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.

Stuck for interior inspiration this autumn? Refer to our curated guide below of everything we’re lusting over from Arket’s seasonal interiors line, from vases and candle holders to plates and rugs.

Arket brass candle holder: £22, Independent.co.uk

Though simple in its design, Arket’s candlestick holder is perfect for minimalist tablescaping this autumn. The clean piece is finished with a natural brass glaze with an oxide layer protecting the metal and giving the holder its patina look. The best bit is its stackable design, whether with another brass holder or in the contrasting silver (£22, Independent.co.uk).

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.
