“It has been a hugely exciting 60th anniversary year for Habitat, celebrating our heritage while signalling to the future through the launch of our 60 Years of Design collection.
Our talented 28-strong design studio along with the product development teams have curated three new stories for Autumn Winter 2024 that unite a series of affordable, new season pieces, with products from this year’s compelling brand collaborations and wider collections. Quality and enduring design is at the heart of our products and we’re proud to offer a breadth of styles to suit different types of homes and budgets.
The season welcomes new statement investment pieces, alongside smaller accessories and homewares for quick interior updates, and our Autumn Winter collection also includes our new Made-to-Order offering, where 14 different sofa styles will be available in multiple fabric, leg and shape options. We are also excited to be launching an exclusive home and furniture collection with Morris & Co in September, who our in-house design studio have worked with to create thoughtful and modern designs that nod to the artworks and heritage of William Morris. Lastly, we’ve expanded on our lighting and occasional furniture ranges to create even more versatile and affordable pieces for the home.”
Hannah Mallett Habitat Director of Product
Habitat is widely available online at Habitat.co.uk and Argos.co.uk, as well as in selected Argos and Sainsbury’s stores.
OPULENT EMBERS
Opulent Embers exudes decadent luxury, inspired by the dramatic colours of Icelandic landscapes. From the moody indigo hues of evening winter skies to the rich amber of volcanic lava, the collection embraces autumnal, sophisticated opulence. Gold, marble and glass accessories are woven throughout, complemented by handmade glazed ceramics and underscored by warming wood textures. This style is made for cosy winter evenings with friends and family, be it lounging on cocooning upholstered furniture in front of the fire or hosting low-lit dinner parties.
Scent of the season: White Suede & Amber Fragrance starting from £3.50 across candles, diffuser and incense.
TERRACOTTA TONES
“We’ve built out our furniture and homeware offering in an array of earth tones ranging from a bolder orange hue to deeper shades of amber and rust, which all promote a warm, harmonious feel when used across interior spaces. With nods to mid-century design, these terracotta shades hold a nostalgic appeal and we’ve added tactility and depth using a variety of textures, from high shine finishes and dappled glassware to soft organic cottons and plush velvet accents.”

KALEIDOSCOPIC JOY
Kaleidoscopic Joy is all about modern maximalism. It injects energy and eclecticism into interiors, celebrating rich, bright colours and statement pieces for the home. Whimsical design details include wavy silhouettes, from side tables to vases, picture frames, bobbin woodware, and retro geometric prints that all come together to spark joy. Colour clashing is key, and bold primary shades are enhanced with lacquered and powder-coated finishes that pair with warm wooden furniture and accessories. The underlying Scandinavian influence comes from this year’s Habitat x Scion collection, featuring graphic retro patterns and mid-century shapes.
Scent of the season: Pomegranate & Amber Fragrance starting from £3.50 across candles and diffusers.
THE LOOK HABITAT LOVES: CONVERSATIONAL COLOUR
“Colour plays such an important part in our homes, it not only allows us to express our personal style, but it can also uplift our mood. We’re continuing to look to bold palettes, incorporating vibrant pastel and pop art shades across furniture, textiles and accessories to evoke the senses. We’ve paired these bold hues with sculptural and playful shape and form to accentuate movement and spark joy.”

TREND ALERT: ACCENT TABLES
“The accent table is a highly underrated piece of furniture. They add depth to a space, enhance larger pieces and in practical terms, offer a multitude of functions, from a place to rest a drink, your feet or a laptop. They’re also easy to move around the home for quick interior updates. Because of this, we have continued to expand our imaginative table offering with a wide range of affordable designs, from the whimsical to the adaptable.”

FOREST RETREAT
Forest Retreat evokes British woodlands, championing rural simplicity with a contemporary slant for a feeling of escapism. A blend of raw materials and patterned pieces are unified by earthy hues of moss and sage green, offset by more neutral shades of ivory and sand. Natural textures sing in this collection, with hand-blown frosted glassware, embossed ceramics, quilted fabrics and rustic woollen throws, underscored by a series of solid oak furniture for a sense of uniformity. With a subtle hint to cottagecore, check, striped and gingham home accessories sit alongside textiles from the new Habitat x Morris & Co. collection.
Scent of the season: Frosted Cedar Fragrance starting from £3.50 across candles in a variety of sizes.
MATERIAL MATTERS: OAK
“Our furniture celebrates the timeless beauty of natural wood grain, with our expertly crafted oak pieces taking centre stage this season. Solid oak is a true investment in quality, renowned for its durability and rich character. The warm, ashy blonde hue of our oak complements a variety of design aesthetics, from Scandinavian minimalism to being stylishly timeless. This furniture is built to last a lifetime, becoming a cherished heirloom that enriches your home for generations to come.”
