Embrace the cosy: Transitioning your home from Summer to Autumn

Join us for an evening of interiors and creativity with Homesense. Supported by décor partners Susan Darley and Paul Kinsella

As we transition into colder months, it’s time to swap lightweight fabrics and summer colours for cosier furnishings. We want to create a warm and welcoming space to take refuge in after a long day, that brightens up the darkest evenings and allows us to be our most comfortable selves. When it comes to achieving exactly that, Homesense has become our go-to. We’ve teamed up with the team at Homesense to bring you an evening of styling advice, top tips and ideas designed to inspire.

But this transformation doesn’t have to be a complete overhaul of your interiors, just a few subtle changes can make all the difference and bring your house from a cheerful summer space to a cosy Autumn den. That’s why we’ve asked the experts to share their top tips for seamlessly transitioning your home this season.

Join us for an inspiring event on Thursday, September 12 where you’ll be greeted with prosecco and sweet treats upon arrival. Then, hear from content creator and interiors enthusiast Susan Darley, alongside creative home and DIY expert Paul Kinsella, in conversation with IMAGE contributing editor Edaein O’Connell as they share their advice on how to create your perfect space with small, impactful changes.

Following the talks, Susan Darley will lead a hands-on dried flower workshop, where you’ll learn the art of preserving nature’s beauty. You’ll leave with your own uniquely creative handcraft dried flower Homesense frame to add a touch of the new season in your home… or would make for a perfect gift. That being said, you’ll also be taking home a gorgeous goodie bag filled with all the essentials to help you get your seasonal homeware shopping started.

In addition, all proceeds from this event—priced at just €20—will support Homesense’s longtime charity partner, Enable Ireland – a charity dedicated to enabling and empowering children and adults with disabilities to achieve independence, choice and inclusion in communities across Ireland.
