Seasonal Furniture Styling Tips: Elevate Your Space with HSL Chairs
Here at HSL, we build feel-good furniture that’s made to last. But sometimes you want to add a seasonal refresh to your home decor – and that’s where seasonal styling comes in. Whether you’re looking to add an autumnal flourish or make your space cosy for the winter months, our seasonal styling tips will help you transform your living space throughout the year. Find out how to style your HSL chairs to create a versatile and inviting atmosphere, whatever the time of year.
Spring Styling Tips
Light and Airy Ambiance
Spring is all about fresh starts, long days, and better weather. To capture that spring feeling in your home, you’ll want to incorporate light and airy elements.
Neutral HSL chairs like the Buckingham Fireside Chair in Moon 'Minsmere Fern' or the Burrows Relax Power Recliner in 'Sleadale Airforce' are perfect all year round. Spruce them up for spring with pastel-coloured throws and cushions to complement the neutral tones of these chairs. Opt for patterned cushions for added interest, or choose block colours for a more muted look.
Summer Styling Tips
Vibrant Color Palette
You may want to inject a vibrant colour palette into your living space in summer – so your home will feel summery, even if the weather outside doesn’t. Breathe life into your home by swapping heavy fabrics for lighter ones – pack away your heavy woollen throws, and replace them with lightweight throws, or drape a soft, colourful blanket over the back of your chair.
Bold furniture choices look great during the summer months, like the elegant Glenmore 2 Seater Button Back Sofa in ‘Opulence Blue’ – bright and beautiful on its own, and even more vibrant with some brightly coloured scatter cushions. Go for colours like sky blue, coral and sunshine yellow to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Autumn Styling Tips
Warm and Cosy Atmosphere
Autumn is the season for snuggling up inside with a good book, a cosy blanket and a warm cup of tea. Embrace the season by adding warm-toned cushions and throws to your chairs.
Muted florals are also perfect for autumn, like the Knaresborough Snuggle Chair in Warner House in ‘Georgiana Archive’, an elegant linen fabric featuring a stylised poppy. Alternatively, the Glenmore Fireside Chair in Moon 'Solway Check Olive' adds rustic charm. Both chairs are beautifully autumnal as they are – or create an inviting atmosphere with soft woollen or crocheted blankets in colours like burgundy, forest green and burnt orange.
Indoor Comfort
As the days get shorter, make your indoor space feel extra inviting. Position a floor lamp beside your HSL chair to create warm gentle lighting that’s perfect for relaxing in the evenings. Add a coffee table or small side table as well to create the perfect cosy nook for settling down with your latest book. Complete the look with a soft throw or a few favourite decorative accents to add that final touch of warmth and personality to your space.
Winter Styling Tips
Creating a Cosy Retreat
Winter is the perfect time to transform your home into a cosy retreat. Embrace warmth and comfort indoors by draping plush throws over your HSL chairs and adding oversized cushions to create an inviting space that’s the perfect antidote to the colder weather.
The Ripley Power Recliner in 'Windsor Plain Silver' is perfect for unwinding, while the Glenmore Fireside Chair in Moon 'Solway Check Teal' adds a pop of seasonal colour – both creating a wintery ambiance whether you pair them with a luxurious woollen throw or let them take pride of place in your living space.
Lighting and Ambiance
Don’t forget about lighting when it comes to creating a cosy winter ambiance. A combination of floor lamps and soft, twinkling string lights casts a warm, inviting glow over your seating area.
Floor lamps offer focused lighting that’s perfect for reading or relaxing in your armchair or riser recliner chair, while fairy lights are soft and sparkling, adding a festive touch to the room. Together, this creates a lovely layered lighting effect that helps to create a comfortable, cosy atmosphere during the winter season.
Year-Round Styling Tips
Neutral Colour Schemes
A neutral colour scheme is the perfect choice for your HSL chairs, offering you a blank canvas which will work beautifully with seasonal decor changes throughout the year. Neutral fabrics, like the Bramham Power Recliner in 'Morar Dove' or the Ascot Power Recliner in 'Trieve Ash' give you a versatile foundation. These neutral shades look great as they are, but they’re also perfect paired with either bold or subtle accents, depending on the season.
By keeping your core pieces neutral, you can easily refresh your space with throws, cushions, and decorative accessories that reflect each season’s colours and textures – giving you the opportunity to update the look of your living space throughout the year without changing your main furniture pieces.
Adaptable Furniture Ideas
Consider versatile furniture pieces that allow you to easily swap out accessories and décor elements to match the changing seasons. Accessories like ottomans and footstools give you the opportunity to add a colourful focal point to your space, without investing in entirely new furniture every time you want to give your room a seasonal refresh.
