While nothing beats the fanfare of colour in our autumn here in North America, there's something about British interiors that feels quintessentially autumnal. While I remain in love with Ochre co-owner Harriet Maxwell-Macdonald's New York loft in soft greys and lavender, her previous home in London feels perfect for this season. This home perfectly balances that fine line between clean modern and cozy country charm.

Honey coloured wood, warm gold and soft muted shades give this space a luminous glow that feels so inviting. With multiple fireplaces, cozy reading nooks and a seemingly endless supply of books, I'm quite tempted to hibernate here all winter long.

There's something ethereal and a little bit magic about the Impressions series from the husband and wife photography duo Ted Leeming and Morag Paterson. The way they've captured light in the landscape of the Scottish hills is nothing short of spectacular. They have a haunting, luminous quality that makes you feel like you could just stare at them for hours on end (and I think I have), watching the play between shadows and light.

While it's hard to resist a professionally designed and crafted space, I often find myself most inspired by creative 'real-life' spaces (not that the other ones are imaginary ;) ) . Design*Sponge's Sneak Peek series is always a favourite source of mine for spaces that leave me inspired to use some of the ideas in my own home, using pieces at a palatable price point and  illustrating how sometimes the arrangement of the pieces is what has the biggest impact of all. The recent Sneak Peek of illustrator Bernadette Pascua and fashion photographer Andrew Stinson's apartment in Williamsburg, Brroklyn has remained firmly stuck in my mind since I first saw it. Simple, artful arrangements in my favourite palette of all - black and white is right up my alley and has left me inspired to revamp a few corners of my own space.
