Autumn is just around the corner and with it brings cooler nights.
The UK’s leading garden centre, Dobbies, is the perfect destination for great value seasonal accessories that can be used both outside and in, giving people an abundance of inspiration on how they can extend the time that can be spent in the garden and cosy up their space.
We caught up with Dobbies’ Buyer, Hayley Ker to find out how we can spice up our exteriors with Dobbies’ new season range of homewares and accessories, guaranteed to add some autumnal flair to our gardens and homes.
Hayley said: “Autumn is the perfect time to make the most of indoor-outdoor living and by adding some great quality pieces that will serve you well throughout the cooler months. Heavier cushions and throws will complement your lighter summer furniture well and can be layered together to create a cosy vibe both outside and in, without a big expense.
“To create an autumnal look that still feels fresh, pair traditional seasonal tones like terracotta with lighter, cool-toned colours for a modern edge. Styling different tones and textures together will help create a snug sanctuary, perfect for alfresco entertaining on cooler nights, and when we get into winter, these pieces can be brought inside to add depth and warmth to your home.
In addition to soft furnishings, Hayley recommends the use of autumn wreaths to style your space: “Autumn wreaths are a great way to spruce up your outside space and warm up your garden shed or front door. The golden yellow tones, soft ambers and muted browns all play their part in creating a cosy display to brighten up the colder days.”
“Lighting can transform your space,” said Hayley, as she explains how to get the look: “Twinkling string lights and lanterns are a fantastic way to give your space a glow as the nights get darker and will add charm to any space. Overhead fairy lights always look great and will completely transform the mood of a balcony or small garden. For an intimate vibe in a large space, assorted lanterns styled in groups will add warmth and help create a romantic ambience, and these can just as easily be used indoors to brighten up an empty corner of your home.
“To really level up your interiors, Dobbies’ stunning new range of vases will add a touch of sophisticated glamour to your home this autumn. From beautiful stoneware in trending colours, to gorgeous jewel toned options, accessorising your home for the new season has never been easier. Oversized vases are great for both your garden and home and will instantly give your space an Instagram-ready look.”
