Autumn is well and truly upon us!
It’s that time of year when we can cosy up indoors and make the most of the change in season from within our homes. Here at Aliwood, we love Autumn, it’s one of the prettiest seasons that can certainly accentuate your roof lantern. If you’re looking to make the most of your decorative feature this year, then look no further. We’re going to detail our favourite cosy, autumnal home trends that can help you make the most of your roof lantern!
Classic Comfort
You just can’t go wrong with a little layering during the colder months. Keep it cosy. The more throws and blankets, the better. Whether decorative or practical, the extra layers create warmth and texture within your home. Perfect for jazzing up a sofa in your preferred colour scheme or padding out the reading corner by the fireplace. Complement your roof lantern with cosiness below the view of the autumnal sky.
Mixed Textures
Mixed textures are always a winner around this time of year, adding to that layered look. Tap into those natural materials to promote a sense of wellbeing; rattan, bamboo and seagrass furniture are beautiful, adding that rustic feel in neutral colouring. Take a look at ceramic accessories too. From crockery to decorative bowls, it can be the perfect artisanal extra to spruce up your autumnal abode.

Nature’s Finest
What better to accentuate your roof lantern than with nature inside. A 3D extension of what your roof lantern brings into your home. Of course, you can buy beautiful nature inspired homeware from local retailers, but for true authenticity, the best produce is often on your doorstep! With upcycling and crafting becoming extremely popular over lockdown, take a look at Instagram for some inspo to bring nature into your home.
If you’re feeling extra creative, you could look to craft wreaths and garlands; natural or painted pumpkins are also a simple way to inject a little colour to the indoor landscape. From dining tables, to potpourri bowls, simple decoration with acorns, leaves, pinecones and conkers are a great way to autumnify your everyday accessories. Finish off with some pumpkin spiced votives for a warm and cosy glow.
Neutral Space
Creating space will always be on trend and a roof lantern can certainly help you achieve this by opening up your room and filling your space with light. If you’re looking for that little extra space, we suggest minimalism, neutral colours and mirrors. These elements combined can make a room appear a lot larger than it actually is.
Decluttering is a great way to prepare you for the change in seasons. In doing so, a more minimalistic space will present itself. Make a conscious effort to keep your roof lantern room as clear from clutter as possible. A mirror or two will give the illusion of extra room and reflect the light around accordingly.
Neutral colours are perfect for any time of the year, creating a tranquil environment and giving you endless décor options. Subtle colours go especially well with Autumn trends and are a great base, enabling you to add or take away throughout the year.

Feature Walls
These have recently gained a lot of popularity. From simple, rustic brickwork, eye catching wallpaper, to a completely different colour of paint, a feature wall should draw attention and become one of the focal areas of your chosen room. Your roof lantern will highlight its features brilliantly. To create a contemporary and stylish space, a bespoke wall mural is a fantastic way to add character, cosiness and brighten up the rainiest of Autumn days.
Beautiful blooms in large pots against the wall work a treat too! Fresh dahlias, sunflowers, verticillate and eucalyptus are on trend at the moment. For something a little more long-lasting, we would recommend picking up some dried flowers and some bunches of pampas.
