Fall is decidedly in the air, conjuring thoughts of warmer color schemes, cozy nooks, and meaningful time with family. A subtle shift in colors is an easy way to freshen your home for the upcoming season or your pending listing.
According to home style experts, autumn room decor can feature rich hues ranging from brown to orange and even blue! If you’re not ready to make a major change for the fall, like painting the walls or completely redecorating, try adding just a few earth-tone pieces that vary in shade (think: throw pillows, home accessories and statement pieces). There are many ways to embrace the season in a tasteful manner and, one that wholly complements your personal style!
Autumnal color highlights:
BROWN: A warm and rustic appeal can be achieved with exposed beams complementing wood plank floors, monochromatic design (layers of varying hues), leathers & hides and plush, cozy textiles. Brown hues are an ideal way to add plenty of texture to a room or nook and capture the crisp but cozy feel of the season.

GREEN: Green hues are ideal for the season. For a touch of drama in a room, paint the backs of bookcases in your favorite deep green shade. If you're feeling more daring, consider patterned green walls. Green seating can lend an attractive pop in just about any room. Try adding dimension to a space with luxurious, green-hued curtains.
