As the cool breeze of autumn rolls in, it’s time to think about giving your home a seasonal refresh. Autumn 2024 interior trends are all about blending comfort with style, bringing together warm colours, natural materials, and smart finishes. Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast looking to tackle some projects, or a pro ready to offer the latest trends to your clients, we’ve got the scoop on what’s hot this season—and how the right sealants, adhesives, grouts, and expanding foams can help you get the job done.
Cosy Up with Warm, Earthy Tones
Autumn is the perfect time to embrace a warmer colour palette. This year, we are seeing a surge in deep, earthy tones like rich terracotta, burnt orange, and olive green. These colours create a welcoming vibe that’s perfect for the cooler months. They’re ideal for everything from accent walls to furniture and decor.
But it’s not just about paint. When working with these colours, you’ll want to make sure your finishing touches blend seamlessly. Think about matching your sealant to your chosen colour scheme for a polished, cohesive look with Mapesil AC’s wide coloured silicone range. And if you’re laying new tiles in one of these warm hues, Mapei Ultracolor Plus Grout has the perfect shade to complement your project, which also conveniently match up with the Mapesil sealants!

Nature-Inspired Materials
Bringing the outdoors inside is a big for Autumn 2024 interior trends, with natural materials like wood, stone, and leather taking centre stage. These materials add texture and warmth to any room, making it feel more inviting. Whether you’re installing wooden beams, stone countertops, or leather accents, the right adhesive is key to making sure everything stays in place.

Statement Lighting
Lighting is the unsung hero of interior design, and this autumn, it’s taking centre stage. Statement lighting fixtures, like oversized pendants or sculptural floor lamps, are a must-have. They not only brighten up your space but also serve as a focal point that can transform the entire look of a room.
For those who are handy with tools, installing new lighting fixtures can be a rewarding DIY project. Just make sure to choose a finish that complements your overall colour scheme—think matte black for a modern edge or brushed brass for a touch of vintage charm.
Letting natural light flood in where possible – another element of Autumn 2024 interior trends, is embracing the outdoors and letting nature in. If you’re going all out and ambience this trend is a big way, matching a vintage bronze window frame and sealant is a must. Tying this small detail in will give your haven a seamless and polished finish.

Textured Walls for a Unique Touch
If you’re looking to make a big impact with minimal effort, textured walls are where it’s at.

Rainbow has a brand new CUSTOM matching sealant which allows any paint or colour finish to be matched. So, if you’re leaning into a Dead Salmon pink from Farrow & Ball, or a Fennel White from the Dulux Heritage range and are having trouble matching it, we now have the power to match all this and more!
