Autumn Colours and Inspirations

01 November 2011

We're head over heels for autumn here at Sofas & Stuff. A quick office poll reveals that we're loving warm woolly jumpers, excessive cups of tea (shocker), walking in the sunny-yet-frosty weather and the chance to revisit some cold weather hobbies like reading one of our specially selected books for the Sofas and Stuff Book Club.

One of the best things about autumn though has to be the amazing colours you see when the leaves change - the fiery reds, the cheerful yellows and the golden browns. Being total interior design geeks we've been getting really inspired by all the amazing colours we can see around us - check out the list below for some great accessories in a range of tasty autumn shades.

Pantone Mug, Red R16 from John Lewis
The Pantone mug is a classic that simply cannot be ignored. We chose the red but why stop at just one? Go wild and get the entire autumn palette.

Birds of a Feather surface graphic from Blik
Blik sell an amazing range of easy-to-apply graphics for your wall. We particularly like this gorgeous feather in cranberry and think it would look really striking on a white or cream wall next to a sofa in a similar shade.

Peg hooks from Habitat
These hooks are so cute! We think they'd be a great way to display your family photos in a unique and creative way. If you're a creative type it would be easy to make something similar too - either use plastic pegs or spray paint wooden ones to get the autumn shade of your choice!

Bunny rattle from Ikea
Not strictly home décor, but this bunny rattle was way too gorgeous to resist. It's super soft and the orange of the carrot is a wonderful shade too.

Yellow Kenwood Toaster from Comet
Mornings are tough enough as it is. Make yours a little brighter and a little bit more cheerful with this playful yellow toaster.
