10+ Rooms That Embody Fall Decorating
Cooler temperatures and pumpkin-spiced everything are making a comeback, signalling the time to jumpstart fall decorating! This season puts an emphasis on rich wood tones and nature-inspired palettes. Here are some elements that emulate the beauty of fall foliage and bring some cosiness into your home.
Throw on a sweater, pour a hot cup of cocoa and see how your rooms can celebrate fall with these inspired tips!
Autumnal Color Palette
A patterned rug with a ’70s color scheme pops in this 1863 heritage home. The kitchen is layered with fall colors, from the bright orange stool to the full-length mustard curtains.
Nature-inspired Upholstery
These antique wooden chairs feature plush orange seat cushions with a nature-inspired motif that make us want to sit back with a book and hot cup of tea. Art and pottery of the same autumnal palette further plays into the warm, cozy vibe.
Cozy Quilts
One of the simplest ways to get your home fall-ready is by switching up your bedding. This wood-framed bed is dressed up with layers of mustard, burnt orange and brown tones that reflect the season’s vibrant foliage. A cozy quilt completes the look.
Earthy Accents
In this Nova Scotia living room, light sofas are contrasted with a vintage-look coffee table and earthy accents. A mix of red, brown and patterned throw pillows bring a calming effect to this living room, especially when surrounded by textured wall art, wood accents and pillar candles.
Small Tchotchkes
Ghost-themed salt and pepper shakers and a green tinted mason jar filled with ground coffee signify one thing — Halloween is coming! Wood kitchen accents also bring a fall feel to this quirky kitchen.
Cozy Neutrals
A gallery-like portrait hangs above a vintage-inspired fireplace in actress Karine Vanasse’s living room. The neutral space proves you can still create a cozy vibe without overpowering colors. Hits of light brown, creamy whites and wood make this all-white room fit for fall.
A Layered Look
Anything goes in this eclectic Vancouver living room, which is part of what makes it so inviting. A brown velvet armchair is warmed up with a harvest gold throw pillows, while scattered books, art and plants breathe life into the space. A patterned rug makes an impression and ties the fall-ready room together.
Warm Woods
Filling your rooms with warm wood accents is a great choice all year round, but fall is the perfect time to embrace this nature-inspired material. Wood closet doors, floors and a nightstand bring instant warmth to this bedroom, which is complemented by earthy bed throws.
Brass Accents
In this kitchen designed by Samantha Sacks, brass sconces and cabinet pulls complement the graphic kitchen banquette where delicate wishbone chairs and a cozy built-in bench are exactly where we’d like to spend fall mornings.
Mustard Accents
If you can muster up the courage to use this fall-approved color in your decorating, you won’t regret it. Mustard will always make a statement, but it’s a color that shines this time of year, particularly when paired with cool blue walls.
Leather Furniture
Cognac-hued leather ottomans echo the wood walls in this home on Lake Huron. Earthy autumnal textiles bring a cohesive feel to the wood panelled living room for a rustic indoor/outdoor feel.
Vintage Elements
Not sure how to bring warmth to a white and bright room? A vintage rug with deep colors has the power to transform a pared back modern space into a warm and inviting one. A cushioned stool gives this bathroom some extra comfort.
Textured Wallpaper
“I love layering neutrals and textures for an enriched experience,” says decorator Tim Lam. In his compact condo bedroom, textured wallpaper envelopes the room with warmth, while throw blankets and pillows bring color and pattern to the neutral space.
