We’ve just waved goodbye to summer and stepped into autumn Down Under, and what better time than a seasonal shift to give your bedroom a refresh?

Your bedroom should be your sanctuary - the place where you unwind, recharge, and dream up your next big adventure (or renovation!). If it’s not currently bringing you joy and calm - or it just needs a bit of a zjoosh - it might be time for a few clever swaps to give your space an instant update… without lifting a paintbrush!

Here’s how to style your bed to perfection this season.

1. Pile on the Layers

Autumn is all about layering - both in fashion and in bed styling. Start with breathable cotton or linen sheets as your base, add a lightweight quilt, and then drape a chunky knit throw or a faux fur blanket at the foot of the bed. The more layers, the more luxe the look - and the better for those unpredictable in-between-season night temperatures.

2. Cosy Up Your Colour Palette

If you’re ready to embrace the colours of the season, pop the summer brights away and introduce some warm, earthy tones. Rust, mustard, sage greens, and rich browns bring an instant autumn vibe to your space. If neutrals are more your jam, layer in soft caramels, warm greys, or creamy whites. The trick is mixing these shades across your sheets, throws, and cushions to create an effortlessly cosy look.

3. Texture, Texture, Texture

Velvet. Linen. Frilled edges. The secret to a bed that looks like it belongs in a boutique hotel? Mixing textures. Try velvet cushion covers, a plush throw, and linen sheets for a dreamy, layered feel. Texture adds depth, interest, and most importantly - warmth!

4. Upgrade Your Pillow Game

If your bed only has two flat, lifeless pillows, we need to talk. Pillows are your styling besties! Six to ten pillows is ideal for a well-styled luxe-look bed. Start with your standard sleeping pillows, add two Euro pillows for height, and then pile on a mix of decorative cushions. Play with different shapes, fabrics, and sizes for a plush, inviting setup.

5. Set the Mood at Your Bedside

Your autumn bedroom refresh isn’t just about the bed - your bedside styling counts too! A lamp (with a warm white globe for cosy vibes), a scented candle and a cute little stack of books instantly up the cosy factor. Add a soft rug underfoot so those first steps in the morning are extra plush.

6. Bring Nature Indoors

Autumn is the season to embrace nature - without actually stepping outside. A little greenery, whether real or faux, is an effortless way to breathe life into your bedroom and keep things feeling fresh. We’re big fans of a faux olive tree for a low-maintenance touch of nature or a vase of fresh, seasonal blooms is always a winner.

7. Embrace ‘Effortless’

Gone are the days of stiff, overly perfect bed-making. The autumn aesthetic is all about relaxed luxury. Think slightly rumpled linen sheets, casually draped blankets, and a bed that says, ‘jump in!.’ Aim for a balance between styled and lived-in.

If this has you itching to give your bedroom an autumn glow-up, you’re in luck! You’ll find all these deliciously cosy pieces at Pillow Talk. Now go forth and layer like a pro!
