Why not refresh your home for fall with quick and inexpensive trending ideas and colors? It’s easy to do with a bit of fabric, flowers, candles, paint, new art, gently used treasures and stick-on wallpaper accents. Browse local vintage shops, Home Goods, Tuesday Morning and home consignment stores after combing Pinterest for ideas.
What’s out in overall styles? Modern Farmhouse, open kitchens, mid-century modern boho, minimalism, monochromatic all-white interiors, stainless steel kitchens. We’re liking bold ‘70s style/color interiors, Barbiecore, French style a la Diane Keaton’s kitchen and coastal grandmother (cozy cabins + vintage).
Gone are last year’s gray and blue tones. This autumn, royal purple, teal, Kelly green, hot pink, shimmery metallics, marigold, cinnamon, mushroom, rust and creamy orange are in charge of your room’s palette. Still popular is sage green, for kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities and walls.
Change out pillows or use a sheet/towel to recover a chair seat. Layer in some of these warmer colors and a few fall accents. Fringed accents – from lamp shade
tassels to drapery, rugs and pillows – with a rock’n’roll vibe rule. Warm neutral tones and luxurious textures can transform your room into a cozy retreat. Also popular is the use of organic materials from rattan pumpkins and woven vases to weathered stone and wood finishes.
For furnishings, opt for natural wood to create a calming environment to ground this fall’s lighter, airier space renovations. It works well for kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, updating grey-toned woods so popular till now. Flooring also gets a refresh with checkerboard patterns, especially sophisticated black and white. Checkerboard spills over to bedding, rugs, and mugs.
