Why Autumn Colour Matters in the Home
Why Autumn Colour Matters
Here’s nothing more inviting than a rust or orange wool throw, ready to keep you cosy when the nights turn cold.
Colour plays a decisive role in how a space feels. Autumn’s palette is rooted in nature: greens for grounding, rusts for warmth, yellows for vibrancy, and blues for calm. When paired with natural materials like wood, stone, and wool, these tones create timeless, layered, and inviting interiors.
A wool throw in the right shade can instantly transform a sofa, armchair, or bedroom. It’s a small styling change with a significant impact.
Forest Green: Grounded & Calming
Green continues to dominate interiors in 2025, but this autumn the focus shifts to deeper, forest tones. Think mossy woodland walks and evergreen hedgerows.
- Our Klippan Zig Zag Basil Wool Throw captures this perfectly with its textured herringbone pattern.
- For a softer green, the Velvet Avocado wool throw is a perennial bestseller, striking the balance between fresh and grounding.
Pair green throws with neutral linens or oak furniture to create a calm, biophilic-inspired space.
Rust & Terracotta: Warm & Inviting
Few colours feel more autumnal than rust. This year, earthy oranges and terracottas are trending not only in textiles but also in wall colours and accessories.
- The Velvet Rust Wool Throw from Klippan brings instant warmth to any corner of the home.
- Its rich tone pairs beautifully with creams, taupes, and darker woods, making it versatile for traditional and modern spaces.
Rust tones are particularly effective in living rooms, encouraging relaxation and a sense of cocooning.
Saffron & Mustard: A Golden Glow
Yellow in autumn takes on a saffron or mustard richness. These shades carry the vibrancy of summer but with a warmth that suits colder days.
- Our Hugo Saffron Recycled Merino Throw combines sustainability with golden warmth.
- The Yellow Gotland Multi Throw adds depth with its mix of natural grey Gotland wool and sunny accents.
A saffron throw can brighten a neutral space and pairs beautifully with blues and greens. It’s the colour of cheerfulness, perfect for shorter days.

Deep Blues: Calm & Cocooning
Blue has quietly become a core autumn shade, offering depth and serenity. This year, navy and smokey blues are especially on trend.
- The Blue Gotland Wool Throw has a lustrous depth thanks to the natural properties of Gotland wool.
- For a more patterned option, the Blue Block Check Wool Throw is a five-star favourite among our customers.
Blue pairs beautifully with warm neutrals and saffron, creating balance in any room.
How to Style These Shades Together
The beauty of this year’s palette is how well the colours work together. Picture a living room layered with a forest green throw on one armchair, a rust throw draped across the sofa, and a saffron throw folded neatly in a basket for cosy evenings. Add a blue throw in the bedroom for balance, and you have a home that feels cohesive, seasonal, and effortlessly stylish.
