As the days grow shorter and the evenings turn cooler, our homes naturally shift into a place of comfort and retreat. Autumn is a season for slowing down, recharging, and enjoying the beauty of changing light and colour, and with a well-designed garden room, you can enjoy all of that right at your doorstep.
Whether you’re already enjoying your space or planning to build one soon, now is the perfect time to think about how to make your garden room ready for Autumn.
Comfy & Cosy
One of the biggest advantages of a Hawksbeck garden room is that it’s built with high-performance insulation, double glazing, and heating systems designed for year-round use. This means your garden room can stay warm and inviting throughout the chillier months without compromise.
For added seasonal warmth, think about incorporating soft furnishings like rugs, throws, and cushions in rich, earthy tones. Layering textures like wool, velvet and faux fur, can instantly give the space a more autumnal feel, while also making it physically cosier.
Lighting for Shorter Days
Natural light is still important in autumn, especially as it becomes more limited. Our garden rooms are designed to maximise daylight with large windows, doors, and even skylights for those that love to stargaze. But as sunset creeps earlier, your artificial lighting becomes just as vital.
Consider adding layered lighting to your space – bright task lights for work, warm ambient lighting for evening relaxation, and perhaps even some subtle accent lights for atmosphere. A combination of ceiling lights, wall sconces, and floor or table lamps can help create a flexible, soothing mood as the day winds down.
Autumn Joys In Your Garden Room
One of the joys of autumn is staying warm while watching the outdoors shift in colour and texture. A garden room lets you do just that. With full-height glass doors or picture windows, you get to witness the seasons change while remaining comfy and cosy indoors!
Add a cosy seating area near the window or doors, and it becomes the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee, a good book, or a glass of wine as the sun sets.
Make It Yours for the Season
Seasonal styling can go a long way in helping your garden room feel like part of your autumn routine. Think natural materials, seasonal scents (like cedar, fig, or spiced orange), and simple decorative touches: a vase of dried grasses, a woven basket for blankets, or a small pumpkin display by the door.
Whether you’re using your garden room for work, wellness, hosting, or just quiet moments, it’s easy to make it feel special this season.
Change of Season
Autumn invites us to slow down and settle in and with the right touches, your garden room becomes a peaceful retreat that supports all the best parts of the season. At Hawksbeck, we design garden rooms to be enjoyed all year round; built for comfort, connection, and everyday living, whatever the weather.
