Neat in Navy

This transitional dining room is primed and ready for fall feasting. A glossy, hand-carved mahogany table, topped with jewel-toned floral arrangements, serves as the focal point of the design at the center of the room. A leather-suspended alabaster chandelier dangles overhead, while four custom-upholstered velvet navy stools provide plush seating for family and guests around the table.

Chocolate-Dipped Library

Savoring the season comes easy in this decadent, chocolate-dipped home library. The formal study is rich with autumn inspiration, boasting custom, coffee-lacquered walls, ceiling and built-in bookcases filled to the brim with leather-bound hardcovers. Ivory drapes frame the windows and work in tandem with linen lampshades for a touch of contrast to the otherwise moody design. A cognac leather sofa and twin Scalamandré tiger-upholstered armchairs are nestled fireside for afternoon reading; a stately wingback, styled with a pumpkin-orange throw, settles into a desk for cozy correspondence.

A Side of Cranberry

Wrapped in warm, organic finishes and equipped with a statement-making stove – this sun-drenched kitchen is prepared to host Thanksgiving dinners year-round. Honed stone floors lay the groundwork for coziness in the expansive eat-in kitchen and pair seamlessly with the rustic, marble-topped wood island and honey-stained beams overhead. While all of these features are stunning, the true crowning jewel of the design is undoubtedly the cranberry-red La Cornue range fitted with luxe brass hardware and topped with a classic Le Creuset Dutch oven. What better place to simmer a batch of our signature hot cranberry mule cocktails?

Timely Tapestry

Brilliant white walls, drapes and bedding are transitioned from summer to autumn by way of a timeless (and timely!) wall tapestry. Ruby, umber, gold and iron tones weave together to paint a forest scene rich with autumn splendor. A marble-topped mahogany chest nestles against the opposite wall, adding formal flair to the minimalist bedroom design as its rich stain mirrors the tapestry’s tones to balance the color distribution within the space.

Breaking the Rules With Black + Brown

Consider this cozy family kitchen your sign to ignore your well-meaning grandmother’s voice inside your head telling you that black and brown clash and lean into this fall-loving color palette ASAP. Inky cabinets wrap the exterior wall with out-of-sight storage and offer a sleek contrast against the snowy tilework and custom pegboard that keeps cast irons (perfect for homemade cinnamon rolls) within reach. An expansive, antique wood table with a deep walnut stain is styled with a bowl of ruby apples and serves as the eat-in island for the space. The table’s warm tones pair seamlessly with the classical oil painting hung between the skillets and the brass-lined pendant lights dangling overhead.

The tailored pumpkin-orange nook shines against the lacquered walls and, paired with nearby cranberry and marigold accents, leaves the space aflame with autumn colors.

All-Seeing Art

‘Tis the season for wearing whimsical costumes and recounting spooky fairy tales, and this guest bedroom understands the assignment. Shadowy navy walls, doors and trim serve as a smoky base for a detail-rich illustrated wallpaper complete with leaping rabbits and scavenging squirrels. A foreboding fox painting in a traditional gilt frame hangs between two doors, its rich red coat lending autumn colors to the space while its golden gaze keeps a watchful eye on the design. A cognac leather-and-walnut luggage rack adds a thoughtful touch to the bedroom and carries the same caramel tones found within the ominous artwork to the wall below.

Abstract paintings flank the window in the same dimensional gold and blue hues, encouraging the eyes to move throughout the space and lending cohesion to the design. A contemporary candlestick chandelier hangs above the sitting area for chic overhead lighting, while a brass-shaded floor lamp nestles behind the sofa for after-hours entertaining or reading.

A trio of almond, ivory and black abstract paintings fill the space above the bed and emerald velvet drapes drip from antique brass rods to frame the windows and complement the shaded chandelier at the center of the room. The piece de resistance of this fall-forward design? The classic, black-and-white buffalo check wallpaper that lines the ceiling overhead.

Embracing Earth Tones

It’s easy to leave chardonnay spritzers and summer whites in the dust when settling into a kitchen like this for fall. Clad in soft almond, pewter and bronze tones, the creamy kitchen provides owners a warm welcome to begin and end each day. A mix of contemporary and traditional honed stone tile lends an earthy backdrop to the design that pairs seamlessly with a beige banquette custom-built into the corner of the room to take in the surrounding forest views.
