Interiors expert at Tapi Carpets & Floors has shared her tips on how to incorporate the pink autumn trend into your home

Interiors tend to mirror the environment, and as nature is more colourful in summer, people naturally want their homes to be vibrant. After a summer of radiant tones, we’re turning to a calmer and slower pace of living for autumn, embracing cosiness and simplicity.

The pink autumn trend in interior design is gaining popularity, bringing warmth and elegance to décor. This trend showcases the versatile colour being embraced in various shades, from soft blush pastels to richer tones like raspberry and fuchsia.

With searches for ‘pink autumn’ up by +1,300% in the past three months, many are looking for ways to introduce the popular shades. Interior trends expert at Tapi Carpets & Floors, Johanna Constantinou, has shared her tips on how to bring the Pink Autumn trend to life in your home.

1. Textural layering

By combining soft blush tones with rich fabrics and tactile finishes, spaces instantly feel inviting. Think of pairing plush cushions with chunky knit throws or mixing smooth ceramic vases with woven rugs and natural wood furniture. These layers of texture, in varying shades of pink, make the room feel more dynamic. The contrast between soft, plush materials and more rugged, organic textures brings balance, transforming the space into a harmonious autumn theme.

2. Earthy pink tones

Earthy pink tones bring warmth, softness, and a natural, grounded feel to spaces. These pinks, often featuring undertones of terracotta, clay, or blush, help create a cosy atmosphere that aligns beautifully with the season’s changing hues. When paired with warm neutrals and other earthy colours like soft browns and muted greens, these tones can transform any room into a haven. 

In flooring, carpets in earthy pinks or warm shades offer comfort while enhancing the space with their gentle, natural appeal.

3. Natural and metallic accents 

Earthy pinks pair seamlessly with metallic finishes like gold, rose gold, copper, and brass, bringing in a touch of luxury. Metallic accents don’t have to overwhelm the design; even subtle touches, such as metallic cabinet handles, light fixtures, or decorative elements like vases and mirrors, can add dimension and elegance. Combining these with natural textures like wooden or stone-effect flooring provides a balanced contrast, grounding the space while still maintaining sophistication.

4. Botanical and floral motifs

Botanical and floral motifs evoke the beauty of nature while complementing the warmth of pink tones. This season, look for these motifs in wallpapers, textiles, and flooring, where floral patterns bring softness and elegance to the space. Combining floral elements with earthy pinks creates a harmonious, nature-inspired feel that’s both calming and sophisticated. Carpets with intricate floral details or soft pastel patterns are ideal for creating that perfect autumnal atmosphere, seamlessly blending nature into your decor. Introducing floral designs through rugs or feature walls can add a modern twist, making them a focal point in the room. 

5. Soft textures and fabrics

Tactile materials like plush carpets, velvet cushions, and knitted throws enhance the comfort of your space. Carpets in shades of blush or muted pink, particularly those with a deep pile such as Saxony or wool, can create an indulgent softness underfoot. You can also introduce fabrics like cotton or linen in your bed linens and upholstered furniture to create a relaxed yet stylish autumnal vibe.
