Autumn Trends for Home Accessories 2023
As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it's time to refresh your home for autumn. This fall, create a cozy retreat with natural materials, muted colors, and vintage accents.
Colours
With a warm autumn forecast, avoid bold oranges and browns in fall decor; they may feel too hot. Create a neutral backdrop with white walls and light wood tones, then layer in subtle autumn colours. Start with muted neutrals like soft greens, warm taupes, and earthy whites. As weather cools as winter approaches, gradually blend in warmer rust reds, mustard yellows, and deep greens for a cosy effect.
Textures
Textural elements like wool blankets, faux fur pillows, rattan accents, and natural wood tones will also help create that welcoming fall feeling without overpowering heat. Focus on creating a comfortable, inviting space perfect for curling up with a pumpkin spiced latte and book as the leaves start to change.
Materials
Natural materials like jute, seagrass, rattan, clay, and wood will be on-trend this fall for bringing organic texture into the home. Pampas grass is expected to be especially popular this season, with its soft, natural neutral hues. Incorporate these natural elements in place of plastic and metal where possible. Displaying dried botanicals is also a lovely way to connect to nature as the seasons change. Consider arranging dried leaves, grasses, and flowers in vases and wreaths or hanging as wall art.
Vintage Accessories
Vintage and antique decor adds nostalgic charm to fall accessories. Display hardbacked books stacked on side tables or shelves. Distressed wood pieces have a cozy, timeworn feel perfect for autumn. Layer vintage rugs with fall colours and primitive patterns over floors. Incorporate these old finds among modern items for an eclectic look. Blending vintage with today's trends creates an inviting space.
Lighting
This autumn, create a warming ambiance with glass stemware, lanterns, and candle holders. Display candles in glass or wooden lanterns, clustered together or hanging from above they set a serene autumnal scene. Incorporate ceramic pieces in autumnal hues like bronze, cider, and smoke for seasonal appeal. When the sun sets early, glassware and candles provide the perfect lighting for curling up fireside with a blanket. Let the light shine through clear and frosted glass for a welcoming atmosphere.
