Eight autumnal living spaces dressed in the colours of fallen leaves

Autumn is well on its way in the northern hemisphere. To mark the seasonal shift, we've compiled a lookbook of eight open-plan living rooms cosied up with warm, earthy tones.

From mountainous India to the Scottish coastline, these living spaces combine finishes and soft furnishings that nod to the colours of autumn leaves with views out to nature.

Bid summer farewell and welcome in these eight homey projects from around the world.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides curated visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring marble kitchens, terrazzo bathrooms and homes in former factories.

Zero House, UK, by Rae Morris and Ben Garrett

Zero House is the north London home of recording artists Rae Morris and Ben Garrett, who renovated the mid-century property themselves.

Reeded 1970s-style glass and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors provide views of the property's lush garden and its many trees.
