New color palettes
Spring and summer are all about crisp, fresh, light shades. As the nights draw in, and temperatures start to fall, it’s time to switch up your color palettes and be a little more adventurous. The fall and winter months offer a brilliant excuse to be bolder and to experiment with stronger, darker, warmer shades. Popular colors for fall include burgundy, red, terracotta, gold, mocha, beige and jewel tones like sapphire and emerald. If you’re thinking about painting your walls or putting wallpaper up, consider the size of the room before you make any decisions. If you have a small living room or a bijou bathroom, avoid painting all the walls a dark color. Instead, you can lift neutral walls with colored accessories and accents or create a feature wall using a splash of paint or a printed or patterned wallpaper.
Lighting
Lighting is primarily used to illuminate spaces, but it also plays a crucial role in adding to the aesthetic and feel of a space. The types of lights and lamps you choose will affect the look of the room and the ambiance. In the fall, there’s nothing better than feeling cozy and snug at home when there’s a chill in the air and the sun starts to set in the late afternoon. Use lighting to make a style statement, to celebrate different themes and trends and to give your home a cozy feel. You can choose from a whole host of options, including ultra-modern pendants, minimalist spotlights, vintage wall lamps or decadent Murano glass chandeliers. Match the types of lights you buy with the vibe and look you’re hoping to create and opt for soft lighting in areas that are designed to promote calm and relaxation.
Textures
Fall is the perfect season for experimenting with different textures. As we move from summer to fall and winter, replacing lightweight materials with heavier fabrics is a great way to add instant coziness. Replace cotton and linen cushion covers and bamboo and jute floor covers with velvet, wool and faux fur cushions and rugs and mix and match different textures. You can use rich, opulent accents like velvet cushions and bedspreads to create a boutique hotel vibe in your bedroom or embrace Scandinavian design ideas in your living room or kitchen with heavy throws, knitted blankets and faux fur cushions scattered across dining chairs and sofas. For this look, channel a lived-in vibe. There’s no need to waste time straightening cushions or folding throws and positioning them perfectly on the end of the couch.
