The Cosy Edit
As we transition from Summer to Autumn, there’s a growing desire for comfort, prompting a shift towards warm and cocooning colour palettes in interiors—whether through flooring or carefully selected home accessories.
We dive into the latest products and trends that will make you fall in love with the cosy season.
Alpine Escape
Laminate, Muse Dusky Bluestone from £32.49 per m2, Quick-Step, quick-step.co.uk
An Alpine revival is tipped to be a popular trend this season, with exposed beams, cosy textiles and roaring fires adding authentic layers to indoor spaces. Introducing stone-effect floors can add another layer of interest that instantly connects with the outdoors.
“Laminate floors with underfloor heating provide a perfect mix of warmth and style, making every step feel like a cosy embrace. Heated floors are becoming a popular feature in both new builds and renovation projects. While many assume this limits their flooring options to tiles, our laminate wood and vinyl collections are also compatible with underfloor heating systems.” — Anastasiia Kudashova, Lead Design Manager, Quick-Step
Bedroom Basics

Carpets can help add a thermal insulating layer to home design making them a great solution for bedroom zones. While bedrooms may not be high-traffic areas, they can be prone to spills and mishaps, so choosing the benefits of Stainfree and bleach-cleanable carpets can help keep bedrooms looking cosy and inviting, whatever the season.
Rustic Charm
Rustic Croft collection, 351 Soft Lime from £64 per m2, Rivera Home UK
Rustic charm heralds a reconnection with the traditional landscapes of our countryside. It celebrates the organic textures and constructions and celebrates the unique details of natural materials. Not only does this overall aesthetic offer an escape from technology and the bustle of modern life, but natural materials like wool carpets, offer durability and comfort while its unique properties offer thermal insulating benefits.
Comforting Cushions

Cushions can instantly add colour and brighten up those darker autumnal days—whether it’s a scattering of colourful cushions on a bed or a single favourite piece for a cosy corner seat.
“For colour coordination, choose cushions in shades that either complement or contrast with your existing decor to create visual interest. Mixing patterns and textures can also create a dynamic and inviting look.” – Sarah Hazebroek, Huddle Collection
Cosy Corner
Moduleo LayRed Herringbone Country Oak 54991 from £50.99 per m2, Moduleo
A cosy corner offers a retreat away from the noise of family living. It can be an impromptu window seat or a quiet nook in a study or living area. Most importantly, it should provide a space to escape into a book, study, or simply reflect.
Scandi Aesthetics

Scandinavian aesthetics continue to captivate homeowners with a blend of Nordic charm and practical simplicity. While light tones are a classic choice, consider adding chalkboard accents in pale pink, salmon, and blues for a comforting update to the Scandi trend.
Tip: Choose wood-effect flooring in subtle greys or light woods to enhance this theme
Metallics
Griff collection, 8419 Columbus Gold from £175 (80 x 150cm), Louis De Poortere
As daylight dwindles, shimmering metallics can bring a touch of sparkle to autumn interiors. Consider adding metallic-framed furniture, reflective accessories, or rugs woven with glistening threads, like this luxurious rug from Louis De Poortere.
