Top 10 Accessories for Autumn

When it comes to interiors even the smallest changes can have the most impact. Accessories are the perfect way to give your home a seasonal refresh. Discover the Laura James AW25 collection of accessories featuring textured cushion covers, candles, plants, and ornaments all designed to elevate your space.  

Lighting 

Lighting is essential to create that cosy autumnal glow. When the nights draw in there’s nothing cosier than the evening ritual of closing the curtains and switching on the lamps to create a warm ambience. Create a layered lighting look with a combination of floor lamps, table lamps and pendant lighting. Glass lighting like the Pimlico champagne coloured pendant light creates an elegant look with warm light, whilst the Kateli jute table lamp with paprika stripes adds both texture and colour to your home.  

Cushions & Throws  

Soft furnishings are the easiest way to update the colours in your space. Swap your summery cushion covers for  velvet cushions in jewel tones such as emerald greens and ink blues. Opt for patterns like the Lohara textured print cushion or if you prefer neutrals then choose textured details like frilled edges or velvet stripes like the Hayes cushion cover in clay.  

Style your sofa or bed with throw blankets or a bedspread to create a cosy look by adding texture. A soft blanket draped over the arm of a chair or sofa adds an effortless yet inviting feel to your living space.  

Candles 

There’s something so cosy and nostalgic when it comes to lit candles and tea lights dotted around your home during autumn. Our candle collection for AW25 features the beautiful rich scent of rose and oud. A large triple wick candle like the Alderney is perfect for elevating your kitchen island or dining table. Add some colour with the Olney candle featuring a vibrant and stylish confetti print design. Use pillar candles to create groups of candles in different heights.    

Vases 

Vases are a great way to create a focal point in a room, whether that’s an oversized vase  as a centrepiece, on a console table in the hallway with fresh flowers or as part of a collection of decorative pieces on a mantlepiece or bookcase.  Discover our range of vases from colourful glass vases like the Lazio and Veneto, to charming Evora and Corsino offering a beautiful rustic look.  

Plants 

Laura James has introduced faux plants to their accessory collection for AW25. Plants, greenery, flowers, and dried foliage are an effortless way to refresh your home throughout the year. Biophilic design, blending the outdoors with indoors and connecting with nature is very much a trend that is here to stay. Popping a few small faux plants in ceramic pots around your house adds a touch of colour and interest to your space. Add a large olive tree to the corner of the living room or a trailing plant or succulent on a shelf to bring your interiors to life. 

Mirrors 

Mirrors are not only practical, but they are a simple way to add interest to a plain wall. Create a focal point by hanging your mirror above a fireplace, opt for curved edges like the Farleigh for a contemporary look. Alternatively, hang an arched or round wall mirror above a sideboard or oak console table to create a thoughtful and styled look. Hanging a mirror opposite a window can reflect light around the room and create the illusion of more space.  

Ornaments 

Decorative objects are a great way to add a unique touch to your home. Use stacked books to display objects like the charming Cali bird. Elevate side tables, bookcases and sideboards with a vignette of objects from our gold Elstead bird ornament to the Elcombe tea light holder set. Get creative and group your favourite pieces together, combining ornaments with artwork, books, plants, lanterns and candles to create a talking point. When grouping items together try to use different heights and style in groups of three for a curated rather than cluttered look.  

Trays & Serving Boards 

A decorative tray or board is the perfect way to add a stylish look to any surface. Display candles, trinkets, or accessories on a coffee table. Choose a black tray for a chic and modern look or the Rushmoor tray in gold with a beaded edge for a more ornate look.  

Rugs 

Adding a soft rug under furniture will instantly warm up a space, the Kingsley rug is soft and comes in neutral hues offering a timeless look to any room. You could also opt for the round Heaton rug in natural sea grass or the Atcham wool and cotton blend rug with pebble effect finish for added texture. 

Ottomans & Footstools 

Finally, an ottoman or footstool can work as an accent piece of furniture whilst providing extra storage. The Fleur ottoman is a stylish statement piece with curved edges, opt for the burgundy for a rich jewel toned look or keep it sophisticated and neutral with boucle or ivory. Both add an element of texture and fun to your space.
