Autumnal Colours Bring the Tasteful Warmth of Spice


As the evenings begin to draw in and the summer fruits ripen on the trees, colours mellow from vibrant summer pinks and greens to the warm hues of russet and gold. Sumptuous textures and engaging designs mean fabrics this season are comforting and confident. 

Many of the russet hues of Autumn are named after spices - and rightly so - they bring warmth with their tasteful style. In this article we look at how a bedroom can look mellow in chantreuse;  a funky spice pattern brings autumnal style to a retro living room and how burnt orange can be used in a traditional living room to bring comfort and style.

Inspired by French Liqueur - Chantreuse 



   

 This bedroom uses a chair in the colour Chantreuse with browns and beige to give a clean modern look. A made-to-measure eyelet curtain reaches elegantly to the ground, providing the perfect backdrop for the main feature - a large bed.

Chantreuse is the name of a French liqueur which is actually a yellow-apple green.  Made up of 50% yellow and 50% green, the colour Chantreuse sits beautifully with autumnal colours.

Spice up your life!



Featuring the colour spice - this funky fabric called Fjord Ferle gives a really uplifting autumnal ambiance to any living room. Other similar fabrics in colours such as Cayenne, Paprika and Cinnamon continue the spiced theme.
