Autumn 2025 Interior Styling & Fragrance Trends: How to Refresh Your Home for the Season
As Autumn arrives, our homes naturally shift with the season. Days get shorter, evenings turn cooler, and we’re drawn indoors in search of comfort, warmth, and atmosphere. This is the perfect time to re-style your home so it feels like a seasonal retreat.
In Autumn 2025, interiors are all about cocooning textures, earthy tones, and sensory layers. At Elm & Grey, we believe that small, thoughtful updates — from a statement vase to a seasonal fragrance — can completely change the mood of a room.
Here’s how to bring the season’s trends into your own space:
1. Grounded Autumn Colour Palettes
This year, rich earth tones are taking centre stage: think rust, terracotta, copper, olive green, and amber, balanced with soft neutrals for harmony. These colours feel instantly grounding and set the tone for an inviting home.
Elm & Grey Tip: Our Amber Glass Floor Vase and Copper Frost Canvas pick up on this year’s trending tones, adding depth and warmth to living rooms and dining spaces
2. Texture that Invites Touch
From bouclé and wool to handwoven baskets and organic ceramics, layered textures are key to creating a cocooning atmosphere. It’s about mixing soft, tactile textiles with natural, structured finishes.
Elm & Grey Tip: Try pairing a faux dahlia bouquet in a ceramic vase with our handwoven seagrass baskets to add instant textural interest to a console or hallway.
3. Light That Creates Atmosphere
With shorter days, lighting is as much about atmosphere as it is about function. This autumn, pockets of warm light — candles, lanterns, and soft-shaded lamps — bring cosiness and depth.
Elm & Grey Tip: Our luxury scented candles not only cast a golden glow but also layer fragrance into your home, creating a sensory experience that changes with the season.
4. Seasonal Fragrance as a Design Layer
Scent is one of the most powerful ways to transform the feeling of a home. In Autumn 2025, the trend is for woody, resinous, and gourmand notes: amber, oud, tonka, spiced fruit, and myrrh. These fragrances feel grounding and indulgent — like wrapping up in a cashmere throw.
Elm & Grey Tip: Switch to autumnal scents such as our Myrrh & Tonka diffuser for richness, or Blackcurrant & Tuberose for a fresher seasonal twist.
5. Seasonal Greenery That Lasts
Biophilia is here to stay, but autumn calls for faux foliage in earthy hues: eucalyptus, dahlias, berry stems, olive branches, and dried grasses. These add height, structure, and warmth without the upkeep of fresh arrangements.
Elm & Grey Tip: Style our Eucalyptus and Dahlia Autumnal Bouquets in an oversized vase for a low-maintenance seasonal update.
6. Curated Styling for Easy Impact
This autumn is about intentional styling — grouping objects and accents so they feel collected, not cluttered. Think trios of candles, layered cushions, or a vase, basket, and artwork styled together.
Elm & Grey Tip: Explore our Autumn Edit for ready-to-style accessories that work beautifully in sets, making it effortless to refresh your home.
Final Thought
Autumn 2025 interiors are about more than just following trends — they’re about creating a home that feels like a sanctuary. With the right accents in colour, texture, greenery, lighting, and fragrance, you can capture the season’s warmth and elegance while still keeping your home timeless.
