The Fifty: Autumn 25 — A Design-Obsessed Editor's List of the Hottest Homewares to Shop This Season
From tonal colors to decor details inspired by your (cool) Grandma's home, this is an extensive edit of what's caught our editor's eye for the upcoming season
Autumn is the season when it comes to styling — both ourselves and our homes. Light layers are replaced with textures that embrace you, color palettes turn more decadent, decorating becomes more layered, and warm lighting isn't just a mood, but an essential. As the air turns crisp and nights draw in, home takes on a whole new meaning.
It also happens to coincide with the season when predictions for the year ahead are revealed, trends either fade away or settle in for the long term, and style becomes more layered, nuanced, and rich. 2025 has been an interesting year. We've been more playful with our styling, embracing punchy colors and less perfect finishes, and it shows no signs of slowing when it comes to autumn decor ideas.
I'm using the turn of the season to take stock of my home. To clear away any fleeting fads I've already fallen out of love with, and fully embrace those I can now safely say are not just 'stylish', but my style. And that's how I've approached this edit of 50 of the hottest homewares to shop this season. There are pieces you may have seen before, some that feel completely fitting for the season, and others that take the more timeless route. And — importantly — there isn't a pumpkin-scented, -shaped, or -seasoned thing in sight, because I wholeheartedly believe that styling your home for autumn shouldn't be about a theme, but a feeling. And here are 50 homewares that I think capture it.
Anthropologie
Sarita Floral Tapestry
I find art really tricky to source, so tend to lean more towards pieces with a sculptural quality to them, like this stunning textured tapestry from Anthropologie.
La Redoute
Artelo Mottled Ceramic Vase
When it comes to styling autumn foliage, I like to find beautiful ceramic vases to help anchor it. This one, with its painterly strokes, feels handcrafted — without the cost.
Harlie Brown Ceramics
Melted Marble Wiggle Jug
Who said autumn styling has to stick to warm, dark colors? Dare to be a bit different with this beautifully vibrant jug by Harlie Brown Ceramics.
A piece that can do multiple jobs (serve drinks and style flowers) is worth twice as more and costs half the price. At least that's my logic with this seriously cool 'acid' jug.
Jonathan Adler
Snake Embellished Throw
When it comes to cool and slightly abstract homewares, Jonathan Adler is a reliable go-to. This embellished snake throw taps into the animal print trend but elevates it.
Urban Outfitters
Bouquet Floor Lamp
Autumn styling often references nature and it's changing palette, but why not get a bit creative with it — this quirky floor lamp will remind you of brighter days.
Rebecca Udall
Thea Scalloped Pillowcase
Trust me, once you see it (and now you have), you'll start noticing chartreuse everywhere. It's zesty and bright, yet innately grounded in nature. The perfect balance.
SOPHIE LOU JACOBSEN COCO CUP SET, FARFETCHDelicate, dainty, lace-like details are everywhere right now (I should have listened, Gran), and I can't help but see it in these pretty egg cups by Sophie Lou Jacobsen. (Image credit: Sophie Lou Jacobsen)
La Redoute
Qimera Glass Candlestick
This melting ice-like candleholder reminds me of Completedworks (available at SSENSE), but for a teeny-tiny fraction of the cost. Plus, it comes in three sizes.
FERM LIVING
Host Glass Water Glasses
While this set of two water glasses from Ferm Living leans a little more typically green, once they capture the light, they glow with the energetic vibrancy of chartreuse, too.
Octaevo
Yellow Hera Paper Vase
It's made of paper, but can support flowers? This brightly colored paper vase by Octaevo is bound to be a conversation starter at your autumn dinner parties.
Tekla Fabrics
Broderie Anglaise Duvet Cover
Tekla, one of the coolest bedding brands, recently released a Broderie Anglaise bedding range, and it's somehow Grandma-inspired, yet still edgy.
There's nothing quite like switching out your scents to mark the changing of the seasons, and Ambre by Diptyque is one of the best candles for autumn.
Anthropologie
Maeve Faux-Fur Slippers
I was recently introduced to the concept of 'house slippers', and now I've decided they're an autumn must-have. This pair ticks the box for color and texture, too.
Oliver Bonas
Crochet Tablecloth
Could crochet be cool again? Seems so. This crochet tablecloth was part of the Shrimps x Oliver Bonas collection, and it's a blend of Gran-Meets-Boho-Meets-Cool.
Habitat
Wicker Table Lamp
Texture is key when it comes to autumn styling (forget pumpkins, please), and this wicker table lamp is perfect for that. Plus, it will still look good well beyond the season.
H&M
Linen-Blend Cushion Cover
Want proof that styling for autumn doesn't have to be gimmicky? Sometimes the best swap is the simplest: the color of your cushions. This style comes in so many shades.
M&S Collection
Set of 2 Linear Tumblers
There's something about striped glassware that feels pared-back but personality-filled at the same time. While colors are cool, I think this white version is more timeless.
MADE.COM
Kiara Coffee Table in Metal
You bet we're not over the chrome and stainless trend yet, and this edgy coffee table is exactly what your autumn styling needs to lift it out of a too 'rustic' territory.
Graham & Green
Cast Iron Pigeon Figure
If Carrie Bradshaw can make a pigeon handbag cool, why can't you bring it into your home decor, too? Looking for your 'something weird'? You just found it.
HAY KNIT COAT STAND IN BLACK, ROYAL DESIGNIn my small London flat, finding space for all my coats come the cooler season is always tricky, but this sculpted stand from HAY makes it stylish. (Image credit: HAY)
Addison Ross
Green Icy Mini Bob Salt or Pepper Mill
Something that often goes on your set table but doesn't get much thought when it comes to styling? Salt and pepper. Addison Ross' 'Icy' range changes that, though.
Lightstyle London
Gold Eucalyptus LED String Lights
I'm not a big fan of 'fall' decor, but this upgraded take on fairy lights I could get behind. I'm imagining it wrapped around a banister or draped as a table centerpiece.
La Redoute
Othea High Ceramic Vase
A rustic urn will always be a 'yes' in my book, but covered in a vibrant crackled chartreuse glaze? This super-affordable vessel could energize a whole room.
Did you know Livingetc has a furniture range? You do now. And this Umi Dining Bench is such a versatile piece: bench, coffee table, dining chair, you name it.
M&S Collection
Ruffle Layer Jug
We've seen ruffles on our bedding, our pillows, tablecloths, and napkins, but never did I expect to see it on ceramics quite like this. Pretty, sculptural, and so affordable, too.
H&M
Wooden Wall Shelf
Another key design trend I've noticed lately is cabinets of curiosities, though these days they're typically more like shelves (who has the space?) like this one from H&M.
Ferm Living
Tall Parade Shelf
Another style of cabinet of curiosity — the shelves on this stunning piece from Ferm Living are so small they barely function, so take it as an excuse to make it purely about style.
FOOTED MARBLE SERVING BOWL, H&M HOMEIf the under £50 price tag for marble wasn't enough to convince me, seeing this footed bowl styled with stacks of cheese certainly sealed the deal. Birthday cake, anyone? (Image credit: H&M Home)
John Lewis
Metal Bow Candle Holder
You know it — another candleholder! But look how sweet this bow-shape is. Yes, bows are back for festive styling, so I'm getting ahead this season.
Hay
Perforated Wall Cabinet, Small
I recently wrote about how I was seeing perforated surfaces everywhere, and then Hay released this stunning collection... too soon to say I told you so?
TOAST
Sheepskin Hot Water Bottle Cover in Ecru
I've long had this sheepskin water bottle from TOAST on my wishlist. It's the ultimate snuggly season piece, and comes in a gray colorway, if that's more your style, too.
Amie
Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Rosé
The festive season is fast approaching, which means many things, including drinking. I'm taking the chance now to stock up on some stylish non-alco options.
Ferm Living
Abode Cushion
Reminiscent of JW Anderson's 'House' bags and jumpers, this cushion cover is the ultimate ode to your abode. Make a statement with one, or neighborhood with a set.
&Klevering
Onion Jug
Like to take your references to autumnal harvests a bit more literally in your styling? Skip the pumpkin-shaped casserole dishes and reach for this quirky onion jug instead.
TEKLA
Striped Shawl-Collar Robe
We've got hot water bottles and slippers, but what about a robe? The neckline on this striped style by Tekla cuts a sharp silhouette, while staying soft overall.
Artemide
Nessino Table Lamp
A design classic, I actually stole this lamp from Livingetc's lifestyle editor, Gilda Bruno's wishlist. As the days get darker, lighting becomes the focus, so make it a feature.
I've had my eye on one of these weirdly wonderful resin vases ever since I first saw them in NYC. Blending light blue and burgundy, this style feels so on trend for 2025.
TOAST
Stonewashed Cutlery Set in Silver
I'm convinced tumbled stainless is the new 'it' finish for cutlery (I've seen it in so many bistros across Europe this summer), and the shape of this set is to die for.
West Elm
Marble Decorative Box
Can you ever have enough decorative boxes? When they're marble and less than £35, I don't think so. Style it on your kitchen counter, coffee table, nightstand, you name it.
Sofology
Fitzrovia in Chenille Rust
Want an accent chair that's going to make a real statement in your space? This one reminds me of Eileen Gray's iconic Bibemdum Chair (but for a fraction of the cost).
Wildmore
Hand Marbled Igneus Frame
With a picture frame as pretty as this, do you even need a photo? As design writer Olivia Wolfe recently wrote, first we had splatterware, then confetti, next up: marbling.
John Lewis
Velvet Basket Weave Cushion
Basketweave is a technique thought to outdate pottery, so you know it's a timeless design element. In 2025, it's had a resurgence, and this example is one of the best.
Camp Snap
Screen-Free Digital Camera
Anything that gets me off a screen on holidays is a good idea to me. This 'digital' point-and-shoot camera takes up to 2,000 photos and loads straight onto your computer.
Kave Home
Lacquered Arely Shelves
In my humble opinion, floating shelves will never not be fashionable, but it depends on how you style them? In my opinion, treat them like art, and less on about function.
DINOSAUR DESIGN LARGE SWIRLED RESIN JUG, NET-A-PORTERI recently saw these bright blue jugs at a restaurant and they looked so cool juxtaposed against the white linen. Plus, any excuse to support an Australian brand. (Image credit: Dinosaur Designs)
Autumn is an exciting time when it comes to all things style. Predictions are revealed, trends are set, and style evolves into something more layered.
