Pop blooms in buckets

Gather armfuls of late-blooming flowers and branches laden with berries and autumn leaves.

Cut to varying heights and display in a vintage bucket. A panel of decorative wallpaper adds an interesting backdrop.

Autumn entertaining

For a relaxed effect, throw a tablecloth across the middle of your table, leaving it to fall loosely on either side. Mix terracotta tableware and smart black cutlery, plus plenty of candles.

Make an entrance

A soft leather armchair in the hallway is the perfect spot to take off (or put on) your boots. It's also a great way to make a feature of an area that's often overlooked.

Add a hook rack for coats and hats, and a vintage side table with a seasonal display to complete the eclectic effect.

Lit by nature

Place rustic jugs brimming with blooms in front of a window to fully appreciate their eye-catching silhouettes. Use a variety of interesting stems: single large-headed flowers, leaves, berries and even grasses. Try a little bracken, too.

Fireside stories

Vintage plaid, worn woods, terracotta and metallic finishes all work exceptionally well together in living rooms. A white backdrop gives the whole scheme a Nordic simplicity, while a woodburning stove and the twinkle of candlelight add more warmth.

Cosy up

Bring warmth to an all-white bedroom with layers of richly coloured linen in terracotta, rust and pink.

For extra luxury and comfort, add vintage-style cushions in florals and leaf patterns, plus layers of throws topped with a sheepskin.

Dried flowers

Run candles down the centre of the table, along the mantelpiece or windowsill, interspersed with delicate dried flowers and branches of turning leaves in bottle vases.
