As the days get shorter and long balmy evenings give way to early nightfall and cosy evenings by the fire, we invariably turn our attention to the bedroom. Where summer was a symphony of light cotton layers and an ever-present fan, come autumn, this sanctuary comes into its own. We love to ensure our bed is the perfect place to curl up with a book before sleep and cosy enough to keep up warm all through winter. Here are our top tips in the carefully honed art of the autumn bed.
1 Layer up Sheets, duvets, quilts, throws - the more the merrier as the mercury plummets. The trick is to think about where layers start and end - try one quilt pulled up and a second fold at the end of the bed. Our double-sided quilts are perfect to add pattern, colour and detail to the layers. |

2 Colour in Consider your colour palette - do you like your bedroom bold and bright for a year-round summer mood, or soft and serene for cosier evenings? Then select fabrics and prints which work with your mood - our double sided cushions are a great way to speedily update a look. 3 Texture, texture, texture Opt for warmer textures during the colder months. As well as digging out your winter duvet, we love to introduce heavier textures - jacquard cushions are a great addition, as well as a bedroom rug to warm chilly morning feet. |

4 Bedside styling When it comes to a bedside table we’re all about mixing practical with pretty. We love a statement pot - and will keep jewellery safe overnight. A pretty decorative tray is the perfect place for a glass of water and your latest read.

5 Well cushioned We’re always championing the styling power of a pile of cushions, and for your autumn bed they’re a fast-track to ultimate comfort. Whether you opt for an artful pile to sink into, or a carefully arranged set up, we recommend an odd number, perfectly plumped. 6 Go oversized On the subject of cushions... an oversized oblong is a great way to pull the look together - lay across the front of your stack by day it will also double as a great reading prop come evening. |

7. Up the wall Think carefully about the wall arrangement above your bed. We love a feature wall - perhaps a series of pine needle baskets, or a montage of mirrors, will tie a scheme together and draw the eye upwards. |
