Autumn décor - blue and white chinoiserie chic pumpkins

It's the height of summer so naturally I'm focusing all my attention on the next pending season . . . AUTUMN! The best season of them all! I don't know why but my creative brain feels so much more inspired in the build up and during this season. It's an exciting time for the change of tone in fashion and home décor. It's a bit like the excitement of the September issue being released!

If you follow me on insta, you'd have seen my trip to Homesense a few weeks ago as their Fall décor was already in stock and selling fast!

There's no better time like the present to start planning my autumn home décor, I usually have a centrepiece and this year, this is what I'm thinking . . .

Where to stay in Manchester with an underground pool

You know what I really love about this hotel . . . the chairs! My home décor Pinterest vibes were going wild! There were beautiful brushed powder blue chairs near the spa area, woven hounds tooth ones in our room, contrasting white and leather plaited ones on the alfresco decking area, I could carry on . . . 

The restaurant is well worth a visit if you are in Manchester, Peter Street Kitchen serves Mexican & Japanese fusion dishes and you know what I'm going to say . . . the chairs were beautiful in that area of the hotel too! 

The other winning aspect of this beautiful and historic building is the underground spa and pool, it's one of the best hidden gems in Manchester. Constructed with a beautiful mix of materials and textures, this calm and serene below ground hide-out offers a slice of heaven amongst the hustle and bustle of the Manchester city streets. Luckily for us, kids are allowed in between certain hours and Arthurs LOVES to swim!

A few other plus points are the incredible views from the higher up rooms, the great location of the hotel itself (took 5-7 minutes to walk to Selfridges and Harvey Nicks . . . Winning!) and also the staff. As we've stayed a fair few times, it feels like they welcome us back warmly and even remember Arthurs name. 

It's become our little family's home away from home when we fancy the city life, we'll be back to make many more memories in the future.
