It can only mean one thing … Autumn, is that you?</p> <p>As summer bows out and hands the reins over for another year, we can’t help but find something refreshing and rejuvenating about it (even if it is just for some slight reassurance that we are actually making it through 2020, bit by bit).</p> <p>A new season can mean a new start – especially for our homes, which have taken more than their usual share of wear and tear this year. So, from the cushions that you’re sick of the sight of, to the evening-darkened rooms that are missing the summer nights – we’ve pulled together some top tips to transition your summer spaces into cosy, Autumn sanctuaries.</p> <p></p> </div> </div> <!-- Section 1 END--><!-- Section 2 START--> <!-- Section 3 END--> <section class="text-center pt-5 ck-blog"> <div class="container"> <div class="main-articles"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6"><img alt="Dried flowers- Cath Kidston" src="https://www.cathkidston.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-ckidst-content-global/default/dw73da82c9/blog/2020/October/Update_Your_Home_Autumn_Blogpost_flowers.jpg" title="" /></div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6 my-auto"> <div class="main-articles-copy pt-3"> <h6>TIP ONE – BRING IN SOME LIFE</h6> <div class="text pt-4"> <p>As we start to spend more time indoors, keeping in touch with nature is a sure way to lift your space (and your mood). This can be plants, which obviously double up as fresh air-givers (ideal for when the heating kicks on), fresh flowers or … if you struggle to keep green things alive (guilty), why not invest in some dried flower arrangements.

True story. Unsurprisingly, we vote for brave investments in colour and print, with seasonal tones as accents. We’ve even been known to indulge in a cushion cycle, where we rotate our favourite cushions seasonally to rediscover them the next year. Throw some throws and blankets in there (the more texture, the better), draped over arms or the backs of the sofa, and you’re ready for cosy nights curled up with a hot chocolate and a good film.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6 order-1 order-sm-0"><img alt="Button spot cushion and floral bedding - Cath Kidston" src="https://www.cathkidston.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-ckidst-content-global/default/dwe51df3e5/blog/2020/October/Update_Your_Home_Autumn_Blogpost_cushions.jpg" title="" /></div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="text-center pt-5 ck-blog"> <div class="container"> <div class="main-articles"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6"><img alt="Floral Candles - Cath Kidston" src="https://www.cathkidston.com/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-ckidst-content-global/default/dw273829bd/blog/2020/October/Update_Your_Home_Autumn_Blogpost_candle.jpg" title="" /></div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6 my-auto"> <div class="main-articles-copy pt-3"> <h6>TIP THREE – SCENTS</h6> <div class="text pt-4"> <p>Think about switching out your <a href="https://www.cathkidston.com/en-gb/beauty/fragrance/" target="_blank">candles and diffusers</a> from light, fruity smells to more musky, spicy ones and watch how it transitions your home into autumn for you.

We recommend introducing some deep, rich shades with a slight pop of colour.

For Autumn, we upgrade ourselves to big, chunky Stanley mugs. They hold about half a litre of caffeine (almost enough to start the day with), and are a perfectly cradle-able shape.
