Why Color Schemes and Florals Define Fall Home Decor
I’ve covered the colors and schemes to work with in my summer florals blog post. But as the seasons change, it’s time to transition from the bright red, pinks, tropical, and beach themes that capture the magic of the summer, to the earthy reds, oranges, and browns of fall.
Fall home color schemes and florals are more than decor to look pretty; they set the tone. Fall tones should convey a feeling of warmth and comfort.
The Role of Fall Home Color Schemes and Florals in Creating Autumn Ambiance
Summer color palettes are inspired by nature. Think of the fall foliage of a deciduous forest. Birch forests with bright yellow leaves. Maple trees turn bright red. And the different shades of browns and greens that litter the forest floor.
Or maybe you envision a rustic farmhouse in the countryside with a big oak tree in the front yard and piles of leaves all over the place. Capturing the color of these landscapes is the first step towards setting the tone of your home. Get inspiration for fall activities with my seasonal family traditions Pinterest board.
Seasonal Florals as the Perfect Accent
Florals bring nature into your home. In fall, we’re thinking mums, dahlias, dried grasses, and accents like pinecones and gourds. We’re also thinking of apples, acorns, and marigolds.

How to Incorporate These Color Schemes Into Your Fall Home Decor
Did you find a fall home decor color scheme and floral pairing that stands out to you the most? Does it invoke images of cozy pumpkins and the smell of baked goods? How do you incorporate these colors into florals into a living space that really brings in the season? Check out my Autumn Decor blog and let’s add some texture.
Textiles and Layers for Seasonal Warmth
Swap out lightweight summer fabrics for chunky knits, velvet pillows, and plaid throws. For pillows, strive to keep them and just switch out the pillowcases for your chosen colors. Add an area rug in a coordinating tone for instant coziness. Check out my blog on loom knitting or get inspiration from my natural fiber crafts Pinterest blog to make your own fall creations. And look for some natural or natural blend yarn to keep aligned with natural living.
Accents and Accessories: Vases, Wreaths, and Centerpieces
Incorporate your floral choices through wreaths, table centerpieces, and mantel arrangements. Use ceramic or wooden vases to complement your color scheme.
Floral Arrangements for Every Corner of Your Home
Don’t be afraid to indulge in the beauty of fall florals. They help to bring the natural world into your home. Here’s how to spread the autumn charm throughout your home. Check out my seasonal DIY crafts and florals Pinterest board for inspiration.
- Entryway: A statement wreath with seasonal blooms and dried foliage.
- Living room: A low centerpiece on the coffee table paired with candles.
- Dining table: Layered arrangements with height variation for drama.
- Bedroom: Small bud vases with dried florals for a cozy bedside touch.
DIY Floral Ideas on a Budget
Mix real and faux stems for longevity and affordability. Use grocery store flowers combined with dried grasses for a designer look at a fraction of the price. Or consider going on a nature walk to collect some plants and foliage directly from nature. Check out bulk faux florals to use throughout your home.
Invest in a few storage bins. I keep one bin for every season, and I pull out the fall bin around September 1st each year. I go through it and use what I have. Then I’ll go out and buy one or two new things to add to it. So, it grows year after year, and it saves a lot of money.
Pro Tips for Balancing Home Color Schemes and Florals
- Stick to 2–3 primary colors to avoid overwhelming your space. Don’t worry about matching the exact hue.
- Use color in layers: start with large pieces (throws, rugs), then add accents (pillows, vases).
- Keep floral arrangements cohesive by using colors from your chosen palette.
