Autumn 2022 interior trends to try now

1. Eclectic looks

From a chesterfield sofa mixed with a cowhide armchair to retro wallpaper and a sleek steel and glass coffee table, we're becoming more confident to express ourselves by mixing and matching what we love rather than sticking to a singular style. The best thing about eclecticism in the home? It lets us showcase our personalities and offers the flexibility to incorporate new pieces without committing to a complete interior overhaul. Win-win.

2. Nature-inspired colour

Earth tones help make spaces feel warm and cosy, which is just what we want as we move into the cooler months. Carrying on from our appreciation of greenery inside the home, the warm browns of nature will reign supreme this season. If you already own a tan leather sofa, layer it with rich brown throws and brown cushions, and trade cool silver for complementary gold ornaments. For easy-to-incorporate touches, fill vases with autumnal stems and pampas grass.

3. Curves are here to stay

Softening the lines in your space is instantly refreshing—no wonder the trend for curved interiors is here to stay. What we're seeing now is the newest evolution in curved pieces, not just in large items such as sofas and dining tables, but in pieces with decorative qualities like rugs and side tables. To instill a sense of continuous movement and soften sharp corners, details such as pillar candles, urn vases and round table lamps offer a practical starting point.

4. Broken-plan living

As we crave more traditional spaces in the home, simple solutions to divide rooms and create more flexible use for work, rest and play are gaining popularity. To zone a living room, use floor lamps, area rugs and even decorative screens to create separate areas to suit the whole family and turn forgotten corners into something as simple as a reading nook. Modular sofas are also trending thanks to their ability to be reconfigured in numerous ways to suit your needs.

5. Artisanal textures evolve

Much like the trend for natural colours, artisanal finishes continue to be big news in the home. Reclaimed timber coffee tables to console tables suit the look, but accents as small as a stoneware vase or marble coasters with a hand-cut quality can do the trick. In terms of soft furnishings, tufted cushions deliver a tapestry feel, while fabric wall hangings and accents bring inviting visual texture to the walls.
