It’s that time again: the leaves are turning orange, your jumpers are coming out of storage, and you’ve got the itch to start your annual Gilmore Girls rewatch. It can only be autumn.

1. Vintage Inspired Interiors 

According to Pinterest’s autumn trend report, searches for “vintage autumn aesthetic” are up an incredible 1,074%, setting this up as a defining style for the season, and we can see why. The retro rustic look is an autumnal dream; picture antique wooden bookshelves, broken in leather armchairs, plush rugs, and crackling fireplaces. 

Making this look your own is all about tapping into your own nostalgia. Think back to your grandma’s living room or your favourite cosy romcom. Your space should feel personal, comfortable, and most importantly, lived in. From midcentury modern chic to vintage cottage vibes, the past is a perfect place to look for style inspiration.

2. Comfortable, Quiet Luxury

Casual, comfortable minimalism embraces simplicity without sacrificing warmth. Inspired by sensorial design, it’s about surrounding yourself with quality pieces that soothe both visually and physically by exploring texture and calming colour palettes. Think chunky knits, natural woods, linen, and shaggy rugs. This is the style for you if you like a neutral, elegant look that is still comforting and inviting.

3. Art Deco Glamour 

Pinterest declares that Art Deco is back! This revival can be seen in the soaring search rates for “art deco vintage” (up 805%) and “art deco interior 1920s vintage” (up 745%). In this trend, we’re seeing a celebration of retro glamour with a modern twist through opulent yet curated decor choices.

For your colour palette, look towards jewel tones like burgundy, emerald, and sapphire, paired with the sleek shine of chrome and the indulgence of velvet. It wouldn’t be Art Deco without geometric shapes, from bold rug patterns to statement wallpaper. We’re loving the drama and elegance of this look.

4. Eclectic Maximalism 

Maximalism took over our social feeds last year, and we don’t see it going anywhere. Cosy eclectic is the particular flavour of maximalism we’re seeing this season. Inspired by everyone’s favourite comfort shows and films, intentional clutter is all about collecting and displaying the things that bring us joy and make our space ours.

Think of Lorelai’s house in Gilmore Girls, Kathleen Kelly’s New York apartment in You’ve Got Mail, and Iris’s cottage in The Holiday. Fill your rooms with books, mugs, blankets, rugs, and trinkets! Embrace the clutter and make your space your home.

5. Cosy Corners 

One of our favourite trends is creating cosy corners, perfect for relaxing and spending time reading, crocheting, or simply enjoying a quiet moment. We love how versatile and personal they are. No matter the size of your space or your style tastes, you can create a dreamy cosy corner, whether it’s a big beanbag paired with a round rug, an armchair you can’t wait to sink into, or a stunning window seat piled high with cushions.

6. Natural & Nostalgic Colours 

This autumn’s colour story is rooted in nature, but with a modern shift that feels both contemporary and nostalgic. Traditional autumnal shades of orange, green, and brown are reimagined in softer, more versatile tones, creating palettes that are calming yet full of character.

Butter yellow brings a gentle warmth, while rust orange and terracotta add depth and richness. Sage green offers serenity, cocoa brown grounds the look, and unexpected accents of powder blue lift the palette with freshness. Together, these hues form a cosy yet refined collection that works beautifully across interiors, providing endless opportunities for styling.

7. Patterns on Patterns 

With the recent rise of maximalism, eclectic spaces, and vintage inspirations, we've seen more patterns being incorporated into decor. Now, it just wouldn't be autumn without checked patterns, whether you prefer a more classic plaid or a more modern take on checks, it is a staple of the season. Alongside this, we’re seeing the return of classic stripes and vintage florals, both of which nod to nostalgia while feeling fresh in today’s spaces.

Many people find exploring patterns daunting, but once you do, it opens up a whole world of interior design to play with. When it comes to patterns, you can opt for a statement pop in your wallpaper, sofa, or rug, making it the focal point of the room.

However, this season we're seeing lots of designers embracing the art of mixing and layering different patterns to create an interesting and expressive space. Explore our guide on how to mix and clash patterns and get inspired to try it in your home.
