It may be July, but for many homeware brands, it’s also the time to unveil their autumn collections for the upcoming season. No exception is high street brand Matalan, and I’m seriously impressed with the grown-up yet cosy style they’ve plumped for.

While I don’t advocate for wishing away summer, now is a good time to start browsing the AW26 collections if you want to keep ahead of the home decor trends of this year. Matalan is an underrated place to look for affordable yet on-trend homeware. The brand has given its pumpkin-esque homeware a grown-up spin, with a neutral colour palette and subtle-y playful motifs.
