Introducing the Oak Leaf Collection; our first small, considered autumn edit — designed in‑house and inspired by the quiet beauty of early autumn.
Each oak leaf motif was hand‑painted and printed onto beautiful linen, creating a natural, timeless pattern that transitions effortlessly from late summer into the season ahead. In this blog, we explore the inspiration behind the collection and share styling tips to help you bring gentle autumn warmth into your home.
The Inspiration Behind the Oak Leaf Collection
Late summer has a beauty all of its own — warm days, soft golden evenings and that gentle feeling of wanting to savour every last moment. At Alterme Home, we believe in embracing each season fully, without rushing the next. There is still so much light and warmth to enjoy, and we’re soaking it in.
Our exclusive oak leaf design, finished with a beautiful dark brown ruffle trim.
This time of year also brings a quiet shift. A subtle change in the air, a desire for softer textures, and the first thoughts of creating a home that feels calm, cosy and ready for the months ahead. It’s not about stepping into autumn all at once — it’s about easing into it naturally.
This is exactly where our Oak Leaf Collection begins.
Designed in‑house, the collection features a hand‑painted oak leaf motif — created by us, inspired by the quiet beauty of nature at this time of year. Each leaf was painted with intention, capturing the soft curves, delicate edges and organic movement of real oak leaves. That artwork was then printed onto the most beautiful linen fabric, chosen for its gentle texture, breathability and timeless simplicity.
The oak tree has long been a symbol of strength and endurance, symbolising stability, these wonderful napkins are a true reflection of this, use them year after year for dinner parties and week day meals alike.
The result is a collection that feels warm without being heavy, seasonal without being rushed, and deeply connected to the natural world. It’s a celebration of early autumn in its softest form — a palette of calm neutrals, subtle patterning and materials that bring depth and comfort to your home.
Whether you’re refreshing a living room corner, adding a new layer to your bedroom or simply looking for something that feels right for this moment, the Oak Leaf Collection is designed to transition beautifully from late summer into autumn.
Explore the Oak Leaf Collection and discover pieces designed to ease your home into autumn — softly, naturally, and in your own time.

This subtle pink block print pattern on a wonderful soft neutral linen makes for the perfect finishing touch for beds and sofas. When it comes to pink and green should never be seen we have thrown out the rule book, we love pairing this with our Jasmine stripe or other green cushions for a complimentary contrast. Or pair with blues for a more modern feel.
