Cosy Interiors for Autumn: Furniture and Decor Ideas from Woodlam
Transforming your hotels, lodges or offices into warm, inviting spaces is a delightful way to embrace the season. The key to cosy interiors lies in rich textures, layered lighting, and seasonal colour trends, with furniture playing a starring role. By focusing on layered upholstery, suedes, and leathers, you can create depth and warmth that elevate any room. Be inspired with Woodlam.
Embrace Layers
Layered upholstery adds a tactile richness that invites relaxation. Opt for pieces with mixed materials — as shown in our Rato, Sky Donna and Sadika chairs. Textured upholstery with pops of bright colours in the thread pattern, combined with a base of suede or leather creates an interesting contrast.
Sadika steel chairs are featured with a patterned fluted upholstery on the back, combined with leather seats. The use of a duo-tone finish on your furniture will create a point of visual interest in your interiors. This adds a touch of sophistication while keeping comfort first. At Woodlam, you’re able to customise your furniture order to your heart’s desire! By browsing through the range of over 200 chairs, you can mix and match the upholstery of your choice to really make your spaces sing this winter.
Embrace Colour
Seasonal colour trends lean toward earthy, grounding tones, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to your usual greens, browns and beiges! Incorporate brighter-toned shades like terracotta, oranges and unexpected shades like peach through accent furniture or cushions.
The featured Coby and Sovo Plus chairs are upholstered in brighter tones that speak to an earthy nature, yet fill a space with personality without feeling muted. We especially love the powder coated steel legs in a peach fuzz colour, paired with salmon and orange suedes and cottons.
Colours that are also often overlooked for the autumn and winter season are jewel-tones such as purples and blues. The Reign and Derrik chairs are finished with a deep teal suede, along with the Rato and Sky Donna in navy and purple. These deeper tones add depth to your interiors, while being easy to maintain and clean.
By blending layered upholstery, saturated colours, rich suedes, and leathers with thoughtful lighting and decor choices, your interiors will feel like a warm embrace — perfect for autumn’s cooler days. At Woodlam, clients are guided every step of the way, backed by 35 years of industry experience.
