You might not be ready to bid farewell to summer but that doesn’t mean you can’t start preparing your home for the cooler months to come. When it comes to a seasonal refresh, a few new on-trend pieces are all you need to give your home a cosy update.
This time, we’re taking inspiration from Big W’s new Autumn/Winter 26 homewares collection. The newsum collection, which includes bedding, tableware and decor, features plenty of delicously deep plum tones, natural fabrics and sweet patterns and prints.
For the items you should have your eye on this season, we asked home styling content creator Tiffany Donaldson (@home.style.by.tiff) to help us hunt down the pieces with the most potential to transform your home.

$25
Holding 3.8 litres, this deep plum coloured cast iron pot is perfect for cooking your favourite winter soups and stews.

02
Basket weave throw in white

Tiffany recommends finding one hero piece and building your styling around it. “Something like the Openook Nora Handle Vase can anchor a console, then you layer in smaller accents to complement it,” she says.

Openook cotton quilt cover set
$59 – $69
For bedding, Tiffany is opting for the Openook Cotton Quilt Cover Set in Multi Stripe.
“I think the beautiful new bedding is the ultimate mum treat. Something like the Openook Cotton Quilt Cover Set in Multi Stripe feels like a small luxury. It instantly makes your bedroom feel fresh and cosy, and mums rarely prioritise that for themselves.”

To celebrate the launch of this collection, BIG W is hitting the road with a dedicated ‘Treat Truck’, designed to spoil mums with complimentary pieces from the new range. The initiative follows new research commissioned by the brand, revealing a national ‘Treat Gap’ with mums four times less likely to treat themselves than their children. Need a little treat? Here’s where you can find the Treat Truck this weekend:
- 10am -1pm on Saturday the 21st of February at Luna Park, Sydney
- 3pm – 4:30pm on Saturday the 21st of February at Centennial Park, Sydney
- BIG W stores nationwide
