I suspect that is it! Summer I mean.

We are truly into autumn, with winter approaching, and I for one am quite pleased about that really.

We have had the best summer of happy days boating and walking the fells without galoshes. Wonderful! And it will be back next year won’t it?

So for me the summer wardrobe is out and the winter wardrobe in - and as with décor, the warm tones are upon us.

The colder it gets the more texture I tend to ladle on, both myself and soft furnishings.

The popular tweeds, plaids and velvets really come into their own at this time of year.

It never seems quite right to add heavy chocolates and other milky drinks to a spring or summer scheme, unless it has its sharp accent of Granny Smith.

Our signature soft greys - Portland, Flake, Ammonite, Cornforth, Dempsie, Hardwick white - work beautifully through the seasons as a back drop.

Its the accent colours we add that create a bit more depth and weight to this time of year.

Out with the fresh limes, citrus yellows and baby blues and in with the tobaccos, olives, mustard (always a favourite), aubergine and burnt orange.

Since our visit to the Copenhagen trade fair in the summer, the interiors market is awash with simple Scandinavian styled furniture and furnishings as predicted.

It’s just taken fifty years to come round again.

If this styling is something you enjoy then I would either look in the attic or at Grandma’s and see if you could be one of the lucky ones to find an original in need of TLC, or shop around at places like Skandium or Aram.

These are the bigger retail suppliers of gorgeous furnishing from Carl Hansen, Skagerak, Brdr. Kruger, Arne Jacobsen, Vitra and Trip Trap.

For flooring from Denmark, try Dinesen soft wide plank wood, and lighting from Louis Poulsen, Secto, Gubi and Lampefeber who, along with our selection of the best of Danish design, will all feature in our site over the next few months.

Our aim at Nielsenhouse.co.uk is to mix these products and items into our schemes.

We want to show our client base how to co-ordinate and match simple linear and organic shapes with thick textiles, tactile fabrics and colour.

If you are keen to try we will help you move out of comfort zone and perhaps surprise yourself with what you can achieve. We are keen to help.

And hopefully this contemporary but classical combination will be around for another fifty years.
