Autumn Sales

Autumn is all about two things: the light, which fades earlier, and the materials, which become heavier. This selection brings together warm-toned artificial flowers, candle holders and votives, and the first hanging decorations of the festive season.

Warming up the palette

Roses, ranunculus, and dahlias appear here in shades ranging from off-white to burgundy. Swap out light summer blooms for two or three ochre or rust-colored stems while keeping the rest—a bouquet is usually best built upon rather than started from scratch. Pine and berries add the deep green tones that last right through to winter.

Adding multiple light sources

When night falls in the late afternoon, a single lamp is no longer enough. Distribute three low-level light sources around the room, including one or two votives; the glass diffuses the flame and shields it from drafts.

Preparing for the season ahead

Autumn is the time to bring out the storage boxes, so it’s worth checking what’s missing before winter arrives. Count any broken hanging ornaments, check if your string lights still work, and restock by material type rather than buying individual pieces. As for seasonal stems, they can be kept from one year to the next—provided they were stored upright.
