There's a nip in the morning air, the evenings are drawing in a little earlier, and I've spotted blackberries ripening on the bushes. I'm not saying it's officially autumn just yet, but I am saying that I'm ready to nest.

Instinctively, I've been looking for little ways to make my home feel softer and warmer, rather than breezy and cool. This transitional styling has a name, "augtober." We're still allowed to enjoy our summer days, but we're also thinking about switching to more candlelight, cashmere, and cooling bedding that now keep us cosy on these cooler mornings.

Inspired by the launch of The White Company's new Autumn Collection, including its collection of transitional bedding that suits muggy nights and chilly mornings, I've put together fifteen finds that will make a home richer, cosier, and more luxurious.

Whether it's a new candle scenting the hallway a cosy Sunday on the sofa, these small buys will make a difference as we move between seasons. If, like me, you find yourself lingering a little longer over the idea of cast iron casserole dishes for cooking your dinner, there are worse ways to fall for autumn.

Laura is woman&home's eCommerce editor, in charge of testing, reviewing and recommending products for your home. You'll see her testing anything from damp-banishing dehumidifiers and KitchenAid's most covetable stand mixers through to the latest in Le Creuset's cast iron collection.

Previously, she was eCommerce Editor at Homes & Gardens, and has also written for Living Etc, The White Company and local publications when she was a student at Oxford University. She is also a Master Perfumer (a qualified candle snob), SCA-Certified Barista (qualified coffee snob) and part of a family who runs a pizza business (long-time pizza snob) - all of which come in handy when you're looking for the best pieces of kit to have kitchen.
