Our favourite social posts from this month
Throughout October, we’ve watched our customers embrace the season with beautiful home updates. But creating that autumn-ready feel doesn’t have to mean a big project – it’s often the little details that bring the most comfort. This month, it’s all about effortless updates and simple touches that make a big difference. Our community has shown just how easy it can be to achieve a luxurious, autumn-ready look. Let’s explore the beautiful ways in which they have refreshed their homes – showing that creating cosy, inviting spaces can be simple and stress-free.
Countdown to completion
Starting things off this month is this impressive speed-run from @reno_no_65, who shows just how effortless transforming a space for autumn can be. Setting herself a one-hour timer, she tackled a full bay window with the Serranda Cotton White Perfect Fit Shutter – and managed to finish with time to spare, even pausing for a quick cuppa’ before moving onto her next task.
Throughout this reel, @reno_no_65 walks her viewers through each step of the installation, showing how simple the process really is. With no specialised tools required, she clips each shutter into place with ease, demonstrating that creating a polished, premium look doesn’t have to be complicated. She highlights exactly why these shutters were the perfect choice: no tricky frames, handy measuring and fitting guides, and a stylish finish that rivals traditional shutters – all for a fraction of the cost and hassle.
This example perfectly captures how quickly your windows can be transformed for the season. In under an hour, a uPVC bay window goes from ordinary to beautifully styled, leaving plenty of time to enjoy other cosy autumn moments around the home. It’s a brilliant reminder that even a speedy update can make a big difference – effortless, elegant, and entirely achievable on your own.
Easy-click cabin
Next up, we have this charming cabin transformation from @ourstillhouse, who shows just how quick and easy it can be to refresh a space for the season.
In this reel, we’re guided through the simple installation of their new Thermocell Taupe Easy Click Honeycomb blinds – fitted perfectly to the uPVC windows and doors of the cosy cabin. The taupe fabric paired with an anthracite frame complements the surrounding windows beautifully, creating a sleek, coordinated finish that proves there’s a perfect option for every interior style.
As each blind clips into place with ease, their adorable pooch watches on patiently from outside – the cutest helper for this project! The whole process takes just a few simple steps, without the need of tools or any prior DIY know-how, leaving the cabin instantly elevated and Mr. P smiling proudly at the result.
This simple yet effective update doesn’t just enhance the look of the space; it adds comfort and practicality too. Offering privacy and thermal efficiency with its honeycomb design, the Easy Click blind helps keep the cabin cool during the summer and retain warmth throughout the colder months – ideal for creating a snug autumn retreat that’s ready to enjoy all year round.
Welcoming wooden blinds
Closing out this month’s theme, we have a stunning transformation from @hercountryhome, who shows just how easy it can be to elevate a room with the perfect window dressing.
Having explored the variety of products available, she chose the Designer Dark Walnut With Tapes Wooden Venetian blind – a timeless option that effortlessly brings elegance and charm to the room. With all fixings included and ready to fit, @hercountryhome demonstrates how simple it is to follow our step-by-step guides and achieve professional-looking results with minimal effort.
The blind instantly elevates the space, creating a room that exudes comfort, elegance, and the Mediterranean aesthetic she was aiming for. Paired with the golden autumn leaves visible outside the window, the room feels warm, inviting, and perfectly in tune with the season. Her example is a brilliant reminder that with just a few simple steps, a window can be transformed into a striking focal point that enhances both style and solace.
From the ease of sampling and selecting products, to the simplicity of fitting, this reel perfectly captures how effortless it is to bring seasonal warmth and sophistication into your home – making it ready for slow autumn mornings and nostalgic evenings alike.
