From the kitchen to the bedroom, wall colours can influence the way you feel every season of the year, whether you notice it or not.
As the blustery weather grips Britain, an interior design guru has named the best colours to add warmth and depth to your home, despite the dropping temperatures.
“For a lot of people, autumn is all about dialling back, cosying up, and going back to your roots,” interior design and paint expert Lucy Steele said.
“This feeling of refreshed routines, as well as focusing our attention inwards, is influencing our interiors this year.”

Choosing the correct shades can indeed transform a room. However, it also wields the ability to influence mood, reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Therefore, calming hues, such as soft blues, gentle greens or warm neutrals, can help create a “serene sanctuary” to feed mindfulness and peace, Ms Steele advised.
Many painting gurus concur with the suggestion, believing that pastel colours make for a relaxing, tranquil space.

Soft, pale blue in particular is known to calm the mind and help you feel serene.
However, bursts of colour can also keep with the autumnal theme, with Ms Steele noting “a wave of nostalgia” is sweeping through autumn design trends, blending retro flair with contemporary refinement.

According to the expert, burnt orange is “perfect” as a deep, warm shade “that’s as intense as it is welcoming”, and creates a space that cocoons you.
The guru recommended partnering the shade with layers and texture galore, from woollen rugs to layered throws.
Other rich tones that are recommended include deep reds, mustards and burgundies, which can make a “striking” impact while still being inspired by nature.
