Take 5: autumn updates to bring that cosy vibe as the nights draw in

Russet, cranberry and warm peach combine as the leaves fall and the nights get earlier...

1 A cosy couch

Pink and peach tones work brilliantly with the Newbury sofa in Gosford Velvet in Deep Red, €1,888, Marksandspencer.ie

If there’s a right time in the year to invest in a comfy seating, it’s now. A new autumn TV schedule means you’ll get maximum bum time benefits, too.

2 Décor-great

Bloomingville peach flowerpot, €9.76, thelittledeer.co.uk

Add interest to your scheme with vases, scent and faux flowers that never lose their colour. Clever.

3 Mirror, mirror

Lenaig Stainless Steel Mirror, €280, Laredoute.com | Rougholdglass.co.uk Versailles Mirror, from €45, Oka.com

Darker evenings are drawing in, so a carefully-placed looking glass will add back light. A foxed finish means an always-flattering result, especially after a summer of excess…

4 Lie for me

The easiest update comes in the form of this super sweet Mini Dot Tassel Trim bed linin, from €23.50, Next.ie

Ring the changes in your bedroom too: soft washed linen is a cosy, comfortable fabric that’s also totally on trend.

5 Bright sparks

Poppy Delevingne for Jo Malone candle, €55, Brownthomas.com | Kinship tea light holder, €20, Oliver Bonas | Dublin Dusk 4 wick candle by Rathbornes, €54, Arnotts.ie

Soft light makes for a welcoming atmosphere. A warm-toned shade and some cute candles fit the bill.
