Fall Style Trends: Inspiration to Love

Can you believe it’s September? The kids are back in school, the days are getting shorter, and before we know it, the trees will be beautiful shades of red, yellow, and orange. Fall is well on its way, and I can’t wait! Sure, I love summer–days by the pool, backyard barbecues, and all the memory making–but autumn is simply gorgeous here in Cleveland. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to a much-needed reprieve from this summer’s heat and to hearing the crunch of leaves underfoot. I’m also excited about changing things up in my home. It’s always fun to put together an autumn tablescape, and this year’s fall style trends definitely have my creative juices flowing. Let them inspire you and your home too!

Radiant Color and Light

fall style trendsAutumn in Cleveland is full of gorgeous colors that decorate the landscape, and one of the biggest fall style trends this year will be incorporating that richness of color into your home. From bright golds, burnt oranges, and rustic reds, bold colors in warm tones are popular this season. Mixing them into your decor will fill your home with slices of nature. And don’t feel pressured to stick with solids. Patterns will look uniquely beautiful in fabrics and area rugs. Along with colors, autumn is also known for its radiant, glowing light. Controlling it with light-filtering honeycomb shades will let you enjoy diffused sunshine without glare along with the highest levels of energy-efficiency. With innovative features like top down bottom up, specialty shapes, and vertical orientation for sliding glass doors, the inside of your home will match the magnificence of the season outside.

A Warm, Cozy Atmosphere

fall style trendsAs the days and nights get cooler, there’s nothing better than snuggling up and feeling warm and cozy. Whether it’s lighting a fire, pulling on your favorite sweater, or sipping a pumpkin spice latte, fall is a season that makes you long to relax in warmth and comfort. Why not do it in style, too? Home accessories are perfect for adding stylish charm while also invaluable function. Fall style trends are showing that texture is going to be big this year. For blankets and pillows, sweater-like textures give you that warm, cozy feeling you want as cool, crisp air rolls in, and they can also add dimension–think fuzzy or cable knit. For other accents, try including rustic textures through natural elements and distressed pieces. Display your fireplace logs in a wire metal basket or galvanized wash tub. Include branches, leaves, or even feathers in your fall floral displays. Wood blinds, woven wood shades, and plantation shutters are beautiful choices for adding rustic texture into your room design. Textured shades will fit perfectly into your gorgeous styling all year long while giving you the light control you need.

Fused, High-Contrast Design

The fall style trends we’re seeing are fusing these designs for a high-contrast, distinct look. Watch for distressed wood furniture being accented with metallics and mirrors. Cool, calm colors pairing with those that energize, and minimalist mid-century modern pieces standing out with distinctive finishes. When it comes to your own home, go with what you love! You have free reign to bring together elements of design that strike your fancy for a high-contrast, designer appearance. And, when styling your home, don’t forget the windows.
