20 Fall Color Schemes That Usher in the New Season
Easy upgrades that don't rely on pumpkins.
The easiest way to make our homes feel ready for the season ahead? Swapping in pieces that create a seasonal, on-trend color palette. In the fall, that means welcoming warmer tones that set the cozy, festive scene and reflect the changing colors of nature (not just, red, yellow, and orange, though they're power players this time of year). Ahead, discover 20 fall colors and how to incorporate them into your space.
Burnt Orange
Burnt orange is a good compromise between red and orange. Though the shade is still vibrant, it's a little more muted and grounding, creating the perfect fall color palette. In this bedroom designed by Arent & Pyke, the seasonal update as simple as introducing some new pillow cases.
Pale Coral
Though orange is definitely a fall color, it's vibrant and versatile enough to work in the warmer months, too, so you don't have to constantly swap out bedding. A pale coral makes it great for spring and summer, too. Designer Tasmin Johnson alternated slipcover colors to bring in more wintery and moody hues, too, like inky navy and dove gray.
Charcoal
Cooler weather calls for cozier interiors, so incorporate tones with more depth. In this moody farmhouse bathroom designed by Chango & Co, the crisp white backdrop are grounded by moody dark gray colors and complementary artwork.
Peach
The easiest way to get your house fall-ready is by swapping out rugs for warmer tones. In this stairwell designed by Emily Henderson, the swirls of peach and chocolate brown make the concrete floors so much more inviting. The leaves are changing, your floor coverings should, too.
Peacock
While blue feels inherently summery, a blue/green/gray peacock is richer for fall. Splice in some lighter shades of gray and crisp whites to lighten it up, as Catherine Kwong did here.
Berry
Don't be afraid of purple. This muted purple/pink/red color looks especially luxe in a velvet material luxe on walls and carpet here in a modern living room designed by Arent & Pyke.
Dusty Rose
Pink is often associated with spring and summer, but it definitely has a place in fall interiors. Take note from the shade of dusty rose in the curtains and carpet in this space designed by Janie Molster. It's both muted and intriguing at once.
Beige
Caramel tones feel cozy on a bedroom wall. Add in whites and blues to liven the space up and keep it from feeling monochromatic.
Aubergine
Designed by Studio DB, this study is both modern and classic, inviting and bold. The eggplant-hued walls as well as the black marble fireplace create an intimate environment and the light fixture, mirrored table, and chrome and leather chair introduce sleek design while the cotton candy-esque artwork, fluffy floor cushions add ma sense of comfort and playfulness.
Deep Green
A deep green chair paired with a light wood coffee stool and piano is giving us all the fall feels. See more of this eclectic family home at Regan Baker Design.
Chocolate
Offset dark brown with cream and orange accents. It warms up the room and adds in even more fall tones.
Navy Blue
This navy blue media room from Commune Design feels dramatic yet, at the same time, intimate. the warmer woods and bright throw pillows and colorful carpet bring depth and warmth to the cooler color.
