At this time of year our trees switch in unison from ubiquitous green, to ruby red, burnt orange and glorious, golden yellow.  I believe how you style an interior naturally changes with the seasons and I love the freedom of evolving an interior throughout the year.  I like to introduce new pieces to refresh and revitalise; this autumn I am drawn to warm colours like amber and ochre and drawn to rich finishes, such as straw marquetry and Tiger’s Eye.

Carefully selected amber toned accessories draw the eye and add a luxurious finishing touch to your interior. This luxurious, straw marquetry lamp, in a natural golden hue, is the perfect finishing touch for an elegant interior. Entwined in golden branches, the superb, sculptural, Camille Vase is one of our most unusual and collectable pieces.

This powder room is transformed with the simple addition of an orange hued, geometric mirror. It perfectly complements the golden veining of the vaticana marble vanity top.

Accent cushions in burnt orange tones and a large, contemporary, artwork add touches of brilliant colour to this fawn and bronze living room.

Tiger’s Eye is one of my favorite accessory finishes for autumn; it has such beautiful depth and warmth. The Katharine Pooley Tiger’s Eye Tile Frame is handcrafted in 24K gold and features exquisite rectangular Tiger’s Eye detailing, set against a shagreen inlay to perfectly frame your photograph and the unique and beautiful Tiger’s Eye Orb Objet is designed as a stylish luxury accessory to impress and inspire.

In an open plan space, careful use of a strong colour will draw the eye through the room. Here I added orange velvet armchairs and a deeper tone of the same colour to the dining chair backs.

This fresh and contemporary garden room study is invigorated with pops of vivid orange, seen in the beautiful accessories and upholstered ottomans and desk chair.

The Octagonal Shagreen Frame is an absolute favourite luxury home accessory of mine. Handcrafted in 24K gold and features exquisite cream and pink geometric inlays to perfectly frame your photograph. Our Photo Frames are designed with precision stitched leather backs and stands and polished metal detailing.

The Beatrice Agate Sculpture and the Bianca Agate Objet, featuring a bronze-edged agate slices, suspended on a brass stand, are a striking and enduringly classic addition to your home.

In this tonal bedroom, I layered shades of deep yellow and ochre within the soft ivory and grey fabric scheme, for a warm and cozy feel. Yellow looks fabulous combined with gold on a neutral backdrop and I urge you to try it yourself.

A beautiful gift, the Lexington Vase is hand crafted from amber coloured, ombre glass, styled into an elegant, silver fumed base. This highly decorative glass piece is part of a collection of three differing sizes, all sharing the same architectural, triangular shape. Perfect for bedrooms, dressing rooms and living rooms, it will draw the eye wherever it is located.

I am so pleased autumn is finally here. Between the fun of Halloween and the family time of Thanksgiving, it can be over in the blink of an eye. As a season, its beauty can be as fleeting as the falling leaves, so we should all make time to enjoy and be inspired by every moment.
