Rowen & Wren's autumn collection is the perfect curation of characterful yet elevated pieces – these are my top picks

Switching out my rugs is something I do twice a year. Once at the start of March and once at the start of October. They make such a big impact on a room and I think it's one of the easiest ways to update a room for autumn. The Wilma Wool Rug is perfect for my seasonal switch, it's weighty and warm underfoot and the subtle pattern would work perfectly with my almost neutral colour schemes

I'm always in need of some extra chairs at this time of year because I am an autumn hoster. As the days get shorter I would much rather invite people over than go out. The Turner Carver Chair is a classic, it has a vintage look with the quality of a new piece – I love vintage furniture but have broken more vintage chairs than I would care to admit. With this piece, you get the best of both worlds.

I'm lucky enough to spend a few weeks a year in (very very) rural France and this wine cooler so reminds me of pieces I see in the brocantes I frequent when I am over there. It's handmade which explains that really artisanal look and would make for a lovely centerpiece to my cosy autumn evenings hosting.

Patchwork is a trend I am seeing making a comeback for autumn 2024. It's classic, cosy, and has a nostalgic feel for so many of us. Made from 100% linen this quilt is soft and light, perfect for all year round but particularly lovely for throwing at the end of a bed to add an extra layer as the nights get cooler.

To add to my cosy den-like bed, these patchwork throw pillows to prop myself up on. These would also be great for a living room update too, my sofa throw cushions are another thing I like to change when making my autumnal decor adjustments.

My bed becomes even more of a sanctuary in the autumn and winter. Getting into bed early with a book because it's dark and miserable outside is one of the joys of the change in season. So I like to change out my bedding to mark the occasion and the gorgeous detail on this set is the perfect subtle update.

Coffee in bed is my morning ritual. Yes, every morning. It's the perfect relaxing start to my weekdays and I even set my alarm early to ensure I can fit it in. A tray to perch my cup on, or my book and a tea of an evening, is sure to elevate that experience.

During autumn evenings my home is almost solely lit by soft lamps and candlelights. As someone who struggles with the shorter days in winter, one way I combat it is really upping the cosy, cocooning feel once the sun goes down. These sconces would be perfect for creating that atmosphere.

A kitchen table comes into it's own in autumn and winter. Long evenings spent eating and drinking al fresco are replace with intimate, informal candle lit dinners in the kitchen. This is the perfect size and shape for creating a kitchen dining nook too.
