Autumn 2024 started out so promising with a golden run of sunny September days…which quickly turned to torrential rain during the final weeks.
It’s now October, and the outlook still isn’t great, with more rain on the horizon as temperatures start sneakily dropping. But staying indoors doesn’t have to be gloomy – especially if you decide to give your space a makeover!
This autumn is all about going big to go home. From plush sofas that you can sink into after a long day to rustic wooden tables that bring warmth and texture, the focus this season is on creating cosy, lived-in spaces where you can relax, entertain, and embrace the autumnal mood.
Here’s a look at the key autumn 2024 trends for larger home furniture items that will elevate your space and add that extra layer of cosiness.
1. Chunky, oversized sofas
One of the biggest (literally!) trends for autumn 2024 is oversized, plush sofas.
Think large, curved, or modular sectionals in soft fabrics like boucle, velvet, and chenille (yes those are all real fabrics) —materials that invite you to curl up with a hot drink and a blanket.
The 2024 colour palette for autumn leans towards warm, neutral tones like caramel, cream, taupe, and earthy browns.
For an extra touch of trendiness, you could consider sofas with rounded edges or asymmetrical shapes, adding a modern twist to traditional cosiness.
2. Rustic wooden dining tables
Rustic wooden tables are making a strong statement in 2024. People are going for large, solid pieces that bring a natural, earthy element into your home and are perfect for family meals or cosy gatherings with friends.
The trend leans towards reclaimed or distressed wood, which adds character and texture, and tables with rough, live edges to bring a bit of the outdoors inside.
If you want to rock this trend, choose dining tables in warm, medium to dark wood tones like walnut, oak, or mahogany.
We’re also seeing people dress the table with natural materials like linen napkins, stoneware dishes, and seasonal centrepieces made of dried florals or pumpkins.
3. Low-profile coffee tables
You might be wondering how a coffee table can be low profile? Well, trust us – they can.
This autumn is all about tables that are large and close to the ground, creating a sleek, modern feel while maintaining a cosy vibe.
Opt for materials like wood, metal, or marble, and look for pieces with minimalist designs that allow other elements in your room to shine.
You could even pair your coffee table with oversized floor cushions or soft area rugs in autumn tones. Accessorize with candles, books, and natural elements like pinecones or branches.
4. Console tables with storage
A practical yet stylish addition to any entryway or living space this season is the console table.
In 2024, these functional pieces are designed with extra storage, making them perfect for tucking away shoes, scarves, or other autumnal accessories.
To nail this trend, choose rich, warm woods or those with brass or matte black finishes add a modern, industrial touch to the décor.
Finally, why not accessorize with woven baskets, large decorative mirrors, or nature-inspired décor like dried grasses or lanterns – just to really lean into this trend?
