The summer has been a hot one in Buckinghamshire and many other places, but the sizzling hot days will start to fade soon enough as summer transitions into winter, the days get shorter and the leaves turn from green to gold.
All that may disappoint many, for the summer with its many seasonal delights is always likely to be the most popular time of the year. But interior designers in Buckinghamshire can help you meet the coming of autumn and winter with style and a renewed sense of cosiness.
If the Pantone colour of the year for 2022 was a ‘very peri’ shade of blue that went well with the spring hues of bluebells and forget-me-nots, the signature tones for autumn should be a mixture of earthy tones, according to Ideal Home Magazine’s panel of experts. This, they suggest, will help catch the Hygge-style sense of cosiness the Danes specialise in.
COAT colour expert Aaron Markwell said: “Warm tones are the key to making living rooms feel cosy. In brighter living rooms, choose light taupes and earthier tones for your interior scheme.”
He added that in areas with lots of shadow, beige can go well, but should be combined with warmer colours like buff pink.
This may help increase the sense of warmth and cosiness, but so to might a wider focus on natural, earthy tones. Homes and Gardens has highlighted the growth of this trend, which first arose in the early 20th century and is now making something of a comeback.
Naturally, this comes with plenty of natural materials like wood, although not necessarily in a warm brown. Nonetheless, this can clearly convey plenty of warmth to provide a certain sense of cosiness that will be very welcome in winter.
Of course, a sense of Hygge can feature much more than just design features, such as warm throws, rugs and huggable cushions. But by combining all of these elements, you can give your home a sense of comfort that you will love when the colder seasons arrive.
