This morning, on my walk to Style at Home HQ, I felt a definite nip in the air – autumn is here! And I say it with glee, as the colours at this time of year are my favourites.

#askSAH Q I would love to hang log-effect wallpaper in my house but I’m not sure how I should style around it. Any clever ideas?

As we’ve done here, opt for creams and greys and give a nod to the woodland trend with a stag cushion. Got a burning styling question? Tweet it to editor Lizzie@styleathomemag.
