We’ll always appreciate the sunshine and sunny days, so saying goodbye to summer is always a little melancholy. But, with the end of summer comes the start of another of our favourite seasons: It’s October! You can sense the arrival of a fall in the air.
The air is a little chilly, and you’ll be grabbing a sweatshirt in no time. It’s a season that’s all about warm and fuzzy sensations! Because your clothes change with the seasons, why not do the same with your home decor? It’s a lot simpler than you might imagine!
You don’t have to redecorate your room entirely. It may be as simple as bringing in some lovely autumn hues.
Fall-Inspired Paint Color Palette
When thinking about how the season makes you feel, it’s an excellent place to start when looking for ideas for your home’s fall transition. What comes to mind when you think of the weather, your favourite seasonal activities, or even your clothes? Warm and cozy are the first phrases that come to mind for many people (including ourselves). That means you’ll be looking for colours with a warm undertone, such as red, orange, yellow, or brown.
But those aren’t your only choices! To help balance everything out, you’ll need some complementary cooler hues. Take a glance outside your window for more ideas! Warm hues can be seen in the changing leaves, but you’ll also notice colder tones in tree bark, the sky on overcast days, and the grass as it slowly returns to life.
Consider how you use each place and what type of emotion you want to generate when you’re spending time there when deciding which rooms to bring those fall colours into. In spaces where people congregate, fall colours tend to work nicely. A formal living room or dining room, a quiet den, a little reading nook, or a family room are all possibilities.
The Best Six Colors We Picked For You
- Mocha
- Olive
- Eggplant
- Ochre
- Wheat
- Wine
While the changing leaves are an obvious source of colour inspiration, most people find red, yellow, and orange tones too vivid. You don’t have to wear overly bright colours to get that fall vibe. We’ve put up a list of some of our favourite colours to get you started!
Mocha
Nothing beats a cup of coffee for warmth and comfort on a chilly morning. We can’t think of anything! Mocha is a brown colour with a creamy appearance that works well as a backdrop for accent items with brighter colours. It’s a lovely neutral that adds warmth while giving you many options.
It pairs beautifully with fall oranges, reds, and yellows, but it also goes with colours from all seasons, so you could easily switch out some accent items to give your space a new look at any time of year.
Olive
Green is always a good choice for walls since it offers a relaxing impact. When you’re settling in for some relaxing time at home, that’s precisely what you want! Natural wood tones, earthy brown colours, and buttery yellows go well with olive.
Again, it’s a hue that screams fall but could equally be worn in any other season. A pink and creamy beige dab might easily be used to create a spring palette.
Eggplant
You can’t go wrong with eggplant if you want something more dramatic. This majestic hue of purple adds drama to any room without becoming overbearing, and it would look fantastic in a formal dining room or living area used for entertainment. Darker wood tones, olive green, and softer neutrals like gray or creamy white go well with it.
Ochre
Ochre is an excellent choice if you want something vibrant. The hue derives from the same-named natural clay earth pigment and comes in various tones ranging from yellow to orange. We prefer a little yellower variant since it adds a splash of colour while maintaining the rustic vibe.
Darker colours, such as taupe-gray or dark brown, work well with it to help ground the space. Light gray and a soft buttery yellow can be used to brighten it up.
Wheat
Wheat is a lovely neutral option for the all-over wall colour for individuals who prefer to keep things simple. It’s almost white but with a little more depth—lighter hues of blue, silvery gray, sage green, and light brown look great against it. A creamy white with a tinge of yellow is ideal for adding a little more warmth!
Wine
Of course, nothing says autumn like a splash of crimson! A brilliant, blazing red wall, on the other hand, can be overbearing, especially in a tiny room. Try something reminiscent of your favourite glass of red wine for a more snug and comforting spin on this classic shade!
This cherry red has a lot of depth to it and is bright yet not overbearing. Creamy white, light beige, taupe, deep blue, and butternut yellow are suitable for this colour.
