The Arket homeware we’re buying to refresh our interiors for autumn
Spruce up your space for the new season with the Scandi label’s minamlist furnishings
Much like our wardrobes needing a seasonal refresh, our interiors deserve the same show of love with autumn’s arrival. Whether it’s replacing the sofa cushions, livening up the mantlepiece or investing in statement dishware for dinner parties, new furnishings can make all the difference to your space.
A go-to for Scandi minimalism and timeless takes on trends, you can always rely on Sweden-born label Arket for your closet – and season-after-season, the high street favourite’s homeware offering is just as dependable.
This autumn, it’s all about warming pastels, jute textures, ambient candles and splashings of bolt prints; think dusty pink linen cushion covers, terracotta yellow plant pots, natural-hued woven storage baskets and bright colourful blankets.
Nodding to trends while remaining timeless and classic, Arket’s homeware is designed to last – just like its classic ready-to-wear clothing collections.

Arket’s terracotta flower pot range is a bestseller season after season for good reason. Available in a host of colours, we love the warming yellow glaze for autumn. Coming with a matching saucer with a high rim for any excess water, plants can be placed directly in the pot and can drain well thanks to the a hole in the bottom, while the glazed finish helps prevent dampness.

Whether used as a fruit bowl or brought out to serve guests at a dinner party, it’s a timeless kitchen accessory.
