Perfect Pumpkin

Incorporating pumpkin colours into interior design can add warmth and vibrancy to any space.

The rich, earthy tones of pumpkin evoke feelings of cosiness and comfort, making them an excellent choice for creating a welcoming atmosphere in a room. Whether used as an accent colour in throw pillows, curtains, or wall art, or as the dominant shade in upholstery or wall paint, pumpkin hues bring a sense of energy and creativity to a space. 

These colours are particularly effective during the fall season, as they echo the changing leaves and harvest time, but they can also be a year-round choice to infuse a room with a touch of nature’s beauty. Pairing pumpkin colours with neutrals like creams, greys, or browns can help balance the palette and create a harmonious, stylish interior design that embraces the essence of autumn all year long.

Transformative terracotta

Adding terracotta colours into interior design can infuse any space with a timeless, rustic charm that effortlessly bridges the gap between tradition and modernity.

Terracotta, with its warm, earthy tones reminiscent of baked clay, adds depth and character to any room. It evokes a Mediterranean or southwestern feel, bringing to mind the sun-drenched landscapes of Tuscany or the adobe structures of the American Southwest. 

Terracotta shades can be applied in various ways, from wall paints and tiles to furniture and decor accents, creating a cosy, welcoming ambiance.

When paired with complementary hues such as sage greens, muted blues, or soft creams, terracotta exudes a sense of tranquillity and elegance. This versatile colour palette is ideal for those seeking to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere with a touch of rustic sophistication.

Lovely lattes 

Latte tones embrace a broad variety of neutral colours that mirror the diverse shades of coffee with milky whites. These tones typically range from soft beiges and warm taupes to earthy browns.

What makes latte tones so appealing is their ability to create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere while maintaining a sense of sophistication and culture.

Latte tones immediately immerse a space with cosy ease, conjuring the sensation of being cocooned in a soft, warm blanket or indulging in a comforting cup of coffee on a crisp morning. Their natural charm makes these colours ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and reading corners, important havens of relaxation and well-being. For something a little richer and equally seasonal, the caramel browns and reds of toffee apples also offer plenty of interior design inspiration. 

What are autumn spice shades?

Autumn spice shades cover a fabulous selection of colours, shades and finishes. With tones of orange, brown and rich creamy oatmeals, these colours perfectly exemplify the season they’re named after. 

Adding autumn spice to your interior design is guaranteed to make the increased time indoors hiding from the cold a cosy pleasure! This is the season of cinnamon buns, pumpkin lattes and other comfort foods and drinks, and from these autumnal treats you can find a wealth of interior design inspiration. 

These are but a few of our favourite autumn spice shades with some tips for how to use them to transform your decor into a comfy cocoon!
