Autumn is a time for change. The weather gets colder, leaf colours take on orange hues, days are shorter and our sartorial choices lean towards cosy. And in recent years, this spirit of change has extended beyond our wardrobes, thanks in part to the influence of home-fluencers on social media. Whilst it was once only Christmas that inspired a decorative overhaul, autumn has now staked its own claim in the world of interior design, complete with true-to-the-season textures, tones and traditions.
If there’s one word to describe autumn decor, it’s cosy. Shaggy textures, toasty colour palettes and warm lighting all help to cultivate this vibe. So, the best way to bring the season into your home without going overboard is through playing strategically with texture, hues and lighting. When married tastefully, they will make any room feel inviting, without making it feel suffocating.
One brand that celebrities and influencers turn to season-after-season for their interior overhauls is Furniture Village. A one-stop shop for all things homes, you can refurbish any room with stylish, quality pieces that you’ll want to display for years on end. Among its fans are Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan, home and garden influencing powerhouse Jessica Daines and TOWIE alumni Amy Childs.
Furniture Village has experts on hand to help guide you through your home upgrade, with styles available to shop in-store and online. So, if you’re ready to spend the dark evenings with cosy autumn vibes welcoming you home now the clocks have gone back, look no further.
We’ve curated our top nine pieces for an autumn-chic home from Furniture Village…
1/9
Heston Large Arch Mirror
Furniture Village
Editor's note
In my humble opinion, the chicest statement for autumn – and every other season – is a large arch-shaped mirror. I love this one as the combination of elegant curves and modern minimalist metal frame mean it’ll work perfectly with all décor styles, and the mirror creates the illusion of space to amplify autumnal lighting choices.

Shackleton 4 Seater Leather Chesterfield Sofa
At The Helm
Editor's note
Quintessentially British and in a timeless style, this sofa is a British classic reimagined. It’s perfect if you want to cultivate a contemporary home with touches of tradition. The leather upholstery comes in multiple hues, but my personal favourite is ‘Saddle’ for an autumnal vibe in your living room.
3/9
Aura Swivel Chair
Furniture Village
Editor's note
Oh so cosy and yet still glamorous, this modern accent chair is set to be the most fabulous addition to my home. It's ideal as a statement piece in the living room or for an intimate corner in the bedroom. With deep cushioning, exposed wooden arms and a swivel base, it’s as comfy to sit on as it looks.
4/9
Yana Rug
Furniture Village
Editor's note
Abstract and sophisticated with a cool-toned colourway that’ll pair effortlessly with nearly every other colour, what’s not to love about this rug? It has a gently undulating watercolour-inspired pattern, soft high-low pile and easy-care finish, meaning it looks and feels good under your feet.
5/9
Argenta Table Lamp
Furniture Village
Editor's note
I love this table lamp’s unique turning stem. It adds a contemporary edge to any room, but is still classic thanks to the cylindrical fabric shade on top. And whilst the base may look wooden, it is actually made from wood effect resin, so it’s much easier to clean and maintain. I’ll have it displayed proudly all year long.
6/9
Boucle Knot Cushion
Furniture Village
Editor's note
Somewhat of a modern classic, this knot cushion makes a trending statement. The fleece material is soft but durable, and I personally love the way it looks on my bed. It comes in three hues of black, ecru and ginger, all of which complement a plethora of home vibes and themes, particularly in autumn.
7/9
Cortado Wide Sideboard
Furniture Village
Editor's note
As far as I’m concerned, the quickest way to upgrade your home is a new sideboard. They have the power to transform a space – particularly this one which has a distinctive curved and fluted frame, whilst the matte ceramic top adds a touch of sophistication. Better yet, it arrives fully assembled.
8/9
Broadway Mirror
Furniture Village
Editor's note
Most of us Brits avoid turning the ‘big light’ on at all costs (me included), so this mirror is perfect for autumn… and beyond. The circular frame is adorned with crystals that sparkle when you switch on its LED lighting. I love how it cultivates a luminous ambience and altogether chic vibe.
9/9
Stockholm Coffee Table
Furniture Village
Editor's note
With smooth curves and angled legs, this retro coffee table is the perfect centrepiece in my living room. It comes in light or dark oak with a soft-sheen lacquer finish, and the handy lower shelf is perfect for stacking decorative books and autumnal trinkets.
