How to Cozy Up Your Home With Fall Colors

As summer fades and the crisp fall air arrives, the living room is layered with extra plush blankets in harvest gold and faded pumpkin. Set against the basil-hued walls and ceiling, this color combo is a modern spin on traditional earth tones.

For an extra-cozy snuggle experience, consider swapping out lightweight throw blankets in the living or family rooms for heavier, queen-sized bedroom blankets in saturated tones.

Just before the leaves change color and apple season is in full gear, combine burnt reds with neutrals for a crisp, autumnal mood. Here, the kitchen table is set with a mix of rich crimson red hues that contrast with the understated sage green cabinetry.

In keeping with a less-is-more vibe, the kitchen is outfitted with small touches of fall inspiration in the form of cut branches and seasonal serveware in deep shades of yellow and terracotta.

For an unexpected pairing, try mixing energetic mustard tones with neutral gray-greens. The overall neutral kitchen is given an autumnal kick with a few yellow accessories such as the flower pot, tapered candle, dinnerware and fresh-cut sunflowers.

In the breakfast nook, understated earth tones are on full display. Desert shades such as clay, deep coral and harvest gold were added to take it from its year-round look to a style that's ready for autumn.

The fastest and easiest way to add a touch of the season to your space is with pillows. Try a mix of deep greens, vibrant mustards and rich burnt oranges for a cozy-yet-stylish look.

Another great way to bring some autumnal inspiration into your home is through simple floral arrangements. If you're in an area that doesn't get much fall foliage, consider mixing faux stems in shades of yellow and orange with live clippings from the yard for an eye-catching display.

Make dining alfresco a cozy affair with the addition of soft pillows and plush blankets at the table. Here, the coral upholstery is accented with pumpkin-hued accessories while a fall-themed floral arrangement draws the eye up.
