As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, there’s something special about autumn that makes us want to cosy up and make our homes feel warmer, more welcoming, and beautifully seasonal.
This year, our design expert, Aimee, is sharing her top tips to refresh your home’s look for autumn – starting right at the front door.
Whether you’re dreaming of rich woodgrain finishes, energy-saving windows, or just a few quick styling ideas to boost your kerb appeal, this guide will help you welcome the new season in style.
Why Autumn is the perfect time for a home refresh
‘Autumn is one of the best seasons to rethink your home’s style,’ says Aimee, who shares design inspiration across our Scottish showrooms. ‘The light is softer, the colours outdoors are stunning, and it’s a great opportunity to bring more texture, warmth, and personality into your space’
And it’s not just about looks. With energy bills front of mind for many families, autumn is also a smart time to upgrade to new windows and doors – keeping heat in and draughts out as the weather cools.
Our favourite Autumn home trends of 2025
Inspired by nature, comfort and energy efficiency, these are Aimee’s top styling tips this season:
- Warm woodgrain finishes
Natural textures are having a moment. Think rich oak or deep rosewood front doors with black or brass hardware. They add depth and character while blending beautifully with autumn’s colour palette.
- Light-maximising windows
With less daylight, now’s the time to make the most of natural light indoors. Choose slimline window frames, like the Lorimer range, and high-performance glazing that keeps the warmth in without compromising on brightness.
- Layered entrance styling
Create a welcoming first impression with seasonal touches – a woven doormat, a planter with heather or ornamental kale, and a lantern or two by the doorstep.
