Add seasonal shades of chocolate and caramel to bring autumn inside year-round

After the glorious greens and blues of a British Summer, the leaves of trees and shrubs start to become golden, heralding the incoming of the autumn colours.  You can’t help but be dazzled by the variety of mellow colours like yellow, orange and gold, a display that’s especially legendary in parts of the country.

If autumnal colours make your heart sing all-year-round, look to golden hues like honey and pumpkin, or even a caramel colour for your interior walls. Try recreating the autumnal colour combinations of golds and reds by pairing warm yellows and oranges with neutrals like malt chocolate or auburn to balance out the vibrancy of the lighter shades.

Natural fibres like woods and rattan will keep the autumnal theme throughout by adding those earthy elements you expect to find while foraging in the great outdoors. If you keep the lighting dim and low, you can recreate the dipping evening glow that British autumnal afternoons bring. Paired with elemental greens and blues in the furnishings, you can replicate the colourful season all year-round.
