Introduction
“For the autumn winter season we’re excited to introduce three different looks for the home, bringing evocative colours, tactile textures and eye-catching prints designed in-house. In keeping with Habitat’s ethos of bringing affordable style and enduring designs to its customers, the new collections include an extensive range of trend-led, value-for-money accessories that allow for quick and easy home refreshes
Lighting takes centre-stage this season, with more than one hundred new designs to help create the perfect ambience at home, exclusively developed by Habitat’s in-house design team. Our love of scentscaping continues and we are delighted to launch five bespoke fragrance collections that have been designed and developed solely for Habitat. ”
Hannah Mallett Habitat Director of ProductHabitat is widely available online at Habitat.co.uk and Argos.co.uk as well as in selected Argos and Sainsbury’s stores.
Verdant
This collection celebrates our profound connection to nature and the healing power of its colours and materials. Drawing inspiration from artisanal craft techniques, it is influenced by the calm minimalism of Scandi design, embraced by a soothing colour palette of earthy tones, married with restorative green. Naturalistic textures such as recycled glass, vegan leather, wood finishes and speckled ceramics add tactile layers to the look, resulting in a harmonious collection designed to turn any space into an autumnal haven.
Material matters: Faux leather
“The Newell 3-seater sofa is the epitome of quiet luxury. Its hyper-realistic leather upholstery is soft and pillowy, with a rich, warm tan that will instantly elevate your living space. And because it’s made from hard-wearing upholstery, you can rest assured that it will last for years to come. So if you’re looking for a sofa that’s both stylish and comfortable, the Newell is the perfect choice.”
Dave Hutcheson Habitat Senior Designer
Mirage
Mirage exudes sophisticated luxury, fusing a modern, energising colour palette with architectural influences and sculptural shapes. Luxe accents of tortoiseshell, brass and leather-look finishes weave their way into the look, with every piece designed to add depth and glamour to a space. Mustard, ochre and burgundy shades are updated, enhancing the polished aesthetic of the Mirage collection.
Trending: Art Deco appeal
“Our barware offering pays homage to 1920s glamour with its gold enamel finish; the tortoiseshell cocktail shaker is a particular favourite for those seeking the ultimate opulent bar set-up in their home, with an Art Deco, vintage slant. The meticulous collection includes every accessory for the home mixologist, from garnish bowls and bottle openers to a stopper and corkscrew.”
Dark sands
Dark sands looks to the dramatic Icelandic landscape and its folk heritage, evoking a simple aesthetic with an emphasis on natural textures such as dried grass, ironwork and felt. Habitat’s design team was inspired by the raw, tonal colours of the countryside, bringing inky blues, dark terracotta and charcoal to the collection, underlined with functional furniture and accessories. The atmospheric Nordic feel is layered up and softened with a series of weaves, mark-making prints and mango wood accents.
Trending: Moody hues
“Darker hues of blue play an important role in this sophisticated collection. These atmospheric palettes are lifted by layers of textiles, reactive glazed ceramics and organic glass shapes to prevent a space from feeling too cold.”

Design details: Lighting
“Lighting can transform a space, whether it’s casting a directed light on a home desk set-up, or to create a warm welcoming feeling on a cold winter’s evening by using standing lamps. We have invested in our in-house designed styles to launch some exceptional conversational pieces for AW23. Highlights include the oversized Bobble ceramic table lamp, a design that leans on the Bobble furniture trend. The lamp is glazed in white to create a statement but not overwhelm a small room.”
Design details:
“One of my favourite designs in the collection is the Wood and brass stick floor lamp. A classic floor lamp that uses a rich walnut stained wood offset with brass detailing for a contrasting finish. The pairing of the neutral tones of the shade with a luxurious brass base makes it a subtle but statement focal point in the home.”

Our luxurious fragrances include Pomegranate & Baies and Velvet Rose & Amber, complemented by a wellness-focussed range: Manifest, Awaken, Stillness and Clarity.

Prices start from £3 making the collection accessible to all.”
Anna Cross Habitat Head of Buying – Home
For autumn winter, Habitat welcomes new additions to its best-selling kids’ collection. Functional furniture pieces combine practical design with playful flourishes to inspire kids aged between four and ten. Harlequin prints across bedding and homewares join the furniture range, bringing a vibrant pop of colour and pattern to bedrooms and playrooms alike.
Design details: Scalloped furniture
“The Serena bedroom furniture collection has a vintage appeal with its charming scalloped ridge detail. Bringing a playful edge to a kids bedroom, it can be styled up with pastel shades for a classic countryside style, or enhance with graphic shapes and colours for a modern twist.”
