13 Fall Color Schemes Designers Swear By for a Cozier Home This Season

Library room with large windows color-drenched berry red in gloss paint.

The arrival of fall means a shift in how our homes start to feel. In summer, with so much natural light and time spent outdoors, lighter colors and materials dominate, but in autumn, as the days get shorter and the weather cooler, our homes become more of a cocooning retreat, and color can create that comfort.

Fall color trends should reflect what's going on in nature. Think forest-like earthy browns, the ochre yellow of fallen leaves, and mossy greens. When combined with fall decor ideas, these colors celebrate cozy season in all its glory. It's not just all the usual organic hues designers rely on come fall either; trendy eggplant purples and smoky blues can bring a refreshing yet equally soothing feel to your home, too.
