From luxurious textures to earthy tones, these trends are all about creating a warm, inviting space that feels like a refuge from the outside world.
So, grab a cup of warm apple cider, get comfortable, and let’s dive into these delightful decor trends that are sure to make your home feel instantly cozier this fall.
1. Layering Luxurious Textures for Ultimate Comfort
The first trend is all about embracing the richness of the season by layering luxurious textures. Think soft cashmere throws, plush velvet cushions, and faux fur rugs.
Not only do they add depth and warmth to your space, but they also create a cozy, tactile experience that instantly makes you want to curl up and relax. Anthropologie always has a fantastic range of textiles that can help you achieve this layered look.
2. Incorporating Warm, Earthy Tones into Your Color Scheme
Fall is synonymous with warm, earthy tones. From deep rusts to muted greens, these colors emulate the changing leaves and bring a touch of nature indoors. You can incorporate these colors through paint, accessories, or even a statement piece of furniture.
The key is to balance these warm hues with neutral tones to prevent them from overpowering your space. Check out Living Spaces for some inspiration on how to incorporate these colors into your decor.
3. The Rise of Rustic-Chic Decor
Rustic-chic decor is making a big comeback this fall. This trend combines the simplicity of rustic elements with the sophistication of chic design. The result is a warm, inviting space that feels lived-in yet stylish.
Think distressed wood, worn leather, and vintage-inspired accessories. You can find some beautiful rustic-chic pieces on places like Etsy.
4. Embracing Hygge with Cozy Knitted Accents
Hygge, the Danish and Norwegian word for a mood of coziness and comfortable conviviality, has been a growing trend in home decor.
And it’s not hard to see why. Knitted accents like chunky throw blankets, cable knit pillows, and even knitted poufs create a sense of warmth and comfort that’s perfect for the fall season. You could even try your hand at knitting your own accents if you’re feeling crafty.
5. Adding Vintage Touch with Antique Brass Elements
Antique brass elements are another trend that’s making a comeback. From picture frames to lamp bases, these vintage-inspired pieces add a touch of elegance and charm to any space.
They also pair beautifully with the warm, earthy tones that are so popular this fall. If you’re looking for antique brass elements, flea markets and thrift stores are great places to start.
6. Adorning Spaces with Autumn-Inspired Botanicals
Nothing says fall like autumn-inspired botanicals. Think dried wheat stalks, cotton stems, and faux eucalyptus branches.
These natural elements add texture and interest to your space, and they can easily be incorporated into your existing decor. Check out People’s list of editor-loved fall decor for some botanical inspiration.
