October Bedding: How To Give Your Bed A Seasonal Makeover

There is a particular sense of ease that arrives with October bedding, as the pace of life softens, evenings grow quieter, and home naturally becomes the place where you want to spend more time. The shift is subtle but noticeable. Windows stay closed a little longer in the morning, layers appear on chairs, and the bed starts to feel less like a functional space and more like a place of comfort and retreat.

When the seasons change, the bedroom is often the first space that asks for attention. Not through a full redesign, but through small, thoughtful updates that reflect how you want to feel at the end of the day. Bedding plays a central role in that transition. It is what you see first, what you touch most, and what sets the mood for rest.

If you are looking to bring an October feel into your bedroom without overwhelming the space, a few considered changes to colour, texture, and atmosphere can make all the difference.

Polka Dot Cotton Duvet Cover Bedding Set

1. Start With Colour: Embrace the Warm Glow of Orange

Nothing reflects October bedding quite like shades of burnt orange, rust, or pumpkin spice. They bring instant warmth to even the simplest rooms.

Our Red Orange Polka Dot Cotton Percale Duvet Cover Set is a lovely way to invite the season in. The playful dots soften the boldness of orange, keeping things cheerful yet refined. It suits both minimal and vintage-inspired bedrooms. Pair it with neutral throws or cream cushions for a balanced, layered look that feels snug yet light.

2. Layer Textures, Not Just Colours

October décor is all about creating depth. Think of it like dressing for the weather, you layer to stay warm but still look put-together. The same rule applies to your bed.

Try mixing a crisp cotton percale base with a brushed cotton blanket or a knitted throw. The subtle sheen of percale contrasts beautifully with heavier textures, giving your bed a naturally inviting look without feeling stuffy.

3. Bring Calm With Soft Grey and Nature-Inspired Prints

For those who prefer cooler tones or a calmer aesthetic, a grey bedding set can feel just as seasonal, only in a quieter and more elegant way.

The Pure Cotton Percale Duvet Cover Set in Grey Floral captures this harmony perfectly. One side features delicate white ditsy florals with olive branches on a cool grey background, while the reverse is plain grey, offering two moods in one. It’s perfect for that transitional weather when you want your room to feel fresh by day and cocooned by night.

4. Don’t Forget the Scent and Lighting

You’d be surprised how much a candle or a diffuser can do for your space. Opt for earthy or spicy notes such as sandalwood, clove, cedar, or fig. A warm, dim bedside lamp with a linen shade will make your October bedding glow softly at night, creating that gentle “end of the day” calm we all crave.

5. Keep It Real and Sustainable

As much as October décor is about warmth and comfort, it’s also a good time to think about quality. All Leruum London bedding is made from 100% long-staple cotton percale, 200 thread count, and OEKO-TEX certified for your peace of mind. You’re not only bringing seasonal beauty into your home but also choosing bedding that breathes, lasts, and supports more sustainable production.

You don’t need to redecorate your whole room to feel the shift in season. Sometimes, a new duvet cover set in a rich orange tone or a calming grey floral print is all it takes to refresh your space and your mood.

So go ahead, make that cup of tea, fluff your pillows, and let October settle in.
