With temperatures dipping and sweater weather back in the air, it is time to welcome what is arguably the most beautiful season of the year, autumn or fall as it is also called. It is a time when nature puts on a fiery display of yellow, red, rust, magenta, ochre and brown. A stunning spectacle indeed, the colours of fall are a sight to behold!
Autumn is also an exciting time to bring in these colours into your home. While fall decor is primarily associated with the vibrant colours of Halloween and pumpkins, you can bring in the cozy vibe of the season with muted colours which have an earthy and rustic appeal. Think creams, browns, grey, sage and even viking blue. These shades are not only timeless but also tend to blend well with your overall decor scheme making your home look naturally beautiful and homely. Here are some key ways to colour drench your home with the hues and textures of fall.
Greens Galore
An evergreen color that symbolizes growth, wisdom and peace,, green is a perfect way to introduce the colours of fall. Shades like olive, sage and bottle green can be the ideal additions if you are looking to add an element of calm into your space.
The color is well suited for the living and dining spaces and whether you add a dash of green in the form of wallpaper on an accent wall or via soft furnishings, it is sure to create a statement quite like none other.
Creams and Browns
An earthy chic palette never fails to impress and adding a Scandanavian touch to your home is sure to bring in an uncluttered, tranquil vibe. Add in some dry flowers, lamp shades and you are sure to add the much needed element of hygge which is synonymous with comfort and conviviality.
Sneaking in subtle shades of maroon and magenta between the muted shades is a great idea to break the monotony and add a touch of drama.
Greys and Blue
Again, the perfect shades to add a touch of congeniality and invoke some pleasant vibes, greys and blues are also timeless colours of fall. From taupe to viking blue and charcoal to sea blue, these colours are sure to add a touch of subtle sophistication to your home.
Whether you add them in the form of accessories, furniture or wall paper, it is sure to create a picture of grace and elegance.
Natural Textures
Wood textures, terracotta finishes and tactile fabric are great ways to bring in the snug feeling of the season. Add in some throw blankets, bouclé fabric and a rug and your home is ‘fall ready’. Plaids in monochrome is an all time favorite pattern.
Elevate the ambience with woody scents like cinnamon incense sticks or pumpkin spice candles and the atmosphere is surely divine! Accessories like natural pine wood cones in a shallow bowl or coffee beans in a jar are other simple yet great ideas.
Think Botanical
Botanical prints are quintessentially autumn and wall papers are a great way to have them in your home. You could also experiment the pattern with soft furnishings.
Further, never forget to add a touch of green by introducing live plants or even tall stalks in your space. Whether you place them on your center table or in the corner, plants never fail to create the right impression.
