Fall Color Inspiration: Freshening Up Interior Spaces for Autumn
As the air turns crisp and the leaves outside shift into rich reds, golden yellows, and deep oranges, it’s only natural to want our interiors to reflect the warmth and coziness of the season. Autumn is the perfect time to refresh your living spaces with a color palette inspired by nature’s most stunning transition. Whether you’re planning a full repaint or simply want to accent your rooms with seasonal touches, fall hues can bring comfort and sophistication to your home.
Why Update for Fall?
A change in seasons often invites a fresh perspective indoors. Adding warmer shades can help soften the shortening days and create a welcoming atmosphere for family gatherings. A new coat of paint doesn’t just transform walls. It can set the mood and anchor your seasonal décor, making your home feel perfectly in tune with autumn.
Autumn Color Palettes to Try
Warm Neutrals
Creamy beige, warm taupe, and soft greige shades work beautifully as a backdrop for cozy textiles and rustic finishes. These timeless neutrals provide flexibility and can carry your interior style well beyond the season. Think Sherwin Williams Familiar Beige (SW 6093)
Rich Earth Tones
Think terracotta, cinnamon, burnt sienna, and chestnut. These shades are reminiscent of autumn foliage and lend depth to any space. Perfect for accent walls, dining rooms, or cozy dens. Think Sherwin Williams Copper Mountain (SW 6356)
Jewel-Inspired Hues
For a bold seasonal update, tones like deep emerald, garnet, and navy pair beautifully with metallic accents and layered textures. These colors add drama and elegance to living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways. Think Sherwin Williams Rustic Red (SW 7593)
Muted Greens & Mustards
Olive green and golden mustard are subtle nods to nature’s changing palette. These shades pair well with wood tones and add warmth without overwhelming a space. Think Sherwin Williams Jasper (SW 6216)
