September always feels like the start of a new year to me. It’s this time of year that I like to make big changes - organising my wardrobe, cutting my hair, and making updates to my home. That back-to-school feeling never fades as you age, and combined with the lure of a new season, it provides the incentive for making changes.
This year it feels even more important to create a cosy ambience in our homes, with the threat of a second wave of Covid-19 forcing us to spend more time at home this winter. Here are a few subtle changes I will be making to my own home over the coming months, along with suggestions for how to make your own place more autumnal.
