Lean Into Natural Tones and Accents for Your Autumn Décor

Text by Holly Seng

Take a subtle and sophisticated approach to styling autumnal accents for natural displays that lend warmth without overpowering your existing décor.

Play It Cool

A porch doesn’t have to be vibrant to be a showstopper. From ivory and muted orange to soothing shades of blue and green, piles of pumpkins balance terra-cotta pots with leafy green plants for a setup overflowing with visual interest.

Less Is More

Create a captivating mantel vignette by blending books and taper candles with a trio of miniature pumpkins—tucking in sprigs of greenery to fill any gaps. Creamier tones enhance the rich brown hues of vintage books adorned with feathers while an unexpected dash of orange excites the eye.

Organic Influence

In lieu of an extravagant arrangement, gather an amalgam of fall foliage spanning shades of red and golden yellow. Neutral and metallic tabletop accessories let nature remain the star of the show as they set a more relaxed vibe for gathering.

Surprising Scheme

Don’t stash away your summer pieces just yet, as blue-and-white pillows make a striking statement when juxtaposed with a plaid throw boasting a warmer fall palette.

Prized Picks

Fresh from the patch or orchard, give your produce prominence of place in the kitchen with the added bonus of inspiring your fall baking. Style them with your favorite collectibles—such as artwork or copperware—for a meaningful moment.
