As the leaves start to change and the air turns crisp, it's time to cozy up your home for fall. Just like you swap out your wardrobe for warmer layers and richer hues, your living spaces deserve a seasonal refresh too. Say goodbye to the bright and breezy colors of summer and welcome the warm and inviting tones of autumn. Not sure where to start? Here are five fabulous fall color swaps to transform your rooms into hygge havens. So grab your pumpkin spice latte, and let's dive into the world of fall-inspired interior design!
Calming Neutrals
Fall doesn't always mean bold and vibrant colors. If you prefer a more serene atmosphere, consider swapping out your summer hues for calming neutrals. This time of year is all about creating a cocoon of comfort, and soft, creamy whites, gentle grays, and muted fawn and oat shades are the perfect palette to achieve that cozy feel. These colors evoke a sense of tranquility, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and even your home office.
Use calming neutrals as a base in your bedroom with sheets and duvet covers in one or a combination of these colors. Or you could accessorize with neutral throw pillows and blankets to complete the look. (Our Embrace Throw in Oat would be a great addition to any room!) Neutral colors also create a versatile backdrop for your fall decor, allowing you to easily incorporate pops of seasonal shades and textures.
Glorious Grays
Gray may seem like a shade best reserved for winter, but it’s actually a versatile and timeless color choice that can seamlessly transition your home from summer to fall. Gray's versatility lies in its ability to adapt to different color schemes and styles, making it a fantastic choice for any room. For example, swap out those bright summer blues for deep charcoal or slate gray. Place our Embrace throw blanket in Graphite at the foot of your bed, or use it to dress up your living room sofa. Choose our Cloud Blanket in the softest Whisper Gray for your bedroom, or swap out your summer towels for a gorgeous gray set.
In the living room, a plush gray area rug can tie a room together while keeping your toes toasty on chilly autumn mornings. Gray upholstery can also serve as a stylish anchor, allowing you to introduce a variety of fall shades through accessories and artwork. To infuse warmth, pair gray with rich accents like burnt orange, deep burgundy, or golden mustard. For example, our Achelous Camel Hair Decorative Pillows in Camel would be an inviting choice.
Warm Earth Shades
Another fall color swap we love: clay and terracotta tones. These warm, earthy colors are the epitome of fall coziness, making them perfect for creating an inviting atmosphere. Our Embrace Throws and Pillows can be used to infuse bedrooms, living rooms, and other spaces with a welcoming warmth. Alernatively, incorporate camel-colored curtains or even ceramic vases with autumnal accents like dried wheat bundles for a touch of rustic elegance.
In your bedroom, consider a clay-colored sham or swap out your bedding for terracotta sheets and pillowcases. Pair with wooden furniture and textured rugs to enhance the earthy vibe, or contrast with more sleek and modern pieces.
Ivory Instead of White
In fall, why not swap out the starkness of white for the warmth of ivory? Ivory is a softer, creamier shade that adds a touch of elegance and warmth to any room. This subtle shift in color can make a big difference in the overall feel of your living spaces.
For your bedroom, choose ivory bedding, coverlets and throws to create a serene sanctuary. Our bestselling Lux Collection Sheets come in a beautiful Ivory shade you’ll love. Pair this neutral base with gold or bronze accents to capture the essence of fall's golden hues. In the living room, consider ivory upholstery for your furniture and incorporate rich, jewel-toned accessories to add depth and contrast.
Timeless Taupe
Taupe is a classic color that effortlessly bridges the gap between seasons. Its muted, earthy tones make it a fantastic choice for a subtle fall-inspired home. Taupe works well in both modern and traditional settings, making it a versatile choice for any room.
In your bedroom, combine taupe with deep burgundy or forest green accents to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Taupe sheets are a stylish seasonal option. In the living room, taupe upholstery can serve as a neutral canvas for your fall decor, allowing you to switch out accessories with the changing seasons.
Transforming your home from summer to fall is all about embracing the cozy and inviting colors of the season. Whether you choose calming neutrals, elegant grays, warm earthy shades, ivory accents, or timeless taupe, these fall color swaps will transition your living spaces in a way that reflects the beauty of the season.
