5 Luxe Autumn Bedding Styling Ideas & Tips
There's something about autumn that makes it the cosiest season of the year. Warm colours that aren't too bright, tasty food that isn't too rich, and crunchy leaves underfoot in your backyard that help make your daily walk a little bit more magical. It's when we start getting our cosier clothing out of our wardrobes and enjoying sweet, hot drinks as we take in the last bursts of sunny weather before winter. As the temperature drops, staying warm and comfortable at home becomes more and more important - especially when you're trying to fall asleep.
Bringing the essence of autumn into your bedroom can transform it into a warm and inviting haven you'll look forward to snuggling into every night (and maybe even during the day!). Warm colours, fluffy textures and homey decor will all make it easy to relax and warm up in your space, helping you fall asleep quickly and stay asleep all night. At Spotlight, our fabulous range of bedding has something for everyone - whether you want to freshen up your bed with a new stylish throw or need a complete bedding refresh.

1. A Rich, Earthy Tone Colour Palette
If you are looking for autumn bedding inspiration, start by selecting a style or colour palette first. The colours of autumn are all very complementary, and when used in the bedroom will create the feeling of a soft and warm retreat you can hibernate in for as long as you need.
All of our favourite autumn bedding ideas will use classic autumn colours. Warm reds, burnt oranges, yellows and browns will make up the bulk of your autumn hues, but pops of cream, olive and sage green can add some freshness too. These more neutral tones contrast nicely against richer darker tones for a delightful balance between each earthy tone colour palette.
2. Incorporate A Sense Of Nature With Autumn Themed Patterns
Look outside your window for some local autumn inspiration! Native plants are a great source for pattern ideas. Think about shopping for quilt covers with lively nature-themed patterns that reflect the beauty of autumn landscapes. It can be as subtle as a palm tree decal to a more artistic approach with a cover full of botanical elements.
If you're low on time and still wanting to create an autumn aesthetic in your bedroom, looking for patterned quilt covers is an exceptional option due to their captivating yet low-maintenance nature. All you have to do is simply dress your bed with your new bed linen and you'll instantly transform your bedroom into an autumn oasis.
3. Textural Accents To Refresh Your Bedding
Increase the autumn vibes in your space by introducing different textures to your bedding. While shopping for autumn bedding most often involves looking at botanical patterns and the colour palette of the season, you can also incorporate stunning quilt covers with textural details for an added aesthetic charm.
Quilted, tufted or tasselled details on a quilt cover are exceptional for instantly transforming your autumn bedding arrangement into one that is cosy and tranquil. Textured details are often soft to the touch and appear to be cosy due to this texture, evoking a sense of comfort that will leave you feeling ready to rest and unwind in your personal autumn sanctuary.
4. Layering Your Autumn Bedding For A Seasoned Change
Aside from window coverings, bedding is the best thing to spend your money on so you can stay comfortable during the colder months. Choose soft, high-quality fabrics and bed linen - you are sleeping on them all night long after all.
The style of your bed will dictate the aesthetic and tone of the rest of your autumn bedroom decor, so keep this in mind when selecting these key styling items. Layering your bed linen will have you evoking a particular ambience, so it is key to master this arrangement for both the quality of your sleep as well as the overall style of your bedroom.
Start With A Base: Mattress Topper Or Underlay For Warmth and Comfort
Give your mattress a bit of an upgrade using a mattress topper or underlay. These can be used to breathe new life into an older mattress and can make your bed feel softer or firmer depending on the type you get.
If it's a more comfortable sleep you want, look for mattress toppers will wool or down fillings, which are known for their ability to bring softness and warmth to any mattress.

Warm And Breathable Bedsheets
The material your bed sheets are made from will determine if they cool you down or warm you up overnight. As the temperature tends to drop in autumn, you'll want sheets that can keep you warm, although not to the same degree that you'll need in winter. Rather than going straight to your warmest and fluffiest flannelette sheets, look for soft cotton fitted and flat sheets in colours like red, pink, burnt orange, olive, cream or seafoam.
Shop for bedsheets individually or choose a luxurious bedsheet set that will ensure all your sheets, plus your pillowcases, are matching colours for a refreshing cohesiveness.
A Cosy Quilt Cover
Your sheets may keep you comfortable, but the main way you'll keep warm in bed during autumn is with the use of a quilt, duvet or comforter. The topside blankets can be thin and light or thick and fluffy, and it's best to choose one depending on if you are a hot or cold sleeper - naturally warm sleepers will appreciate the light weight of a comforter, while cold sleepers will want to snuggle under a thick and dense quilt.
Look for quilt and duvet covers that will match your autumn theme. Block colours are a solid choice here, although you can also look for lightly textured and even boldly patterned covers that feature flowers, leaves, trees or grasses or grasses for a great autumn bedding choice.
Comfortable Pillows For a Restful Sleep
The place where you rest your head should suit your style of sleeping - do you sleep on your side, back or stomach? The right pillow will ensure you wake up without any neck pain and make sure you're feeling fresh to start the day.
Keep warm in autumn with a wool, feather or memory foam pillow, and make sure to dress it up in a pillowcase that suits your autumn theme. Your pillow is one of the most important autumn bedding ideas, as it will tie your whole bed together - add extra bed pillows and European pillows if you'd like a little extra decor and texture on your mattress.
5. Autumn Bedroom Decor To Complement Your Bedding
Set a cosy mood by lighting your favourite scented candle, or add a chunky knit blanket, cushions or throws with deeper and richer tones for some comforting warmth. Try incorporating some depth and height too, by using fresh foliage on the bedside tables in your favourite vase, or by drying plants and flowers upside down to preserve them.
Woven baskets not only look wonderful but can be used for storage too! Keep excess blankets, bed cushions and even accessories like shoes and bags contained in these natural baskets to keep your space tidy while still on theme.
Fabrics are one of the easiest ways to add warmth to a space. For example, adding sheer curtains over your doors or windows to soften the look works wonders. Adding soft, textured rugs and positioning them under the foot of the bed can also help to soften hard edges on flooring and bed frames.
Nothing is cosier than a huge pile of fluffy pillows and bed cushions. Mix and match and never be afraid to add too many - the more the merrier when it comes to creating a super-comfy look! A delicate mix of rich textiles subtly adds depth and interest to a neutral space.
