WHAT A PLUM!

The couleur de saison for interior stylists this autumn is the rich, berry-flavoured, jewel-toned hue, plum

1 ANNIE SLOAN PAINT

The queen of retro paint and vintage styling certainly knows how to work a heritage shade and this wall paint in Tyrian Plum is a nod, she says, to the ancient pigment, Tyrian purple, once much-loved by Roman emperors. It certainly boasts grandeur. Deeply saturated, its warmth is an ideal choice, says Sloan, “for dining spaces and bedrooms”. £55 per 2.5L, anniesloan.com

2 BUD VASE

Teetering on the edges of pink, this lightly coloured plum vase will bring just a nod to the trend or sit nicely as a contrast next to deeper plum-hued homeware. At just 14cm tall, this apothecary style bottle will look delightful with a sprig of dried flowers on a mantelpiece or windowsill. £9.95, annabeljames.co.uk

3 MULBERRY PLUM WOOL THROW

Warm and embracing, an indulgent plum hue is undoubtedly best suited to the cooler months and is ideal for creating a cosy ambience while the weather rages outside. Knitted in off-white herringbone and fringe, this luxurious, berrycoloured wool throw will get you in the right mood for settling down by the fire with a warming drink. It measures up to a decent size of 148cm x 190cm. £132, tollymcrae.co.uk

It’s certainly a feast for the eyes but it offers luxuriating comfort too, with 100% feather back cushions and ergonomic lumbar support. A seat for sinking into.
