Best Living Room buys for Autumn

Have you put the heating on at home yet, unearthed your hot water bottle or started draping cosy faux fur throws around pretty much every surface? Yep, us too, which can only mean that autumn is on its way. We’re thinking crisp autumnal walks on blustery days, woolly sock encased feet in front of roaring fires and getting all cosy in our homes once more.  Prep your home for autumn now and you’ll reap the rewards for months to come. First up- the living room and some of the season’s best buys to go with some of the season’s hot trends.

1) Hygge + White Grid Mesh Panel. Hygge, the Danish art of creating a sanctuary of cosiness, is for us, the perfect pairing with autumn. Think of everything that you love about the season, like sinking your toes into a soft rug, reading a can’t-put-you down book by flickering candlelight and squishing on the sofa as a family to watch Bake Off. The great news is that hygge is still very much a thing for AW18, and the lounge is one of the best places to indulge. Update your lounge with items that you love, that enhance your calm, cosy autumnal sense of wellbeing like the White Grid Mesh Panel. We love the idea of the mesh weaved with fairy lights on your mantelpiece or displaying your hygge aspirations for the season on the wall.

2) Metallic + Narrow Chrome Wire Shelving Unit. Metallic colours are bang on trend for AW18 and they can look gorgeous in your lounge this autumn. Crown has a range of metallic emulsion paints suitable for walls. Don’t be afraid to mix your metals. We love the idea of a golden feature wall (or even walls!) with silver furniture like the silver metallic Narrow Chrome Wire Shelving Unit. Or, take the silver wire shelving unit and heap it with golden accessories. Old mirrors and side tables can look really effective painted with gold furniture paint to give a vintage luxe feel.

3) Monochrome + White Adjustable Shelving. Monochrome is a really smart statement look that’s going to be huge this season, and it’s also a look that is really liveable for your autumn lounge update. If you have a black fire, consider painting the wooden surround bright white. Fit some White Adjustable Shelving and use it to display black framed prints of your family and friends. And for that cosy underfoot feeling, add a black and white rug. The Rug Seller has a geometric design which is bold enough to tie the monochrome trend together.

4) Blue + Glass Shelving. Everyone is loving blue for AW18 and this is a colour that works so well in the lounge. The designer’s favourite shade for autumn though is undoubtedly navy. Think aged leather sofas against deep navy walls, luxurious navy curtains pooling onto plush cream carpets and plump navy cushions. Little Green has the perfect Royal Navy paint colour for your living room walls. With all that delicious blue, keep accessories minimal and contemporary with Glass Shelving.

5) Florals + Oak Shelving. We’re all for flowers here at Urbablogg, and if the outdoor variety are dormant it’s time to bring flowers inside and embrace the floral trend for autumn. Make this look work with overstuffed sofas covered in a floral print or bold floral wallpaper. Graham & Brown has a huge range of bold floral wallpapers (we love Chelsea Fuschia!). This is definitely a pretty look so it needs pairing with the right home accessories and natural woods are ideal. The Oak Shelving Range has plenty of shelving sizes and configurations to get your lounge looking inviting for autumn.
