Autumn Textures: Layering Throws and Cushions

When it comes to autumn styling, more really can be more — adding texture, depth and character to your home. At Seddon and Davison, we’re known for our modern rustic style — natural materials, earthy tones and effortless comfort. But, modern rustic doesn’t have to feel cold or minimal.

We like to add metallic accents, rich textures and heritage colours for a touch of warmth and character. This season is all about layering those details with beautiful throws and cushions that make every room feel inviting.

“Don’t be afraid to mix and match textures, patterns and colours — it’s what makes a space feel lived-in and personal.”
 Kara Seddon, Co-Owner - Seddon and Davison

How to Create a Base for Modern Rustic Interiors

As the evenings draw in, start by building a simple foundation for your autumn home styling. Begin with neutral pieces — soft taupe, mushroom or linen shades — that create a calm backdrop. Alternatively, bring in earthy tones — rich browns, deep greens and warm, natural shades — for a look that feels grounded and inviting.

Natural materials like wool, cotton and linen not only look great — they add real texture and depth that man-made fabrics can’t match, creating that relaxed modern rustic look we love.

Mixing Materials and Colours for Autumn Interiors

Autumn is the time to play with contrast — blending textures and tones to create depth. Once your base is set, add layers of warm, natural colour: think cocoa, ochre, olive and pomegranate, alongside mustard, dark gold, copper brown and soft grey for balance. A sofa in earthy green looks beautiful layered with velvet, wool and linen cushions in these shades, creating a relaxed and tactile look that feels rich without being heavy.

Balancing Texture and Comfort at Home

Layering doesn’t mean clutter. For us, it’s about comfort that feels considered. Each piece should feel like it belongs — even if it wasn’t part of a “set.” That’s the beauty of mixing and matching. Keep your palette grounded and let the mix of textures do the work. The result feels balanced, tactile and inviting.
