As the days shorten and a chill creeps into the air, our homes become our sanctuaries. Our autumn colour palette pairs burnt orange with gentle green to create a balance of warmth and calm. Deep burnt oranges evoke cosy evenings by the fire, while gentle greens bring a soothing, natural balance. Combining these colours using beautiful accessories can transform a room without the need for major renovations. Below you’ll find inspiration and product ideas to help you capture the spirit of the season with Pretty Little Home.
Burnt Orange – the heart of autumn
Burnt orange is often called the queen of autumn colours. A few well‑chosen accents in this shade will instantly warm up your space.
-
Decorative pumpkins & mugs: Place a set of ceramic pumpkins on your fireplace or coffee table to bring a subtle pop of colour. For a practical touch, enjoy your morning coffee or pumpkin‑spice hot chocolate in one of our pumpkin mugs. These pieces carry the burnt‑orange hue beautifully while adding seasonal charm.
-
Soft furnishings & botanicals: Scatter rust‑coloured cushions across your sofa and drape a chunky knit throw over an armchair. Complement them with one of our dried floral bouquets and the new burnt orange eucalyptus spray for extra texture and a hit of seasonal colour.
-
Statement centrepieces: Our ceramic pumpkins (set of 3) make a striking centrepiece on a decorative tray or one of our rattan trays. The matte finish of these pumpkins works perfectly against a gold tray or natural wood.
Gentle green – a calming counterbalance
While burnt orange brings drama, soft green shades such as sea‑foam and sage provide a serene backdrop. Incorporate gentle green in subtle ways to balance your autumn display.
-
Faux botanicals: Our faux stems and artificial eucalyptus offer year‑round greenery without the maintenance. Arrange them in a white ceramic vase or one of our bud vases for a fresh, organic look. Mix in a burnt orange eucalyptus spray to tie the colour palette together.
-
Green glassware: Gentle green glass can be both practical and decorative. Display your favourite drinks in our glass carafes & jugs , or set the table with glass mugs. Their translucent colour complements burnt‑orange ceramics and warm metallics.
-
Subtle accents: A sage green candle or a small houseplant on a wooden stool can add just enough colour without overpowering your space.
Bringing the palette together
Combining warm and cool tones might seem daunting, but it’s easily achieved when you layer textures and materials.
-
Start with a neutral base. A wooden coffee table, neutral rug or cream‑coloured sofa acts as a canvas for your colourful accents.
-
Layer textures. One of our rattan trays filled with ceramic pumpkins ,a burnt orange eucalyptus stem and a green bud vase instantly mixes warmth and softness. Add a cotton tea towel or a wooden chopping board underneath to introduce more tactile elements.
-
Mix metallics and natural finishes. Warm metallics pair beautifully with earthy palettes. Our ceramic & glass candle holders ,feature subtle gold accents that catch the light and elevate the setting.

Cosy lighting and finishing touches
Autumn evenings are made for curling up with a book or catching up with friends. Good lighting enhances the ambience and draws attention to your décor.
-
LED ceramic houses: Our battery‑powered LED ceramic pumpkin houses cast a soft, flickering glow and double as decorative pieces. Cluster them on a mantel or shelf to create a miniature autumn village.
-
Tea‑light holders: Choose from our range of tea‑light holders and candle holders to add warmth. For an extra touch of nature, place them on a slice of wood or next to a small pumpkin.
-
Scented candles: Although this post focuses on colour, scent is equally evocative. A spiced pumpkin or cinnamon‑vanilla candle from our home fragrance range will make your space inviting.
