15 ways to add autumn to your home

In the dining room
If there's a lot of wood and hard surfaces, soften things up by slip covering the end chairs or using upholstered end banquettes.

On the table, mix things up with coloured crystal, chargers and decorative plates. Cut coloured crystal and Moroccan tea glasses – they have a richness that just feels like fall.

Put bowls of coconuts on the table. The texture is perfect for this time of year, especially with a layer of baby pinecones or moss.

In the bedroom
Layer up the bed with a quilted blanket in satin or velvet.

Upholster the headboard.

Replace white lampshades with black or something lined with gold or silver.

In the bathroom
Hang floating shelves to store books and candles and soaps.

Get a long wooden tray for the counter and place vases filled with sea corals on it.

Add little lamps to the vanity.

If you have the room, slip cover a chair and ottoman in a warm-coloured terry cloth and a wool runner.
