With so much design inspiration and limited characters, here are our favourite posts of the week. We hope it gives you all the inspo you need.

Warm, autumnal colours as colder weather approaches
With the change of season, I find myself gravitating towards warmer colour palettes and richer textures. This home provides the perfect autumn feel, with shades of brown, yellow ochre, and cream. I always say that homes should feel like they are lived in and not show houses, and this space is a perfect example of that. – Yashna Balwanth, Acting Editor-in-Chief
Comfort, sophistication, and a touch of purple
Exuding elegance and class, with neutral palettes juxtaposed with a pop purple, this living room is pure magic. As someone who has always believed that style and comfort should go hand-in-hand, this stylish space, coupled with the gorgeous couch, caught my eye. A truly romantic space I would love to spend time in. – Kauthar Gool, Digital Editor
Striking sculptural vases
My latest obsession is vases – sculptural vases, to be more specific! I love the anatomy of a body, especially when it is sculptured. When I was an art student, I would sketch live models, and have a great appreciation. I love this vase as it is the mould of a head but it is unique as it is upside down. I love having plants in my house, so I would use it as a planter and make it a centrepiece on my coffee table. – Vine Lucas, Digital Campaign Manager
Keeping it cosy
As we (sadly) approach the winter months, this gorgeously innovative fireplace caught my attention. I love how it ‘folds’ out of the wall like the page of a book – I've never seen anything like it. The rest of the interior plays into my love for neutrals too. – Walter Hayward, Managing & Syndication Editor
Checkmate: Chic candles and an elegant chess motif
As someone who grew up loving board games, I am obsessed with these new candles, which give a modern touch to chess pieces. Candles sure are the new centre pieces for any home. – Taahirah Luddy, Junior Graphic Designer
