The Colors of Fall

Fall into Fall

Seasonal decorating can be more than just adding a row of pumpkins to your front porch or holiday lights in December. Changing key accessories in your home to reflect a change in the seasons not only floods your spaces with a year round freshness, but seasonal color palettes seem to mimic the same color palettes found in nature.


The fieriness exploding from fall foliage is not lost on interior design. With just a few simple adjustments, you can match the cool crisp fall air, with a warm bold color palette in the home. Your home becomes a reflection of the same color palette outside your window.

Just a little touch of fall color can add some warmth, such as these overdyed red woven rugs smartly placed within white decor.

A neutral room can be the perfect backdrop for continuous seasonal adjustments. A brown room looks just as naturally inviting with orange or red accessories for fall as it does with the bright greens of spring.

The bold color palette of this piece from the Surya Brentwood Collection is a hand hooked rug in maroon and light copper. If ever one home decor accessory screamed autumn color palette, it may just be this one. You could easily accent with orange, red, gold or yellow.

Oh, orange, orange, orange, we just love what you can do for a room. You are so versatile, as we expressed in our post celebrating the Pantone color Koi, and so happy. Orange accents, such as those used in this pale blue room, add a brightness and liveliness paired with the calmness of a cooler tone.

Orange accessories have a way of sneaking into the room and shifting the focus, by simply being orange. This rug from the Jaipur Maroc Collection is a 100% flat woven beauty that can easily be rolled out in the fall and quickly rolled up and stored during spring or summer. Of course it works so well in any season, you don't have to put it away at all.

Add a few orange color pops with accessories such as throw pillows and your neutral room is transformed to warm and lively.

Don't rule out mustards, golds, browns and tans. These colors not only pair well with oranges and reds, but they can provide a standard backdrop year round. This hand woven rug from the Surya Frontier Collection has the ability to blend in or work as a warm backdrop for other boldly colored autumn accessories.

With a little bit of pumpkin, we can usher in the bold fall color palette, say farewell to summer and hello to apple cider, crisp air and the cool breeze that come in our windows while the Thanksgiving pies are cooling.
