It’s that time of year again when we start to winterproof our homes for the cooler months, ensuring they are both visually warming and cosy.

Forming a cocooning room starts at your window. Add charm with pretty autumnal prints, or alternatively layer up with a functional duo of window treatments. There’s a wealth of simple updates you can make to ease into the new season. Dive in below to see some of our favourite autumnal schemes, and how we recommend you prepare your space for the colder seasons ahead.

Create a Snug Feel by Layering up at Your Window

Not only should your home look inviting, but it should also be effective at beating the cold. Double dress your window using blinds and curtains for an effective way of keeping the heat in.

Use the versatile slats of venetian blinds for an effective solution of light and heat control. Introduce eye-catching designs and sumptuous textures through drapery alongside your blind. Curtains are ideal for sealing gaps along the side of your blind, too, increasing its effectiveness of keeping your space insulated. Alternatively, combine a Roman blind and curtain for a cosier feel.

Coordinate your Blind and Décor for Cohesion

Choose a conversational design for your window treatment and use this as the base of your interior style.

Give a subtle nod to nature with a Roman blind or drapery in whimsical scenes of flora or fauna. Alternatively, take the autumnal theme literally with an uplifting roller blind in auburn leaf prints. Then, choose colourways featured in your blind or curtain and present them around the room through other soft furnishings and accessories, such as scatter cushions or throws.

Take a Look at Some of our Favourite Seasonal Palettes for Inspiration

Whether you want to subtly allude to the trend for cosy décor or create an immersive space, we’ve rounded up a selection of our favourite colour schemes.

For a pared back look, combine lighter tones of linen and jute with on-trend brown hues. Alternatively, richer colours such as auburn and copper are quintessentially autumnal, so use these for a true nod to the changing seasons. Deep red colourways create sophisticated spaces that invite and cocoon you in throughout the cooler months.
