Fall-Inspired Home Design

As the summer heat falls away, the crisp fall winds blow. Leaves change from green to brilliant orange, red, gold, brown, pink, and yellow. Incorporating these colors into your fall color palette can transform and refresh your interior design. Geneva’s Interiors in Federal Way, Washington, is here to help you create a fall-inspired home design today!

Create a Fall Color Palette

With transforming leaves, green grass, blue skies, and clouds ranging from fluffy white to rainy gray, you can find colors that complement your existing interior design. Fall colors are the most varied of any season, which gives you a lot of opportunities to find things you like.

To create your fall color palette:

• Select a few items you’re not going to change, such as your wall color, floor color, or furniture.
• Determine whether you want to complement or contrast your existing color scheme. For instance, if you have honey-colored walls and white door frames, you might consider complementary warm colors, such as orange, red, green, and brown. Alternatively, to add contrast, you might add some purplish or green decorative items. These will pop out and add visual appeal.
• Consider which colors you would like to pull into your home. Although many designers recommend limiting yourself to three primary colors, you can use multiple colors in small doses as accents.
• It’s okay to start with a neutral color palette with tans, browns, white, gray, black, and cream and add brighter fall colors to your palette, or even keep it all neutral.

Once you have your fall color palette established, you get to incorporate those colors into your interior design!

Select Textures for Your Interior Design

In any season, texture is as important as color for home design. It draws attention and makes the design look more complete. Some ways you can add texture to your interior design include:

• Selecting full drapery for your windows in a lovely, textured fabric
• Using baskets to hold things
• Adding pumpkins or pinecones with lights as part of a display or as a wreath on a door
• Pulling out brass or glass vases and drinking glasses
• Adding throw rugs or area rugs onto the floor, particularly in your fall color palette
• Pulling out soft or woven throw pillows and putting them on couches, chairs, or in window bays
• Exchanging light comforters for heavy quilts on beds
• Putting out a blanket rack with multiple soft blankets for snuggling up in

Layer Up for Fall-Inspired Home Design

Layers are the ultimate tool for home design in fall and winter. Adding multiple layers to windows, beds, and floors is ideal for cooler temperatures. Not only do they make everything look warmer, but they also naturally add interest. Many of the ways you can add texture can also be used to add layers, so have fun!
