From transitioning your wardrobe, to decluttering and getting cosy for autumn, SAM WYLIE-HARRIS looks at how to give your home a seasonal refresh

WITH autumnal tones coming into play, the clocks going back, and getting organised for winter, home comforts are high on the agenda.

"As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, it's the perfect time to give your home (and habits) a seasonal refresh," highlights Lynsey Crombie, @lynsey-queenofclean.
