Feathering fall’s nest is a highlight of the year for many interiors aficionados. If this sounds like your lane, we feel you, and we’ve tapped our sources and resources to bring you this inspirational guide to creating an experiential fall home environment that goes well beyond surface-level décor.
Supple Seating
If you’re going to add one pivotal piece of furniture this fall, you’ll want that to be something super comfy to toss your must-have throw onto. This gorgeous Soma leather chair in Cognac from Hydeline is elegant yet comfortable, with its box-style seat cushions and well-defined welts giving it a tailored look, but one that is accommodating for all members of your household.
Thrown over
A good book, a fire, and a cozy throw is the quintessential way to spend a fall evening at home. And nothing is more relaxing than wrapping yourself in cuddly faux fur. This one from Pine Cone Hill via Perigold.com is double-sided and double-layered for maximum plush-ness. It also plays into the trend of layering in varied textures to our interiors, so there is also a balance struck between structure and style.
Seasonal strategy
Nothing says homey and cozy these days more than a delicate floral print, and we loved this one from the Anna Elizabeth line of Greenhouse Fabrics. Homeowners who love to personalize by the season are falling in love with the concept of purchasing the perfect pillow forms for their living areas and then swapping them out seasonally with custom fabric covers. This strategy helps keep any scheme from getting stale and is kinder to the environment than constantly replacing pillows to address seasonal mood enhancements.
Amber waves
Counterbalancing autumn’s softer goods with rich metallic accent pieces in shades of amber and gold are always seasonally inviting. Adding votives that enhance and reflect light, like this Branch Candleholder from Arhaus, creates the warm glow that turns any evening into an autumnally ambient event.
Pretty Practicality
Let’s face it, in fall—ash happens. That wood-burning fireplace that you always dreamed of is doing its thing and making your living space ultra-cozy and autumnally atmospheric with its flickering flames. But it’s also creating its fair share of burned wood by-product that needs to be cleaned out regularly. This year blend this useful and gorgeous copper ash keeper in with your other hearth essentials near the fireplace for the convenient storage of ash until it can be removed using its sturdy handle with its carved wooden dowel accent.
Oh my, gourd!
People who really love to decorate will tell you that the best thing to happen to the pumpkin was not the carving knife, it was getting creative with its traditional orange rind and using it to explore alternate colors and whimsical patterns. This collection from Ballard Designs grows in shape and scale every autumn offering something fun for every fall home.
Floor Show
Autumn is always rich with color, and this multi-colored beauty is a Strawberry Thief Indigo rug from Ruggable. Not only will it artistically pull this room scheme together, it will endure the seasonal slings and arrows of autumn’s weather, pets, and kids because it is durable and 100-percent washable, so you can fall for the pattern and the style with no wear-and-tear concerns.
The sunny side
For many reasons, we are seeing exceptionally sunny versions of yellow wall treatments making an appearance in many of today’s best-dressed homes. And why not? Even though yellow is probably not the first color you think of because of its association with the taxi cab and the banana, muted, buttery shades of this hue are definitely having a moment because of its warm and comforting aesthetic. This version is called Dayroom Yellow from Farrow & Ball.
