This year's autumn design trends embrace a rustic-luxe look that combines rich, natural colours, mid-tone timbers and styling that is aimed at bringing the outdoors in. 

Wagga stylist for Exclusive Clean and Style Donna Parker said timber furniture that has been recycled is an on-trend interior item. 

"The linens are also popular as well as some patterns except florals which have died down as we head into winter," she said. 

"I think linen and timber are just classic pieces that never date and so you can always mix and match with those staple pieces, while bringing modern designs with it." 

While Ms Parker said navy has always been a staple colour during the cooler months, most design trends are cyclical. 

"There isn't a huge difference in trends this year from last and I think everything just does a turn around every couple of seasons," she said. 

"A couple of seasons ago rust was in and now we're seeing it again, but navy is always strong in the winter as well as mustard." 

Ms Parker's colleague Simone Gawland said trending colours and textures include khaki, rust, black and white prints with timber frames, natural and velvet pieces. 

Ms Parker is tipping that pastel and soft colours will make a comeback next summer season, such as "beautiful sages" and greens. 

Dulux's trending design trends for this season is set against a backdrop of warm timber and honeyed leather with accents of soft grey-green, olive, dusty pink and rich blue-green and ochre. 

"There's a sense of quiet luxury to this look, but it doesn't come down to extravagant finishes or accessories," said Andrea Lucena-Orr, Dulux colour and communications manager.

"Rather, it's the layering of natural colours and textures - richly grained timber, time-worn leather, cork and tactile velvets.

"There's also a mindful appreciation of the humble and handcrafted simple pieces - whether they've been collected on your travels or found in vintage stores."

According to Wagga architect Gioia Gianniotis, the focus is not just on the interiors but functional spaces and layering of building materials continue to be trends in 2019 and the use of brickwork arranged in inventive ways has seen a revival recently.
