Autumn Living Room Refresh: Boucle, Chenille & Velvet Chairs for Cosy Season

Start Your Autumn Refresh with Texture

As the evenings get darker and temperatures begin to drop, autumn is the perfect excuse to make your living room feel a little warmer and more inviting. You don’t necessarily need to redecorate the entire space - introducing one new texture can be enough to change its atmosphere. Boucle, chenille and velvet are particularly well suited to the season, bringing softness and depth to a room while working with everything from contemporary to more traditional interiors. 

Boucle: Soft, Neutral and Easy to Style

Boucle is a natural choice for anyone who likes the cosy look but wants to keep their living room feeling light and contemporary. Its distinctive looped texture adds warmth without needing bold patterns or colours, particularly in white, cream and soft sage green. For an understated autumn look, combine a boucle chair with warm neutrals, natural wood and a soft floor lamp, then introduce seasonal colour through smaller details such as rust, brown or forest-green cushions. Selected boucle styles are included in the current Autumn Sale, including designs from the Selma, Atrani and Mirielle ranges, so you can introduce autumn texture without completely changing your existing interior.

Chenille: Made for a Cosy Corner

If comfort is the priority, chenille accent chairs are particularly suited to the cosy season. The soft, textured surface gives a living room a relaxed feel and works beautifully with autumnal shades such as sage green, beige, brown and deeper greys. Try our Liana wingback chair and think about positioning it beside a small table and reading lamp to turn an unused corner into somewhere you’ll actually want to spend time as the nights draw in. Rather than adding lots of seasonal decorations, bring in a warm throw, a textured cushion and softer lighting - simple changes that can make the space feel ready for autumn without becoming overly themed.

Velvet: Bring in Richer Autumn Colour

Autumn is also a great opportunity to introduce deeper colour, and few fabrics handle rich shades quite as well as velvet. Bottle green, navy, teal, orange and sage can add depth to an otherwise neutral living room, while the smooth finish provides a contrast against knitted throws, wooden furniture and textured rugs. The velvet chair collection includes everything from accent and wingback styles to chairs with matching footstools. Think about this Azura chair. If you want your seasonal refresh to make more of a statement, one colourful velvet chair can be enough - there’s no need to coordinate every cushion and accessory around it.
