As we bid a fond farewell to summer and step into the autumn months, the interiors landscape is full of vibrant décor trends that celebrate cosiness and creativity. We think it’s the perfect time to reimagine homes by giving them a glow-up for the cooler months ahead.
From ambient autumn colours to tactile textural contrasts, and sustainable design to retro references, there’s a décor trend to help you create a stylish home haven and reflect your individuality, no matter what your personal style and taste.
We’ve selected some of our latest window blind and curtain fabrics and on-trend looks for window blinds in our round up of Apollo Blinds’ six looks to love this Autumn.
Warm Up with Earthy Tones
Autumn is the ideal time of year for warm, rich tones to take centre stage within the home – think terracotta, olive green, deep ochre, burnt orange, and amber. This gorgeous Vertical blind is from our new collection!
Not only do these shades evoke a sense of welcoming comfort as the weather turns and the nights draw in, but they also mirror the colours of the changing environment and help us to connect to nature.
If repainting a whole room or repapering a wall feels like too much, try introducing a window blind or piece of furniture in your chosen colour instead. Adding complementary accents of dusky pink, soft blue, and muted green via throws, cushions, rugs or wall art is a great way to add depth and variety to your interiors.

Keep it Natural with Sustainable Materials
Sustainability and eco-friendly design continue to be a stand-out trend in interior design, with a rise in eco-friendly fabrics and recycled materials proving increasingly popular for curtains, upholstery, and accessories. Reclaimed wood, bamboo, cork, wool, and rattan will lend a rustic charm to any room, whilst helping to reduce environmental impact.

Step Back in Time with Retro References
Autumn 2024 sees the 70s style revival in home décor aesthetic still going strong, with retro design continuing to captivate.
The charm of buying vintage and second-hand lies in its ability to tell a story, bringing the past into the present with bold geometrics, curved furniture, and unique accessories.
Try introducing a playful colour palette, eclectic graphics, and fun prints, or get into the 70s groove with shades of funky orange, earthy brown, avocado, and terracotta red. Our Wooden Blinds also look fantastic within a retro aesthetic.
Choosing vintage or antique buys at a similar price point to new furniture also taps into the sustainability trend. High quality craftsmanship means these pieces have a naturally longer lifestyle and a smaller impact on the environment.
Get Touchy-Feely with Tactile Textural Contrasts
Layered textures, fabrics, and finishes are an easy way to add visual interest and tactility to your space. Faux fur throws, chunky knit blankets, and velvet soft furnishings evoke a luxurious aesthetic and a sense of warmth that invites you to touch and feel.
Combining sheer Voiles with heavy curtains or lined Roman blinds at a window will add depth and cosiness to the room.
Add Drama with Oxblood Red
Interior design experts are in agreement that oxblood is a trending hue for Autumn 2024. Seductive, warm, and a touch mysterious, this deep red with black undertones is perfect for adding a splash of timeless drama to interiors. Window blinds and other accessories in this colour are a fabulous way to add warmth if you don’t want to go the whole hog and paint every wall.
Wave Hello to Curves & Organic Shapes
Organic shaped homeware, with curved lines and flowing forms inspired by the natural world, provides a relaxed and inviting ambience that helps us feel more connected to the environment.
By moving away from straight edged décor and incorporating smooth, rounded lines and soft wavy shapes, you can evoke a sense of fluidity and tranquillity, essentially softening the overall appearance of your room and creating a natural flow within your space.
You can dip in as much or as little as you like with this one – think arched doorways, curved chairs, oval mirrors, a round table, circular rugs, and a shaped window blind or shutter.
