As autumn’s golden hues start to spread across the landscape, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home. With summer’s light and airy atmosphere fading, we embrace the season of crisp evenings, cooler breezes, and that distinctive amber glow that draws us inside. Suddenly, our homes become more than just a place; they become our sanctuary, wrapped in warmth, comfort, and seasonal charm, with blinds and curtains that soften the light and frame the season beautifully.
So, get cosy and let The Fabric Box guide you through How to Update Your Home for Autumn…
Swap Out Textiles
Transitioning your home doesn’t require a full overhaul, just a strong base with seasonal accents. Start by swapping out light, pastel cushions with rich textures like wool, velvet, or boucle. A season favourite fabric, Celina Berry’s plush texture and deep berry hue add a luxurious touch to Roman blinds or Curtains, perfect for creating a snug reading nook. Verdant Teal, with its botanical motif and rich jewel tone, adds depth and vibrancy to any room, echoing the lushness of autumn foliage.

Layering is key. Add a chunky knit throw or a natural woven blanket to your sofa or bed to introduce depth and comfort. These small additions not only enhance the visual appeal but also bring a subtle sense of nature indoors, perfect for echoing the earthy tones of the season.
To elevate your autumn styling even further, incorporate block print patterns into your interiors. Fabrics like Cami Sand, with its delicate hand-printed leaf motif in warm, earthy neutrals, complement autumn palettes beautifully. The soft sandy tones echo the muted shades of fallen leaves making it the perfect visual representation of the season.
Tip from The Fabric Box: Mix and match textures across blinds, cushions, and throws to create a layered look that feels curated and cosy.
Immerse in Cosiness
This time of year is all about curling up and feeling snug in your own space. One of the best ways to bring the outdoors in and capture that autumnal vibe is through earthy hues. Surrounding yourself with rich creams, neutrals, and taupe tones creates a warm and sophisticated atmosphere that complements any décor style. To elevate this earthy-inspired palette, introduce Flores in Biscuit – its soft, buttery tones evoke a comforting sense of natural elegance. Pair it with The Pantone Colour of the Year, ‘Mocha Mousse,’ and you get the perfect blend of chocolatey richness and coffee-inspired warmth, satisfying our craving for comfort while adding timeless style to your home.

Bring Nature Indoors
At The Fabric Box, we believe your window dressings can play a key role in bringing nature-inspired design into your space.
Start by introducing earthy tones and organic textures through your blinds. Our Lumi Rust fabric, for example, feature a delicate leaf motif in a rich, autumnal hue – perfect for echoing the season’s golden foliage. Pair them with dried flowers, pampas grass, and rustic accessories to create a cosy corner that feels both grounded and inviting.
To deepen the connection to nature, layer in wooden-grained accents like oak side tables or reclaimed wood shelves. Complement these with natural elements—think dried orange slices, pinecones, and mini pumpkins – that mirror the warm tones found in our Sephora Sand fabric. Their soft, and a leafy design and neutral palette blend beautifully with seasonal styling, creating a harmonious look that celebrates autumn’s organic charm.
Did you know? The Fabric Box offers matching cushions for many of its blind fabrics—making it easier than ever to create a cohesive, nature-inspired look throughout your home.

Scent The Season
Scent is one of the strongest senses tied to memory, and autumn brings with it a host of comforting aromas—smoke, cinnamon spice, pumpkin, and baked pies. One way to create a true seasonal sanctuary is by pairing fragrance with your blinds and fabrics, layering mood through sight and scent together.
Take our Sephora Sand Roller Blinds— their soft, leafy motif and warm, neutral shade evoke the beauty of nature indoors and pair beautifully with vanilla, cedarwood, or cinnamon scents, adding subtle warmth and sophistication to your space.

With The Fabric Box’s range of Roman, Roller, Vertical, and Curtains, it’s easy to find fabrics that not only enhance your décor but also reflect the mood of the season. As shown in the mood board, warm autumnal tones of orange bring the collection to life – perfectly capturing the essence of the season. By blending colour, texture, and fragrance, your home becomes more than just a backdrop; it transforms into a comforting sanctuary that celebrates autumn in all its beauty.
So, as the evenings draw in and the air turns crisp, surround yourself with the tones, textures, and scents that make autumn so magical. After all, home is where the season truly begins.
