TEXTURE & PATTERN

Warming plaids, classic checks and interesting weaves are the mainstay of a home inspired by autumn. Look for heightened texture in roughly woven textiles or chunky wools. Felted wool can also work successfully for curtains, cushions and upholstery. Alternatively, you could hang blankets with café clips or use them as coverings for chairs or cushion covers. Pair these heavy fabrics with traditional pictorial designs inspired by nature, including leaves or plants, birds, animals, fruits and berries. Arts & Crafts patterns sit well with rugged weaves – the William Morris Archive recently launched an updated and simplified collection that suits current tastes.
