Three savvy ways to give your home an autumnal update on a budget
THE changing of the seasons is a great time to change up the decor in your pad.
From warming colours to berries and pine cones, give your home an autumnal update on a budget.
Here are some affordable ideas to help you move with the seasons . . .
COSY UP: As temperatures fall, introduce warming touches, with throws and blankets to stay snuggly on the sofa.
Look for second-hand items to keep costs down. Or the Online Home Shop has teddy fleece throws in different shades from £3.
Plush pumpkins and cushions are also a great touch. You can get them from just £1 at Hobbycraft.
DRAUGHT AWAY: Rather than cranking up the heating, keep the chills away with a draught excluder.
You can inject a bit of character with Dunelm’s cheerful Sam The Sausage Dog excluder for £16.
Or keep it simple with Habitat’s faux shearling one in different shades for £3.60.
If you have wooden floorboards, then rugs are a great way to help stop draughts coming from underneath — and they make a great style statement.
Opt for washable ones to save on cleaning costs.
Styles start from £25 at kukoonrugs.com — plus you’ll get ten per cent off your first order if you sign up for its mailing list.
IT’S ONLY NATURAL: Head into nature to collect pine cones and conkers to place in a glass bowl or vase to create table centrepieces or decorative items for your mantelpiece.
Or hunt for brightly coloured leaves and foliage with red berries to create a wreath for your door.
This makes a lovely and affordable way to welcome in the change of seasons.
You’ll need a ring (try the rattan grapevine wreath, £3, The Works), then simply tuck in the leaves and foliage in a pattern.
You can use string to wrap on pine cones or glue for conkers.
