As autumn approaches, the days get shorter, the evenings darker and the weather colder.  As we retreat indoors, reluctantly, at first, it’s a good time to look around your home. It is time to enjoy snuggling up under a blanket with the fire going and eating soups and strews, while reading a great book or bingeing Netflix. It’s also a good time to think about some new homewares to brighten up your living space, without breaking the bank.

Driftwood Designs has some wonderful designs, with a truly autumnal feel, that are guaranteed to brighten up those darker days. This publisher, design house and retailer incorporates the work of Welsh artist and illustrator Lizzie Spikes whose passion is creating illustrations that can be translated to homewares, cards, prints and so much more. This means her art can be incorporated into people’s everyday lives in the form of oven gloves, lamp shades, coasters, aprons and even clocks.

Here are a few ideas to get your own creative juices flowing:

Sunset and Starlings – Synonymous with autumn is the gathering of starlings and their enchanting murmurations. Driftwood’s Sunset and Starlings design depicts a murmuration over the sea against a warm and colourful sunset, reflecting off the water. The muted blues are broken by warm shades of yellow, orange and red to add a pop of colour to even the darkest room. The design is available as oven gloves to warm your kitchen as you cook or as a lampshade to, quite literally, light up the room.

Mushrooms – Another autumn stalwart is the mushroom, most species of which are gathered during this season. Driftwood has a fun and informative infographic design illustrating no less than 27 different types of mushroom, toadstool and other fungi, plus coding and names of each one. The colourful variety of the species shown make this a jolly design. Perfect for the kitchen, the illustration can be purchased in the form of tea towels, chopping boards, mugs and even a tin sign for the wall. Choose your favourite or go for a matching set.

Autumn Winter Coaster – Perfect to give any coffee table a new lease of life, the Autumn Winter Coaster is a stunning rural design, depicting fields and woodlands as the warm autumn colours merge into the bright whites and blues of winter. With Lizzie’s familiar animals, in the form of fox owl and squirrel, a set of these affordable coasters will definitely brighten up coffee (or wine) time.

Woodland Seasons – If you love the changing of the seasons but don’t want to limit yourself to just Autumn, the Woodland Seasons design transitions through all four seasons. When wearing the Woodland Season oven gloves, the left hand it filled with spring and the design goes through summer and autumn until your right hand sports winter. With badgers, foxes and deer beautifully incorporated in this design, it will never get boring. It is also available as a lampshade, which you could choose to rotate regularly to fit the season – or simply your mood!

With so many designs available in the Driftwood range, you are spoilt for choice. Whether you are looking for autumn-themed designs or just love to add bright colours and artworks to your home,  there is sure to be something beautiful and affordable to brighten up your living space.
