Interior Trends: Autumn/Winter 2024

As the seasons shift and we look to embrace the crisp air of autumn and the cosy embrace of winter, our homes too yearn for a transformation. This year, interior design trends are offering a rich tapestry of styles, catering to every taste and mood. Read on, as we delve into the captivating trends to see us through autumn/winter, exploring how you can easily incorporate them into your living spaces to create a home that truly reflects your personality and the spirit of the season.  

For autumn/winter 2024, the cosy and idyllic charm of Cottagecore Chic is taking centre stage. Inspired by the romanticised vision of rural life, it brings a sense of warmth, simplicity, and connection to nature into your home.  

Cottagecore Chic celebrates the beauty of everyday moments and simple pleasures. Think freshly baked bread cooling on the windowsill, wildflowers gathered in a vintage vase, and hand-knitted blankets draped over antique furniture. It’s a trend that invites you to slow down, appreciate the little things, and create a haven of tranquillity in your home.  

This trend allows pastel tones, sage greens, dusty roses and warm terracotta to dominate the colour palette, enhancing the connection to nature. It celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the charm of vintage treasures. Think antique furniture, floral prints, and mismatched crockery.  

Cottagecore Chic is a trend that encourages you to express your individuality and create a space that is uniquely yours. Does this sound like a trend for you? If so, look no further than Spode’s Morris & Co. Collection to bring Cottagecore Chic effortlessly into the home. Floral heritage patterns adorn tableware and linens in soft pinks, greens and yellows to help create a home that feels like a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 

Love it or hate it, leopard print is having a moment this year. An iconic pattern, synonymous with glamour and confidence, it’s making a bold statement in homes across the globe for A/W 2024. 

Once considered daring and provocative, leopard print has now earned its place as a timeless classic. It adds instant personality and a touch of edgy sophistication to any space. From subtle accents to full-on statements, there’s a way to incorporate this fierce pattern that suits any style. Think plush leopard print throws draped over neutral sofas, statement cushions adding a pop of pattern to armchairs, or even a daring leopard print rug anchoring a living room. It’s a trend that invites you to embrace your inner wild side and infuse your interiors with a touch of fearless glamour.  

For autumn/winter, we’re seeing leopard print paired with unexpected elements for a fresh and modern take, such as juxtaposed with soft pastels, bold geometrics or even natural textures like wood or rattan. For us, we’ve paired it with bright florals and mysterious creatures across our intriguing Creatures of Curiosity collection. Styled with vibrant, deep shades it creates an inviting tablescape that encourages you to have fun.  

The Midnight Blues trend, as highlighted by Press Loft, brings the deep, rich tones of the night sky into your home, creating a sense of enchantment and festive sophistication.  

Midnight blue, a colour often associated with mystery and depth, adds a touch of dramatic elegance to any space. This season, it’s taking centre stage in festive decor, creating a captivating backdrop for festive celebrations. Think deep blue velvet ribbons adorning your Christmas tree, blue and white ornaments shimmering under the soft glow of the fairy lights, and plush throws in shades of indigo adding warmth and texture to your living spaces. Complemented by metallic silvers and golds, this trend creates a luxurious and festive atmosphere.  

Embrace the Midnight Blues trend with our iconic Spode Blue Italian and Steccato collections. Choose between statement stripes and the classic Italianate scene or mix and match the two for a heritage meets modern aesthetic. Styled with unexpected elements, such as natural greenery or even pops of vibrant colour like fuchsia or emerald green, it offers a fresh and contemporary take on your celebrations. 

The charm of retro design continues to captivate, with Autumn/Winter 2024 seeing the Nostalgic Joy trend blending vintage finds with cosy, modern textures for a space that feels both timeless and inviting.  

Think well-loved quilts draped over plush sofas, hand-embroidered cushions adorning armchairs, and rustic wooden accents adding a touch of nature’s warmth. It’s a trend that invites you to curl up with a good book and cup of tea, embracing the magic of the season. Heavily influenced by the ever-popular ‘Grandmacore’ aesthetic that has captured hearts across Pinterest and TikTok, Nostalgic Joy is a celebration of all things wholesome and comforting.  

As the festive season approaches, this trend translates into a serene and heartfelt ‘Hallmark’ approach to Christmas decorating. Think twinkling fairy lights, natural greenery, and Santa-shaped baubles. For your table, Spode’s iconic Christmas Tree collection, with its whimsical design and festive colours, instantly transports us back to cherished childhood memories. Pairing this timeless collection with vintage cutlery and linen napkins adds a touch of nostalgic magic to your festive get-togethers.
