Now that Autumn is here (my favourite Season for sure!); I love taking the time to make everything feel a little cosier, and changing things up a little as the colder weather draws in. I’ll alter my wardrobe, I’ll enjoy more time indoors being creative, and I always love to change up the decor in our home. It’s my favourite part of the changing seasons!

I was recently contacted by one of my all time favourite brands; wilko*. I’m forever shopping in wilko for homeware, beauty products, cleaning essentials, stationery and Art and craft bargains. So when they got in touch asking if I’d like to know more about their new homeware range, I jumped at the chance! They have four new Autumn/Winter trend collections; Expression, Fusion, Hyper-Natural and Treasured. Each is specifically tailored to a different style featuring an impressive range of products, so there really is something for everyone.

I knew my living room was the space I most wanted to shake up, give a new lease of life to, and make extra cosy for Autumn and Winter; so I decided to try a range of products from all four trend collections to do just that.

 

This is what my space looked life BEFORE.
Summery, boring, and not very inviting.

So I set to work and decided to try the following products;

• Marble and copper effect wall clock (£6)
• Fabric Hanging Leaf Plaque (£5)
• Misty forest canvas (60x90cm) (£15)
• 2 x Emerald quilt velvet cushions (£8)
• 1 Charcoal chinelle cushion (£5)
• Wooden heart frame (£6)
• Tropical passion fruit and blueberry pillar candle (7x15cm) (£2.50)
• Letter drawers (£8)
• Large green and gold candle (£5)
• Set of 2 debossed green vases (£8)
• Artificial succulent in cement pot (£8)
• Hexagon mirror (£5)
• Gold effect glass candle lantern (£8)
• Tropical passion fruit and blueberry pillar candle (6x10cm) (£1.50)

I was so pleased at the incredible range on offer; each product was of a beautiful, high quality and for such a low price. I wasn’t at all surprised that wilko had such bargains as I’m a year round fan – but I think it really did open even my eyes to what was possible on a small budget for families or people living in their own space for the first time. It’s easy to change up your homeware for the season and make a space feel cosier. The four collections each cater to different styles, so there’s no need to compromise on taste when putting together your perfect home. 

 

I was really keen to indulge in the Autumn/Winter theme, and while my sofa and walls are a girly pink; that didn’t mean I couldn’t choose the perfect pieces to make things feel more seasonal. I decided to opt for deep forest green/emerald shades and I couldn’t have been more spoiled for choice with the wilko selections! I feel like I’ve made the perfect cosy space for Winter in just a few easy steps; and I can’t wait to get lost in a book on the sofa, snuggled up, seeing the weather outside go darker, rainier (and possibly snowy!) with each passing day.

I’d thoroughly recommend checking out wilko, whether you pop in store or shop online at wilko.com. They offer amazingly low cost delivery or a free order and collect service. 

 

How will you  change up your decor for Autumn/Winter?
