Simply Seasonal: Autumn Decorating

As much as it pains me that summer has now finished and the nights are drawing in earlier and earlier, I also enjoy the glorious display of nature that comes with autumn. The colours of autumn foliage, heather, berries, conkers and pumpkins are all reflected in autumn decorating.

Interiors can be made cosy by using additional blankets and throws, cushions, log fires (if you are lucky enough to have a working fireplace or wood burner) and candles.

Owl motives are particularly on trend at the moment and they look particularly great as candle holders:

You don't however, have to use an 'autumn colour scheme' and can still bring autumn touches to your home, using non-traditional colours. I particularly like how this mantelpiece is decorated in muted blues and white:

Happy decorating!
