanterns. Add a selection of coffee table books and games for good measure."

Tabara N'Diaye - La Basketry
"It’s all about embracing the warmth and coziness by swapping out lightweight summer curtains for heavier ones in earthy colours like a forest green or terracotta. Mix and match different textures like blankets, faux fur rugs and Berber cushions into every nook for an additional feeling of comfort.
Lighting play a huge part in updating a home and creating an ambiance so replace all the bulbs with softer ones, light candles and why not play around with string lights? Invest in a variety of baskets - they easily bring in warmth, texture and add functionality to any space."

Ginny Griffin & Charlotte Green - Sixty3London
"In preparation for autumn at home you can swap throws and scatter cushions on the sofa to a warmer palette. Rust, tan and gold are always cosy hues. Use interesting candle sticks as decorative accessories on a coffee or dining table to create an inviting atmosphere. Leaves such as Eucalyptus can also be used in a vase for a simple yet striking statement."
