Top Fall Decorating Trends

September 19, 2021 | Top Fall Decorating Trends

Some fall decorating traditions are always going to be classics, such as pumpkin displays, inside and out, and wreaths for the front door, full of fall colors. There’s nothing wrong with including these decorations in your homes in Midlothian VA, but why not take some inspiration from some of the latest decor trends, as they seem to be crossing over to fall decorations surprisingly well.

Earthy colors have been big this year and that works perfectly for the fall season. Whether you’re redecorating or decorating a new home, or if you’re just looking to update some decor, let these colors lead the way. Neutrals, like sand, cream, ivory and blush are great background options or they can be the contrast if you already have stronger colored walls or furniture. This year the complementary pops of color come from additional earth tones, such as terracotta, yellow, including mustard yellow, rich browns, orange, red, and dark green. Think about the leaves changing colors and draw your inspiration from there.

For example, throw pillows and blankets, especially chunky knit blankets for sofas are great in deep, rich greens, warm browns, and even dark blues. You could throw in a couple of pillows in red, orange, or yellow to further liven up the arrangement, while still presenting an elegant but cozy fall sofa.

For your dining table, stick with a classic arrangements of small gourds and pumpkins strewn along the table, perhaps with a few tealights in red or gold containers. However, for the table runner beneath them, consider a dark forest green or a bright sunny yellow. Either one will pair surprisingly well with the traditional colors.

This year, textured fabrics are in, for everything from throw blankets, bedding, floor poufs, rugs, and even macrame wall hangings. Knits, faux furs, boucle, silks, velvet and cashmere all have a place in your home, adding to the cozy vibe, no matter how you use them.

Whether you’re decorating one of the new homes in Midlothian VA from scratch or updating your current home, take some time to consider fall decorations that focus on color and texture, not just obvious themes of leaves and pumpkins. Of course, go ahead and add in some of those elements as well, as there’s something so cozy about embracing fall.
