Seasonal Styling with Soul: Autumn in Somerset
Written by SAKL Interiors Ltd – Luxury Design Rooted in Taunton.
As the leaves turn and the light softens, Somerset enters its golden hush. At SAKL Interiors, we see autumn not as a trend to chase but as a mood to honour. This season invites warmth, depth, and quiet transformation. Here’s how we style with soul, not just surface.
1. Embrace the Shift in Light
Autumn light is low, golden, and fleeting.
- Swap sheer linens for textured voiles or soft wool blends.
- Introduce warm metallic accents brass, aged bronze, or copper.
- Use layered lighting: wall sconces, dimmable pendants, and candlelight.
Let the light guide the mood, not the other way around.
2. Curate Colour with Intention
We don’t “decorate for autumn.” We respond to it.
- Earthy ochres, muted rusts, and deep greens echo the landscape.
- Pair with chalky neutrals to keep the palette grounded.
- Avoid clichés no pumpkin overload, no forced cosiness.
Instead, think: quiet richness.
3. Texture Is the New Colour
In minimalist luxury, texture speaks louder than print.
- Introduce bouclé cushions, raw-edge ceramics, or handwoven throws.
- Layer natural woods with soft leathers or brushed cottons.
- Let each surface invite touch, not just sight.
Autumn is tactile. Your space should be too.
4. Style for Stillness, Not Just Warmth
Autumn isn’t just about warmth it’s about slowness.
- Create quiet corners with a single chair, a low lamp, and a view.
- Style shelves with fewer, more meaningful objects.
- Let negative space breathe.
Design isn’t just visual it’s emotional.
5. Honour Somerset’s Soul
Our styling draws from the land itself.
- Use locally sourced foliage branches, seed pods, dried grasses.
- Reference Somerset stone tones in your palette.
- Let your home reflect the seasonal rhythm of the region.
This isn’t just styling its storytelling.
Final Thought
Autumn in Somerset is a whisper, not a shout.
At SAKL Interiors, we style with soul inviting the season in, gently.
Because true luxury isn’t loud. It’s intentional, emotional, and quietly transformative.
