Pumpkins and leaves in fall colors pop up in home decor for the fall season, but the same decorations year after year can become boring. If you want to incorporate newer trends in your homes in Gig Harbor, we have some tips that will make your home look stylish and cozy for the autumn seasons.

Color and texture are where designers are putting the fall focus, rather than the typical themes. That doesn’t mean you can’t add some more traditional elements, just consider ways to update them, such as a collection of white miniature pumpkins in a rich red or ochre bowl. Rather than plastic pumpkins and leaves, aim for arrangements of natural elements that can include apples, pears, wheat sheaves, and other seasonal elements that look as if they’ve just been collected outdoors. Small arrangements around the home add a subtle but elegant seasonal touch.

Colors are one of the big focus points, especially ochre and burgundy, which bring to mind some of the colors of fall. However, designers are turning more to muted shades of these rich colors for a softer look. Duvet covers, cozy throws, and throw pillows are some of the many ways to incorporate these colors. Furthermore, consider pairing these rich earthy colors with navy blue and deep gray for a chic contrast. A surprise autumn color that is on trend this season, carrying over from spring and summer, is blush pink. This warmer shade of pink adds a cheerful and warm feel to a room and is versatile enough to mix with a range of other colors.

Texture, especially the layering of different textures, is a key trend right now. For the past year or so, natural materials have been popping up in pendant lamps, rugs, and furnishings. This turn to more organic materials creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere with their naturally warm tones. Along with the obvious choices of rattan, wicker, and jute, consider supple linen, burlap, and especially velvet, this fall’s biggest fabric. An easy way to layer textures is through throw pillows that have a base texture and a contrasting decorative texture.

Don’t forget candles! Tea lights in amber glass – which is a popular decoration choice this season, too – are a great way to add a fall touch to any room. From an arrangement of thick candles in the season’s popular colors to slender white taper candles in contrasting candleholders, candles add warmth and coziness.

Look for inspiration and choose the colors and textures you most want to incorporate to create a cohesive look. A thoughtful collection adds chic style to your homes in Gig Harbor.
