Autumn changes the way we enjoy our homes. Lamps come on a little earlier, dinners linger around the table and a favourite corner becomes the place to settle with a book. Thoughtfully chosen furniture, richer colours and soft layers can make these everyday moments feel especially inviting.

Start with the pieces you use most: a beautiful dining table, comfortable seating and storage that makes a room work beautifully. Then bring in olive green, chocolate and autumnal tones through upholstery and textiles, allowing the warmth and grain of weathered oak to tie everything together.

01 / Make time for the table

A dining room made for memorable moments

A beautiful table gives the room its centre of gravity. The Belmont Oval Dining Table brings softly curved lines and the character of weathered oak to long lunches, family suppers and evenings that carry on well after the plates have been cleared.

Its oak top and twin pedestal supports give it a substantial presence. Keep the surrounding styling relaxed: leave some of the grain on show, choose comfortable upholstered chairs and let a few considered details set the mood.

Before choosing your chairs: measure the space around the table as well as the table itself. Allow room to pull chairs out comfortably and keep the route through the room clear.

02 / Style with purpose

Give storage a place in the story

The Small Belmont Weathered Oak Sideboard brings the same beautifully textured oak into a dining room, hallway or living space. Its three drawers and cupboard storage offer a home for the pieces you want close to hand, from table linens to your dinner service.

At 118cm wide, it creates a useful surface for seasonal styling and is also available in a larger size. Keep the arrangement balanced, we always recommend styling your home accessories in threes.

The Witney Lamp is the perfect choice to cast some light across your new piece of furniture.

03 / Settle into the season

Make comfort the centrepiece

An ottoman changes the feel of a seating area. Place it within easy reach of the sofa and it becomes somewhere to rest your feet, set down a tray or gather around with friends. The Petit Royale Ottoman combines a deep-buttoned velvet top with a weathered oak frame and a practical lower shelf.

Choose olive green to echo the dining chairs and carry a quiet thread of colour between rooms. If you would like a warmer accent in the living room, the rust velvet version brings a rich note alongside neutral upholstery and oak.

A practical styling idea: use a tray for everyday essentials, keep favourite books on the lower shelf and leave part of the upholstered top free. Check the space between the ottoman and sofa so the room still feels easy to move through.

04 / Add softness and depth

Layers you will reach for every evening

The best autumn layers are as lovely to use as they are to look at. Drape the Raffles Throw in Chocolate over a sofa arm or the end of a chair, with enough fabric loose to pick up when the evening cools. Its soft faux rabbit texture brings a different finish to velvet upholstery and cotton cushions.

Build a cushion arrangement around a small group of colours rather than matching every piece. Leave some of the sofa visible and resist filling every corner. A few well-chosen cushions and one generous throw will create a setting that feels inviting and easy to live with.

05 / Finish with a few thoughtful details

A table that feels warm and welcoming

Let the furniture lead and use accessories to draw the setting together. Carry olive onto the dining table with fringed placemats and cotton napkins, then add a little height and texture through candle holders or a sculptural vase.

Keep the centre of the table low enough for easy conversation and leave room for serving dishes. You can move taller decorative pieces to the sideboard, creating a connection between the two surfaces without repeating the same arrangement.

Fringed Placemat Olive

Olive table linens

The Fringed Placemat in Olive has a decorative looped fringe that frames each place setting. Complete your autumn table with the Olive Napkins, Set of Four, made from 100% cotton chambray with a delicate border.
