Renovate and Repair
Autumn is ideal time to give your home the TLC it deserves before winter arrives. It’s a great time to tackle those maintenance tasks you may have been putting off—like cleaning out gutters, removing moss from the roof, and repairing fences. By taking care of these now, you can prevent any unpleasant surprises during the colder months.
Noticed a draft in your home last winter? Or perhaps you’ve been dealing with a broken window latch? Our Bespoke team is here to help you replace faulty windows and doors before the chill sets in. Upgrading to energy-efficient frames can help keep your home warmer while also lowering heating costs. Want to learn more?

‘Dark Academia’ and Colour Drenching
Imagine candlelit rooms, a good book by the fire, and deep, moody colours. This season’s ‘Dark Academia’ aesthetic is all about creating a cosy room with rich, dark hues. ‘Dark academia’ goes hand-in-hand with the continually popular trend of colour drenching, where you commit to one bold colour throughout a room. Think deep greens or a burgundy (Homes & Gardens’ top pick!), which perfectly capture the feeling of autumn.
Did you know that we offer a trim spraying service? This means we can supply you with windows trims in over 150 RAL colours! Bring a colour swatch of the perfect dark grey or blue and we will make sure your windows fit your room perfectly.
If you’re hesitant to go all in, start small—try changing a lampshade or dyeing cushion covers to bring this look into your space without a committing to paint or wallpaper.
70s Revival and Earthy Tones
Earthy tones remain a staple for home projects this season, aligning with the ongoing 70s revival in both fashion and décor. Warm, muted colours are taking center stage in living rooms and kitchens, complemented by a return to darker wood finishes like mahogany and walnut.
Looking to capture this aesthetic outside? We supply window trims in a range of beautiful, foiled finishes, such as Rosewood and Mahogany. If you’re thinking about upgrading your roofline, consider matching or contrasting your windows with fascias and soffits in darker tones like Anthracite or Matt Black. Renovating your roofline improves your home’s thermal insulation, ensuring that birds and other critters are not nesting in your loft, and protecting your home from the elements.
‘Quiet Luxury’ and Chrome Accents
The ‘Quiet Luxury’ trend is about understated elegance, featuring high-quality, minimalist pieces that reflect sophistication without the need for flashy branding. This design style, which started on social media and in the world of fashion, is making its way into homes this autumn, offering a timeless and aspirational look.
Aluminium bi-fold doors capture this trend beautifully. With sleek designs and excellent thermal efficiency, they keep your home warm while offering a clear view of the outdoors. Matt Black and Anthracite Grey slimline frames add a contemporary feel without overwhelming the space. To complete the look, chrome hardware provides a striking contrast against the darker colour palettes of ‘Dark Academia’ and 70s-inspired décor. Our Bespoke team can help you design the perfect bi-fold unit for your home, to any specification, including chrome handles for that extra touch of luxury.
Our showroom in Chichester has stunning examples of bi-folds with a range of different finishes and hardware. Get in touch with our Bespoke team at [email protected] or by calling 0345 021 3333 to book a visit.
Get Cosy This Autumn
Start by ensuring your home is fully insulated and energy-efficient—checking gutters, the roofline, windows, and doors will help keep the warmth in and the heating bills down.
If you want to refresh a space without the hassle of painting, consider internal panelling. We offer Zest wall panels in a range of colours and designs, perfect for a quick, stylish renovation of your kitchen or bathroom. These panels are easy to install, clean, and maintain – no grouting required.
It can’t be all work and no play! Get cosy this autumn in a super comfy armchair, or squishy sofa, watching a movie with the family.
