IS YOUR HOME AUTUMN READY?

Autumn Ready Interiors Blog

As colder and darker evenings approach, we are naturally driven to stay indoors to keep warm. There is no time like the present to make our homes autumn-ready to lift our spirits. Interior touches can be added in small doses to all rooms to make them inviting and comforting.

Here are my recommendations on how to get Autumn-ready.

SOFT LIVING

Warm materials give a cosy feeling. Add a heavier throw to settees and beds to keep the chill away. Scatter new cushions in Autumnal colours; red-orange remains the on-trend colour for this season.

DELIGHT YOUR SENSES

Scented candles remain a favourite household staple throughout the year. Change up your candles and delight your senses with scents such as pumpkin, apple, cinnamon and clove.

AMBIENT LIGHTING

Add lower levels of lighting to your rooms. I love table lamps because they make a home feel ‘homely.’ Switch on those lamps for ultimate ambience and relaxation.

ACCESSORISE WITH THE NEW SEASON

The new season brings a whole heap of accessories in autumnal colours and textures. Add vases with faux foliage to bring the outside in, rugs to give warmth underfoot or go large and add a bench to your mudroom to remove those muddy boots comfortably! Small changes will make a big difference to your mood.

MAKE THE MOST OF SEASONAL SQUASH!

Pumpkins are everywhere at this time of the year. Make a spicy pumpkin soup with a toasted seed topping and you are on your way to a healthier Autumn!

“TESTIMONIALS

Possibly the best experience ever! I asked Salima to design my newly renovated house with my existing furniture which was not an easy task at all. The combination of French heirlooms and traditional English furniture of different textures, finishes and designs were brought together in the most sympathetic and beautiful manner by this talented and thoughtful person. People coming to visit since have all commented on the sensitive and creative way in which she has captured the essence of our family turning the house into a comfortable, warm and welcoming home. I would recommend using the dressing service for any season, event or refurb. Salima will invigorate and breathe life into your home.”

“Quite recently our company (painting and decorating contractors) were asked by our client to provide an interior and furnishing designer to assist on a very large, seven bedroomed property, standing in its own grounds. We recommended Salima Mulji for this project and found that the quality of her design fitted the ambience of this project and also kept pace with the rigours of the decorating programme. Should you use Salima we are sure you would not be disappointed with the outcome, very professional.”
— A Scott, M.D. Keydec Decorators Ltd
“I stumbled across Salima’s page on Instagram. She had an offer of a 90-minute home makeover which was reasonably priced compared to others in the market. I am so pleased with my 90-minute session, Salima is fantastic.
She listened to exactly what I wanted, she didn’t just agree to everything I said but explained how I can make the space better for me and my family. She helped me to understand how to combine colours and furniture.
Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to refresh or design their home.”

“Salima helped us design our guest lounge. We didn’t know where to start! She carefully listened to our requirements and asked us many questions at the start to ensure she was able to meet our needs. Very quickly she produced several designs and costs associated with all items. This helped us focus on what we liked and source similar products. We were very pleased with Salima’s input and availability during the whole process.”
— Mr & Mrs Mulji
“Salima is lovely to work with. She really takes the time to understand your vision and your requirements. Salima has a good eye for the finer details and is not shy of making bold recommendations to give it the wow factor. Salima helped me style a feature wall beautifully and it’s something I definitely couldn’t have managed without her input and level of expertise. I’d 100% recommend Salima, she’s absolutely lovely to work with.”
— Mrs Chauhan
“Being an electrical contractor I first met Salima on a very big project. Since then I’ve worked alongside Salima on more projects. She is very good at organising the project with 100% dedication and detail to make sure all trades meet their deadlines. And Salima’s interior designs never stop to amaze me, the quality of work she turns out. The customer’s face never fails to make me smile when they see what she has achieved.”
