The Wallace Cotton Ponsonby store has been a community staple for more than a decade, known for its beautiful collections of sustainably produced bedding, sleepwear and homeware.
As the autumn chill sets in, it’s time to update your home with some cosy essentials.
We asked Michelle, the stylist from Wallace Cotton, for her advice.
“Our autumn collection offers a beautiful range of sumptuous fabrics, cosy textures and unique hand-painted designs” says Michelle. “Combinations of colour and pattern on a bed can create different looks and feels. Use a duvet as a colour-carrier to be layered with complementing tones in sheeting and top of the bed items like quilts, throws and cushions.”
Michelle’s top tips for the season:
1. Layer up: As the weather cools down, layering is key. Layer blankets, throws, and pillows on your bed and sofa to create a cosy and inviting look.
2. Add texture: Textured fabrics such as plush velvet and fluffy shearling are perfect for autumn.
3. Embrace autumnal hues: Deep greens, moody blues, elegant black and warm toffee are all perfect for autumn. Incorporate these into your decor with quilts, cushions and pillowcases.
4. Mix and match: Don't be afraid to mix and match different patterns and textures. Style a floral duvet cover with a knitted throw, or a linen button headboard with a gingham check duvet.
5. Bring the outdoors in: Autumn is a great time to incorporate natural elements into your decor. Add seasonal flowers or fresh herbs such as dahlias, camellias, chrysanthemums or rosemary for extra interest, fragrance and colour.
