Monica B. Welburn-Leggett (@monicabeatrice), lifestyle influencer and editor at The Elgin Avenue, selects her top ten interior pieces to create a cosy home for her favourite season, autumn. Her love for the leafy season is mirrored throughout her own home, which includes mixing textures, soft furnishings and amber lighting.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Though every season has its own merits, there is something uniquely rich and cosy about autumn.
It is a time to refocus on your home. To make it all the more welcoming for cosy nights in and long languid weekends. If you aren’t already thinking about it, may I suggest pouring some extra love and energy into your home?
Be it textured cushion covers, berber-style rugs, vases, dinnerware, you name it! La Redoute’s homeware looks so much more luxurious than its purse-friendly price tag.
For my fellow autumn-lovers, I’ve created an edit of 10 La Redoute homeware items I love for creating a truly cosy home for the amber-leaf season. Enjoy!
Cosy home decor for autumn - My Top 10 La Redoute pieces
Amoris brass and smoked glass floor lamp: Curling up with a great book is synonymous with au-tumn for me. A floor lamp allows you to create a reading ‘nook’ wherever you like in your home. This one is elegant and timeless.
Parfeto cotton throw: I have this throw at home on my own bed and love how it adds weight for ex-tra cosiness. Texture also creates a feeling of warmth, and the neutral colour goes with most decor.
Alphi woolen blanket: A sumptuous rich wool blanket, perfect for curling up with on the sofa. I have a big basket next to my sofa which I keep piled high with warm blankets. Whenever I want to get cosy I reach for one to wrap up in. Speaking of which . . .
Armaure kubu rattan storage basket: The perfect home for your autumn blankets.
Panama fringed cotton cushion cover in blush pink: Cushions, cushions and more cushions! If you want to up the cosy factor in your home, adding cushions to your sofa, chairs, benches and bed is a quick and inexpensive way to do so.
Domitian hand-embroidered cushion cover in powder pink: Layer this pretty cushion alongside the deeper blush pink. Tonal hues create a cohesive look, whilst layers make a space feel warmer and more inviting.
Odorie linen and viscose cushion in powder pink: I like to ‘anchor’ my sofas with a middle cushion, this one in soft linen and viscose is the perfect finishing touch to a tonal cushion display.
Izolia demijohn glass vase in amber: Earthy colours are perfect for autumn. Look out for amber pieces like this beautiful glass vase, which would look stunning styled with pampas grass plumes.
Metal tealight candle holders: Nothing sets an autumnal vibe quite like the glow of candles. This duo of candle jars can be styled together for impact, or distributed throughout a room for little pools of glowing light.
Lumi metal lantern: This is a statement lantern which would look amazing aside a fireplace, or styled next to the metal candle jars above.
