Create the Perfect Cosy Oasis: How to Get Your Bedroom Autumn Ready
As the air cools and the leaves start to change, there’s been a sharp rise in interest in seasonal home makeovers, with searches for “autumn aesthetic” on Pinterest up 200% since last month. This growing trend shows that homeowners are embracing the concept of an “Autumn Bedding Refresh” to transform their sleeping spaces into cosy, seasonal sanctuaries.
On TikTok, hashtags like #bedroomrefresh, #autumnvibes, and #bedding are also gaining momentum, with thousands of creative videos showcasing how to make your bedroom a snug retreat ready for the colder months. From layering textures to adding warm tones, the trend is all about turning your space into a stylish, autumnal haven.
In light of this, M&S has shared with us some of their tips to effortlessly replicate these cosy bedroom makeovers. Whether you’re adding plush throws, textured blankets, or swapping to a seasonally appropriate duvet, M&S offers the perfect blend of comfort and style to help you create an inviting bedroom sanctuary this autumn.
Key trends to incorporate into your bedroom refresh
Introduce warm autumnal colours – rich tones like burnt orange, deep reds and earthy neutrals are dominating this season’s bedding trends. The Cotton Rich Duvet Cover in Clay or Rich Amber beautifully captures these hues, adding warmth and style to any bedroom.
Layering textures for cosiness– from chunky knitted blankets to soft velvet cushions, layering different textures is key to achieving that cosy autumn vibe. The M&S Collection Fleece Checked Throw brings both comfort and style with its rich texture.
Add ambient lighting: Warm lighting can really transform a space and make it feel more inviting. Consider bedside lamps or fairy lights for a soft glow. Opt for a table lamp or fairy lights for this affect. For a natural candlelit ambiance, the new M&S x Kelly Hoppen Curved Pillar Candle Holder is an excellent choice.
Consider a new rug: A rug underfoot adds both warmth and texture to your bedroom. Choose rich tones or natural textures to complement your bedding. The Asiatic Noah Pure Wool Rug has the perfect natural texture that will pair well with earthy tones.
Choose the right duvet tog: As temperatures drop, it’s also time to think about switching your duvet to a higher tog rating for added warmth. Karen Thomas, Head of Design at Marks and Spencer says “the tog rating indicates how a duvet retains heat – the higher the tog, the warmer you will be when you’re snuggled beneath it. As such, it’s important to consider tog rating when purchasing a duvet – particularly if you’re planning on using it all year round. Some may prefer to have two duvets on hand, or instead own one and pair it with an extra blanket when the weather gets cooler. At M&S, we also offer an All Seasons duvet, a 3-in-1 combination of our 4.5 and 9 tog duvets that can be attached together for the cold winter months and separated for the summer ones.”
