Text by Claire Pool

When the cool air finally begins to blow and the burst of red, orange, and yellow foliage appears on the trees, you know that autumn has arrived. Along with pumpkins and falling leaves comes a season of hosting friends and family amidst the long-awaited abundance of vivid colors. In honor of Pantone’s Autumn/Winter 2023/2024 Fashion Color Trend Report and our Autumn 2023 issue, we’ve curated a list that showcases how to include Pantone’s choices into your home this fall with ease. With 10 different tones to inspire you, these colors, ranging from classic autumnal hues to vibrant unexpected shades, “signify our desire to communicate the joy of creativity and design joy into our lives,” as described by Pantone.

Tender Peach—Soft, neutral tones create relaxing environments to enjoy the outdoors after a hard day’s work. Whether you’re reveling in a crisp evening with friends or holding on to the last bit of warm weather, these textured deck chairs provide easy seating for alfresco entertaining.

Rose Violet—Your outdoor areas can use a splash of color, too! This garden stool from Target includes a mosaic of rich colors and can be used when tending to your fall harvest or as additional décor for your porch.

Viva Magenta—This timeless and classic kitchen received a pop of color from the homeowner, who wanted to include lots of vintage rugs in her home.

Red Orange—Alongside traditional fall porch décor, this basket of floral goodies boasts a bright tinge. Finished with a burlap bow, passersby will enjoy the mums and amaranth waving in the wind.

Red Dahlia—Beautiful fall foliage shows off its array of hues in this woodland-inspired tablescape. Partake in a hearty meal with friends and family amidst the rich colors of leaves, fruit, and flowers.

High Visibility—This shade of sunny yellow exudes warmth and can be found in gorgeous stems, like these dahlias from Summer Dreams Farm in Oxford, Michigan. A vase of these beauties will bring absolute joy to your home.

Persian Jewel—When the weather begins to chill, consider taking up a hobby in knitting to craft handmade cozies for those near and dear. Hand-dyed yarn by Zeezee Textiles come in a variety of shades to choose from.

Carnival Glass—Find ways to transition your favorite summer pieces into autumnal accents. This pastel mint tablecloth includes a harvest-themed block print, and when paired with these dark woven dining chairs, it creates a lighthearted fall tablescape.

Burnt Sienna—In a neutral sitting room like this, a pair of armchair brings life to the space. Include other warm accents to round out the room, like rattan décor, fresh flowers, and coffee table books.

Kohlrabi—In the midst of leaves changing from vibrant green to shades of red, orange, and yellow, find comfort in faux greenery to provide verdancy until spring provides fresh foliage again.
