As the evenings grow darker and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to embrace a little autumn hibernation! Wrap up in blankets, light your favourite candle, and let the changing weather inspire cosy corners and calm moments at home. From soft throws to warming scents, a few thoughtful touches can transform your space into a cosy autumnal haven. With Barnardo’s autumn homeware collection, you can shop autumn decorating ideas for less while supporting children, young people and families across the UK.
As the temperature drops, the easiest way to make your home feel autumn-ready is by layering. Swap light summer cottons for fleece throws, chunky knits and thicker bedding to instantly create warmth.
In the living room, drape one of Barnardo’s festive fleece throws across your sofa, or fold our Winter Foliage throws at the foot of the bed for a cosy layered effect. In the bedroom, choose a duvet in warmer tones, add cushions or extra throws.
These easy swaps transform your rooms into comforting retreats that feel snug and seasonal. You’ll never want to leave!
Place one in your hallway to greet guests, or in your living room for a cosy autumn evening.
Sometimes it’s the small touches that make the biggest difference. Autumnal decorations like candle holders, mugs, and tea towels help you decorate without breaking the bank.
Cluster candles in decorative candle stick holders for soft light and ambience, or switch everyday kitchen textiles for colourful tea towels.
Autumn is the perfect time to slow down and introduce rituals that bring comfort to your everyday. Set up a reading nook with a throw and soft light, commit to a daily “quiet half hour” with no screens, or unwind with a jigsaw puzzle and a warm drink.
Barnardo’s autumn essentials make it easy to enjoy these rituals: sip from the Cottage Garden Daisy Mug, or relax with a House of Puzzles jigsaw while soft lighting and fragrance fill your room.
Always remember to tuck in a Patterned Knitted Cover Hot Water Bottle 10 minutes before bedtime so you slip into warm bedsheets.
Making your home cosy for autumn doesn’t have to be complicated – or costly! Simply layer soft throws, add warm lighting like candles or salt lamps and fill your space with seasonal scents., Refresh your bedrooms with thicker bedding, and create little everyday rituals - like a quiet corner for solving puzzles or having your morning brew.
At Barnardo’s, we believe that home should be a place of comfort and care. When you choose something from our homeware collection - whether it’s a throw, candle holder, salt lamp or diffuser - you’re not only bringing warmth into your own home, but you’re also helping us support children, young people and families across the UK.
Explore our autumn homeware collection today and find inspiration to make your home extra cosy for autumn.
