8 Simple Ways To Refresh Your Home For Autumn

8 Simple Ways To Refresh Your Home For Autumn

Refreshing your home doesn't have to cost a fortune; sometimes adding small changes to your rooms can make the biggest change to how the room both looks and feels.

Even just decluttering or rearranging your furniture can have a huge effect. 

If you're looking for some homeware hacks on how to completely rejuvenate your space, then you're in the right place. 

We're going to take you through some of our favourite hacks for bringing new life into rooms without breaking the bank in the process. 

1. Bedding 

A great way to bring new life to your bedroom is by changing up your duvet covers. It is a simple but effective way to create a fresh new look by adding new colour and warmth to your space. 

Everyone loves a simple white bedcover for its minimalist and classic look, but adding a duvet with a touch of colour or a statement print can really add a unique touch to your space. 

Adding this luxurious Duvet set from Laurence Llewelyn is a simple way to completely transform a bedroom. The vibrant, eye-catching stripes will add a unique flair to your room for a cutting-edge contemporary look. 

2. Curtains 

Another simple but effective change is investing in new curtains. This is a cost-effective way of completely changing the mood of any room.

The curtains really are the heart of the room and control how your room looks. Try changing up the colours or adding a new pattern to freshen up any space. 

A pair we love is these Eyelet Curtains by Laura Ashley Home. These simple curtains will add a modern touch and draw light and warmth into your room. 

3. Statement Cushions 

Changing up your existing cushions on your bed or sofa is a brilliant way to update your space without major changes.

If you want an even more cost-effective version of this, you can simply change out your existing cushion covers for new ones. 

It's a great way to experiment with new colours and textures, especially if your room is otherwise neutral-toned. You don't have to play it safe with cushions; be as bold and adventurous as you want. 

Scatterbox cushions are a must-have for any Irish home, with their statement designs and exceptional quality.

This round-shaped cushion is a great way to add new textures and shapes to your room for an intriguing touch. 

4. Standout Rugs 

A great way to bring new life into a room is by adding a statement rug. A rug can be the focal point of the room and completely revamp your space, adding warmth and comfort.

Choosing the right size rug for your room is important because the wrong size can cramp a room or make it feel unbalanced or disjointed.

Opt for a rug that anchors your furniture for a unified look. 

We're obsessing over this eye-catching Striped Rug from AFK Living. This rug would add character to any room for a new look and feel. 

5. Lamps 

Bring a new mood into your room by adding ambient lighting. If you don't already have a lamp in your space, it's a great way of adding soft, warm lighting.

Lamps add layers of light; they are also great for focused tasks like reading, serving both functional and decorative functions. 

In a bigger space, try adding a floor lamp for more light or in a smaller space, a table lamp would work great. 

A great choice is this Tortoiseshell Table Lamp from Pacific. This lamp has a sophisticated design with its gold embellishments and is sure to add warmth and a unique pattern to any room.

6. Wall Art 

Adding wall art to your space can make a huge difference. It establishes a focal point and can influence the mood of the room through colours and textures.

It's also a great way to express your personality through your home because you can choose pieces that represent you and your interests. 

A standout piece for warmth and Irish heritage is this gorgeous piece of Framed Artwork from Scatterbox.

Scatterbox art pieces are all designed by individual artists, and you're sure to find one in their expansive collection that will complement your space. 

7. Table Runners 

If you want to revitalise your dining space, a simple but effective hack is adding a table runner.

This is a quick and affordable way to transform your decor and the overall aesthetics of your room. A bright and bold table runner will draw the eye and add colour and texture to your table. 

A tablerunner we love for its quirky and unique flair is this Striped Runner from Laurence Llewelyn

8. Towels 

Another quick and cost-effective way to update the look of your bathroom is by adding new vibrant towels.

Replacing worn-out or faded towels will make the entire bathroom feel clean and refreshed. 

They add a fresh aesthetic, and not to mention, nothing beats the feeling of a new soft towel. Dabble in new colours and patterns to add new life to your room. 

Rejuvenating your bathroom has never been easier with these standout towels from Orla Kiely.

We love these bright and bold colours that will add personality to your room and make it feel new again. 

Whether you're completely refreshing your home or just adding fresh touches, remember that even the smallest of changes have the most impact in your home.

Sometimes, less is more, but adding a quirky standout piece is a great way to incorporate personality and flair into a room.
